HOSTEL COLONIAL - BUENOS AIRES SPOTLIGHTS ITS CAFES - THE NEW YORK TIMES TRAVEL

A few days ago, in the Travel section of The New York Times, published an excellent post, which describes the restaurants (bodegones), cafes and traditional bars in Buenos Aires, I love these places and from Hostel Colonial invite to meet and enjoy.


The post begins:
"On Saturday nights in Buenos Aires, the Miramar cafe crackles with the energy of local families, famished tango dancers and gregarious waiters delivering plates of crisp-skinned sardines, shrimp and fresh oysters. Miramar is in San Cristóbal, a barrio known for its tango dance halls but otherwise off the tourist beat. Local diners come to share generous servings of oxtail soup, rabbit hunter-style or chorizo-laced Spanish frittata. Even with a couple of bottles of malbec and mineral water, the feast seldom tops the equivalent of $15 a person".....

HOSTEL COLONIAL - WHAT WOULD YOU CHOOSE FOR GOING OUT ALL NIGHTS IN BUENOS AIRES?

We are going to have a party!!! Yes, every single day this hostel account with a place for going out. Of course, is optional we respect if you prefer stay quiet, read a book or rest enough for your holidays.
It’s kind of privilege to stay at hostels nowadays specially at the Hostel Colonial, because if you decide a party night we can offer you plenty of facilities, one is at the doors of discotheques you won’t need to make long frizzy queues, or wait that the man at the entrance will like you deciding how much you will pay or even if you enter for FREE.
We definitely guarantee you the entrance with our FREE TICKETS for several types of amusements, music and places where you can stay until the daybreak with own styles and different alternatives. Hip-Hop, Techno, Modern, Drum & Bass, Reggae, etc…

All of our programs are custom-designed by us. Given the same dedication to detail and “Porteños” flare!, Every itinerary we prepare will before be accompanied with a previous meeting named “Pizza Night”, “Caipirinha Night” or “Empanadas Party” so we could be sharing too in groups at the Hostel Colonial living room, making international friends, who knows the one you talk could be the love of your life or drinking a cold beer at the hostel bar "Backpackers Point". Then all together head to those places below:

Monday: Bar Severino. 968 Hipólito Irigoyen St., the best way to start the week with Electronic, Rock & Pop.

Tuesday: Hype Kika. 5339 Honduras Ave., Palermo Soho. Drum & Bass, Electro rock, Dub. Excellent attention of people that runs the place.

Wednesday: Museum. It’s a famous discothèque in Perú St. , San Telmo at this day but we are concern about the negative remarks shown at the Thorn Three Forums in the Lonely Planet.

Thursday: Aráoz Club. In Aráoz St. and Santa Fé Ave.. That’s a great option for Hip- Hop freaks where you will see qualified dancers and Hip- Hop culture.

Friday: Mandarines. Fascinating atmosphere with Reggaeton for those who like this rhythm, located in Punta Carrasco in front of the Jorge Newbery Airport just 15´ taxi trip from the Hostel Colonial.
Or you can go to Asia de Cuba in Puerto Madero for Latin music or The Sub, Gay discotheque right on Córdoba Ave. and Florida St. (3 blocks walking from Hostel Colonial)

Saturday: Crobar. Marcelino Freyre St. in Palermo Forests. Highly recommended for our staff!!!

Sunday: Club One. 940 Alsina St. . In the afternoons with an amazing building plus they pick up us with a transfer.

We perceive Buenos Aires an "emotion" and as such our itineraries will be tailored to suit every personal preference and style.
Which day would you choose to go out? Or just spontaneously decide with the flow. KEEP IN MIND. In some places problems appear when you dress improperly so you must be aware for taking the right clothing as a good advice: you must not wear, summer fling flaps, gym clothes, or just go with an untidy look as many times. I’ve seen local people and visitors will deny you the entrance. Keep in mind that parties in Buenos Aires goes on between an accurate and stylish sense of the aspect.

HOSTEL COLONIAL BUENOS AIRES - BLOCK OF LIGHTS

"La Manzana de las Luces" (six blocks walking from the Hostel Colonial) is a historic block of the City of Buenos Aires, which is surrounded by streets Bolívar, Moreno, Alsina, Julio A. Roca Ave. (South Diagonal) and Peru (the latter a continuation of the Florida pedestrian street).
Here are located the National College of Buenos Aires, the old church of San Ignacio, the former building of the University of Buenos Aires and other historic buildings.
Has been named so by the newspaper "El Argos" on September 1, 1821, because the institutions that intellectuals were installed there.
In 1659 the city was resolved to put in a good state of defense, which by that time was threatened by corsairs and pirates.For this reason, the Jesuits had to settle here on May 25 of 1661 on the site is now known as Block of Lights, given to the Society of Jesus by Isabel de Carvajal.
The streets of the block are hidden tunnels traversing different areas of the city, five meters deep.
It is believed that these tunnels, built in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, formed a network linking churches and public buildings with the Fort The history of the Block of Lights is to recover the past of Buenos Aires.
