May 15, 2018  |   Contributor: Nicolle Monico

Buenos Aires, Argentina has long been on my list of destinations to visit. With its neoclassical architecture, vibrant nightlife, European vibes, sexy tangos and historic sites such as Teatro Colón and La Recoleta Cemetery, it was never a matter of “if” I’d go, but “when.” So this past March I made my way to the South American country with one goal in mind: eat any and everything that I could.

Sep 21, 2016  |   Contributor: The Gwen, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Michigan Avenue Chicago
