Cafes Notables -- Buenos Aires

Local men enjoy a beer and games of billiards of chess at Cafe de Garcia in Buenos Aires' Villa Devoto neighborhood. Garcia, opened in 1937 by the Garcia family, wears its past on its "sleeves." A Boca Junior T-shirt signed by Diego Maradona joins accordions, cue sticks, wine skins, rifles, and numerous vintage items on shelves and yellowed walls. (Kevin Moloney for the New York Times)
