Feria de Plaza Palermo

The Feria de Palermo is a great little open air market that happens in Plaza Palermo every Saturday and Sunday. Stands fill the streets of Costa Rica, Malabia, and Armenia, which also happen to surround this plaza. The stands include a variety of hand crafted goods, such as skirts, earrings, purses, toys, barbie clothes, small instruments and plenty of other interesting artisan items. You can even find useful things, such as plug adapters, for much cheaper than at a store. The market is open all year round, so make sure you pass by every so often to see what is new. - Rease Kirchner

Supermercado Color

Supermercado Color is a decently stocked supermarket that also has a fruit and vegetable stand attached, though the stand is actually owned by someone else. Supermercado Color carries a lot of basics such as pasta, dairy, wine, grains and even household cleaning products and some pet supplies. They open at 9a and stay open until at least 9p on weekdays. On the weekends, be beware that they do not open until 5p. - Rease Kirchner

Miami

Miami is a small, but well-stocked mini-market and produce stand. The great thing about this place is that the hours are more generous than those of the bigger supermarkets, opening earlier and staying open later. Here, you can find all your food basics; eggs, milk, bread, etc., as well as fresh produce, deli meats, and a few household items as well. The lines are much shorter than at the supermarkets as well. Delivery is available. Call for more details.

Carrefour Express

Carrefour express has an incredible amount of stuff for such a tiny place. If you can squeeze in the tiny aisles without colliding with other customers, you will find all the basics. There is a dairy section, grains, canned foods, drinks, etc. You can even find some household items such as soap and laundry detergent. It is perfect for when you only need a few things and don't want to be bothered with a big supermarket. - Rease Kirchner

El Galpón

While this city may have a verdulería (fruit or vegetable shop) on every corner, it is nearly impossible to find one that sells organic produce. Situated in between abandoned train cars and the Federico Lacroze station, walk down a desolate Chacarita cobblestone street to a bright yellow warehouse and rejoice in organic heaven. Every Wednesday and Friday El Galpón, Buenos Aires' premiere organic market, offers locally grown produce, poultry, dairy, baked goods and even clothing. Peruse the community garden for fresh herbs, buy chunks of freshly produced cheese and yogurt, or select from a wide range of rare organic wines. Make sure to arrive early and go straight to the poultry stand - with only one provider, there is generally a waiting list for the free-range chickens.

Barrio Chino

Compared to other international cities, Barrio Chino (China Town) in Buenos Aires may be small, spanning only two short blocks in the Belgrano neighborhood, but crowds still flock by the thousands to experience the energy of little China in this South American city. The mecca for knick-knacks, imported food products, exotic spices, and fresh seafood, shoppers find themselves wandering around for hours, filling bags with exciting goodies. Most of the shops are owned by Chinese or Taiwanese immigrants, many of whom migrated to Buenos Aires in the 1990s. With grocery stores stocking a wide selection of hard to find products and restaurants serving up an Argentine version of Chinese food, Barrio Chino has become a destination for the culinary adventurous. If you happen to be in the city during the Chinese New Year, don't miss out on the massive celebration filled with music, street food and of course the Chinese dragon.
