Big Story: Climate Control

Underground Gourmets: Casa SaltShaker, Buenos Aires
If you haven't yet made your way down to the booming social scene that is B.A., better hurry: After a rough couple of years, experts are predicting the Argentine economy is headed for an upswing, which would mean an end to the rock-bottom prices on those two-inch steaks and five-star hotels. Once you're there, duck off the tango-heavy tourist track for a dinner at Casa SaltShaker, the local answer to New York's Freemans (Freemans circa 2004, that is). Expat American Dan Perlman runs this tucked-away spot in his home in Barrio Norte, where he cooks elaborately themed dinners (past efforts have included an English Renaissance spread) for a maximum of a dozen diners just once or twice a week.
Approximately AR $60 per person. (646) 502-8699, www.casasaltshaker.com.
