Boca watering

If you've ever received a postcard from Buenos Aires, I'm willing to bet a few pesos it featured a gorgeous couple engaging in a passionate tango in front of a flashy yellow, orange or red building. Understandably, you focused on the gorgeous couple. But the backdrop, the famed Boca (mouth in Spanish) neighborhood, is also fantastic. It was originally a hub for Italian immigrants, then the root of Maradona's ascension and now an unmissable tourist trap. That said, it has thankfully conserved it's funky, grungy style-- if you slalom past the terrace restaurants, street mimes and throngs of visitors.
