Just off the Plaza Dorrego is an old-fashioned news stand.

Lots of old silver and knives. A street filled with artists just off Plaza Dorrego.

Old fans and naughty pictures …. Morgan Cartier looks over some jewelry.

If you ever needed silverware … The “drunk puppet” acted out a lovesick tango song.

Flowers for sale in the Mercado Glassware, whips and spurs …
