Cafe Los Angelitos

That is the name of the place in which lots of tango people used to go to dance. It was opened for the first time in 1890, and it gathered many well known people from arts, politics, and common people with the desire to take tango lessons.
Unfortunately, many, many years later, in 1992, it closed down because one of its ceilings fell down. I have passed by this famous corner of the city many times as my father lives in the same block.
So it was a surprise to see the place has been renewed, and reopened to the public last weekend. It is also a surprise that the ticket to a tango show (very famous shows in Argentina) is said that will cost around USD100, or more. I hope they will provide more than a show for that!

USD100 seems a lot of money to fork out for a show when you are a local resident. Tourists of course will have no trouble with paying that.
Btw, judging the pics the place looks absolutely beautiful! It is great that they were able to save it and restore it to its former glory.
