Once a grand theatre, El Ateneo is a fabulous example of the insatiable demand of the locals for literature. The baroque-styled boxes, from which Porteños previously watched the local theatre of the day, now hold classical literature. The stage is now a cafe – usually crammed with creative types conducting animated discussions.
