La Catedral ^ Held in an<br />

abandoned centuryold<br />

flour mill, La<br />

Catedral attracts a<br />

hip, young crowd.<br />

Modern sculptures<br />

hang from the<br />

cathedral-sized<br />

wooden roof and a<br />

huge photo of<br />

a grinning Gardel<br />

hovers over the<br />

stage. d Map L6 • D<br />

Salón Canning & This elegant tango salon is<br />

justly famed for its smooth,<br />

polished parquet floor, rated one<br />

of the best in the city for tango<br />

dancing. Classes and milongas<br />

pull in a mix of locals and<br />

tourists, beginners, and veterans.<br />

Monday and Tuesday are the<br />

big nights; Thursday mixes tango<br />

with salsa. d Map K4 • Scalabrini Ortiz<br />

* Nuevo Salón La Argentina<br />

The Nuevo Salon has<br />

marathon milonga sessions on<br />

weekday afternoons and on<br />

Friday and Saturday nights. It<br />

attracts a more experienced<br />

crowd that dances al suelo, feet<br />

pegged to the floor in traditional<br />

style with no fancy flicks. The<br />

atmosphere is friendly<br />

and a bar serves<br />

drinks and snacks. d<br />

) Sin Rumbo<br />

It is worth the trip to this<br />

outlying barrio to experience an<br />

authentic neighborhood milonga.<br />

It is best to reserve ahead as the<br />

owners close the doors on 150<br />

persons to guarantee plenty of<br />

dancing space. The idea is to go<br />

for dinner and milonga. d José P.<br />
