Pope Francis in NYC: Three Argentinian Restaurants to Impress the Pope
We’re sure that you HAVEN’T heard, because it’s top secret and no one is talking about it, but someone important is in town. With Pope Francis in NYC for the first time, we want to make him feel right at home, so we figured we’d take the Holy Father on a tour of our favorite Argentinian restaurants. Okay fine. He didn’t ask us to have dinner. But still, these three legit, no nonsense Argentinian places are where you can go to get into papal fever… or just stay away from the crowds.
