Buenos Aires isn’t all boliches and one-offs come nightfall. Matador Nights co-editor and long-term BA expat Kate Sedgwick captures the beauty of quieter barrios under cover of darkness.
Joe Strummer graffiti
Joe Strummer memorial graffiti in Floresta.
Arbol Ventanas
A tree against a building. Even the most ordinary things can be so beautiful here. Barrio Floresta.
Pasteleria
When you're walking down the street, you will constantly be tempted (if you have a sweet tooth) to duck into a confiteria or pasteleria for something sweet. Most of the time, the cakes look better than they are. This is a very good pasteleria in Chacaritas.
Carteles
Paper posters over paper posters ad infinitum. Barrio Flores.
Subte Linea B
A typical view of the subway, this of Linea B, the red line.
Dogs on the roof
These dogs were pretty upset with the sound of my friend's motorcycle, but I couldn't stop laughing. Photo taken outside the city.
Taxi in Velez Sarsfield
A taxi passes by in Velez Sarsfield.
Torre Hotel in Chacaritas
This hotel is really close to Cementerio de la Chacaritas and it always catches my eye when I get off the subway in this part of town. Part of the reason for this is probably the fact that the other buildings in the vicinity are much shorter two- and three-story structures.
Parilla on the River
This little parilla on the river is the first taste of bondiola I ever had. Taken on Rio de la Plata at this time last year.
Hal and Carey on Rivadavia
Trips co-editor Hal Amen with his wife arm in arm on Rivadavia in Flores.
Subway car painted with flames
Graffiti makes this train car on Linea B a comet.
Christmas in Once
At Christmastime, people set off fireworks. These were some of my neighbors when I lived in Barrio Once.
