Centro/Houston St
The Buenos Aires Centro (downtown) is the political heartbeat of the city, and the nation, where porteños and bonaerenses have for over a century congregated to praise, protest, and pressure governments of varied stripes. Houston Street traverses a diverse cross-section of residential, commercial, and artistic neighborhoods in Lower Manhattan. In both, public art predominates, exposing vibrant – and sometimes contentious – urban histories proper to each city.
