About Abasto Shopping
From 1889 to 1984 the Abasto was the main wholesale market for fresh produce in Buenos Aires; since 10 November 1998 its great hall has been a shopping centre, the largest in the city, in its own words. It is at Avenida Corrientes 3247; the shops open daily, 10am–10pm, and the restaurants stay open later. The Museo de los Niños, a children’s museum, is inside.
