While You're There: Buenos Aires

Here's the place to satisfy hunger before hitting the Palermo neighborhood's ultra-trendy shops, which include a MISHKA outpost. Serious shoppers are advised to skip the 50+ vodka variations (for now at least) and fill up on coffee instead:

Olsen. Nestled in Palermo, on a quiet side street, is Buenos Aires' fabulous and famous Sunday brunch spot, Olsen. Although the name hints at its Scandinavian cuisine, this is a quintessntial spot in the city for locals and tourists alike. Eggs, potato pancakes, salmon, granola, vegetable salads, and pastries are all on the menu in decadent combination plates. Call ahead for reservations inside the bright, loft-like warehouse space or outside in the small, but charming garden.

While You're There: Stockholm

For those still salivating over the previous post's mention of cardamom buns, here's where to stop for a bite when shopping in Stockholm:

Cafe Saturnus. Famous for its extremely large, extremely delicious cinnamon buns, Cafe Saturnus stakes a claim for serving the best pastries in the city. Cardamom buns provide an equally phenomenal option and are a bit more off-beat - don't be surprised if repeat visits are in order so that you can compare the two choices. Saturnus serves huge bowls of coffee, breakfast platters, sandwiches and salads as well.
