While many tourists come to Buenos Aires for the parrillas, Palermo, Caminito, Boca Stadium, and Tango, for visitors from across the nation and neighboring countries, Buenos Aires is all about the nightlife, theater, books, pizza, and the lights of Corrientes. The story of Corrientes reflects Buenos Aires' status as a metropolis that it gained in the early 20th century. It transformed from an unattractive, run-down outpost to South America's most important economic and cultural center, surpassing Rio de Janeiro or Lima.

​

La Calle Corrientes was added to the list of Buenos Aires' icons, romanticized and idealized, referred to in songs, films, and radio shows as the symbol of the city's vibrant cultural life. For actors, actresses, directors, and dancers, having their name up in lights on Corrientes Avenue was the equivalent of Times Square for their American counterparts.

Corrientes Avenue had its heyday in the 50s and 60s, with couples, families, friends, and tourists coming from all over town and the suburbs to enjoy a night out in "the centro." A typical outing would include watching a play at one of the many theaters and then indulging in a pizza, the number one option for everyone on Corrientes.
