In 1985, a man named Jorge Eckstein decided he wanted to open a new restaurant in his city, Buenos Aires. A short while afterward, he was able to purchase an abandoned mansion in the San Telmo neighborhood, which he planned to renovate.

Shortly after Mr. Eckstien started renovating the place, he found something strange. The patio was sinking. This was the lead to one of the Argentine capital’s most amazing archaeological sites.

A team of archaeologists arrived at the scene to try to understand the history of the mansion. They found out it was abandoned by its original occupants in the latter part of the 1800s, when they fled the city from a deadly wave of yellow fever.

Digging deeper, the archaeologists discovered a long system of tunnels—almost 2km of passages. A later study suggested these tunnels were dug around 1780 to reroute a stream of flood water, which brought dirty water to the city when it heavily rained.  

Today the El Zanjón de Granados tunnels are open for visitors, where you can learn more about the amazing architectural and historical story of these old inventions.

Address: Defensa 755, C1065 AAM, Buenos Aires
Opening hours: Guided tours on Monday to Friday at 12pm, 2pm and 3pm

Le Parker Meridien. Sounds fancy, right? Their New York hotel, The Parker – a dazzling accommodation space next to Central Park – is carefully designed so any guest will feel pampered. But if you walk towards the back of the atrium, you’ll find a peculiar curtain that unveils a whole different side of the high-class brand.

If you look behind the maroon curtain, you’ll be greeted by a dark hallway with a neon burger sign at the end.

As long as you’re not afraid of the dark, walk down the hallway and you’ll find yourself in a joint that serves up generous, juicy burgers, along with a host of desserts, shakes, and sides.

It may look a little sloppy compared to its elaborate exterior, but the Burger Joint’s customer-decorated walls are what makes it so homey and welcoming. Leave your own mark with your signature or graffiti. They also have a simple menu, so if you expect truffle oil on your meat, go somewhere else.

The Burger Joint is one of the most special, no-frills restaurants in the city. Just make sure you have cash and an appetite.
