Argentina: Balvanera
Being from Argentina myself, I have to admit that when it comes to eating red meats, I am very picky. Back home we have a huge variety of cuts (and organs) that are super fresh and tasty, and most of them are pretty hard to find in the city (and/or really expensive). But, luckily, I found Balvanera, a charming spot in Lower East Side that transports me back home thanks to its rustic decor, national music, and to-die-for steak. What to order? Beef empanadas, provoleta, and ensalada de endivias to start with. Moving forward to the meat offerings, some of my favorites are the mollejas and entraña (skirt steak) with chimichurri sauce. If you want to make your experience even more authentic you must order a glass (or bottle) of Malbec wine to pair with your meal.
