Caballito. This is a picture of some of the nice houses along Emilio Mitre in my neighborhood of Caballito. If you look closely (click on the foto), you can see its a self-portrait. It also has train tracks running down the center of the street, because subway line A is a few blocks away on Rivadavia and they bring subway trains along the street to a huge warehouse a few blocks in the other direction to put them to bed or to work on them. I've seen them bringing them out a couple times, and its an odd scene to see a subway train on the street. My neighborhood has a little bit of everything ... butchers, vegetable and fruit shops, bakeries, heladerias (ice cream shops), hardware stores, pizzerias and cafes. The best place I've discovered is the Mercado del Progreso on the corner of Centenera and Rosario. 

It has a long history (which you can read about on the link above) and is the equivalent of a farmer's market with butchers, cheese, produce, bakeries and other odds and ends. Upstairs there is a cultural center where there are tango lessons every Thursday and Saturday. We went there last night. Along Emilio Mitre just a little further down from the houses above is this kindergarden,  

complete with a small tortoise that lives in the front garden. 

I've seen him a couple times. How would you like to send your kids to school here?
