The business conducted in hip Palermo Viejo's Feria de Plaza Serrano rivals that done in the neighborhood's trendy boutiques. In a small square -- which is actually round -- artisans sell wooden toys, ceramics, and funky jewelry made of stained glass or vintage buttons. This is also a great place to buy art: the railings around the playground act as an open air gallery for Palermo artists, and organizers control the quality of art on display. The feria continues unofficially at many nearby bars, which push their tables and chairs aside to make room for clothing and accessory designers: expect to find anything from cute cotton underwear and one-off T-shirts to clubbing dresses and silver necklaces.
