About this Neighborhood
Abasto is the neighborhood that used to be the city's produce market and is now the neighborhood around the Abasto shopping mall — which tells you exactly how these stories go. Seventy-two restaurants are anchored by Morita (contemporary Argentine, genuinely good) and La Continental, with Burger King providing the mall gravity. Twenty-one coffee shops include Starbucks and La Tolva, both pulling different customers. The grocery count of 42 reflects the legacy infrastructure of a neighborhood that used to provision the entire city — those corner markets didn't go anywhere. Six parks are modest for the density, with Plaza Miserere and Plaza Almagro doing most of the heavy lifting. Social glue of 39 is the tension: Abasto is a through-neighborhood, part of the Almagro axis that people cross rather than settle in. The digitalNomadGravityLite of 100 is aspirational given the actual café situation — it's more Starbucks than specialty, which produces a different kind of work session. Remote_friendly if you like ambient noise and don't need fiber.
