This Argentinian steakhouse holds a special place in our hearts as we met in this space back in 2006 (it was a different restaurant then). That aside, they have the best rib eye and quality cocktails. Check out the roof ("El Techo") for a view of the city, a margarita and more casual fare.

Parks & Nature
One of our favorite spots in the City. Wander around the park to check out the various subcultures (i.e. hipsters, hippies, families, gay sunbathers, etc.). Grab a sandwich, a bottle of wine and a blanket and head up the hill for a great view of the city. If the weather's nice the park will be packed so arrive early to secure a good spot!
