\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t So, the World Cup is over, we lost, it\u2019s cold, and everyone seems to hate Argentina these days \u2014 or at least that\u2019s what algorithms are constantly pushing into our phones. Good news is we can still play another national sport, this one called fingir demencia (\u2018just pretend you\u2019re insane\u2019), act like none of that actually happened, and carry on with our lives \u2014 especially our weekend.\u00a0<\/p>\n
This one in particular is expected to be both chilly and filled with entertaining options, from film programs to a literary party in Chacarita, jazz and pop legends playing, a citywide cocktail festival, and a slate of food events.<\/p>\n
We didn\u2019t get to bring the Cup home, but that doesn\u2019t mean we can\u2019t have a good time. And, as always, the Herald\u2019s got you covered.\u00a0<\/p>\n
