It is located in the commercial gallery Güemes (1915). Considered an advanced building for its time. The building has an interior pedestrian passage, 116 meters long, which joins the streets of Florida and San Martin and is considered the first building in our country built entirely of reinforced concrete and as one of the first skyscrapers of the City of Buenos Aires . In one of the departments of the sixth floor he lived during part of his fifteen-month stay in Buenos Aires, between 1929 and 1931, the French writer and aviator Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, who wrote the book Vuelo nocturno.
The bar is well known in banking and entertainment, in the basement of the building was the Radio Libertad, so it was common for artists to attend the bar.
At present, and for almost fifty years, the Boston City café, open from Monday to Friday from 6:00 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., serves a large clientele in the center, made up of actors, athletes, plastic artists, office workers, executives and general public.
The interior of the Boston City is very interesting. It has an important circular central bar with glass top and marble front with geometric decorations in bas-relief. The other bar, lateral and straight, made of granite and wood, is for drinks. A small slope, elevated, allows another perspective from its nine tables. From there, through a straight staircase, you reach the upper level, which in its plant repeats the silhouettes of the two mentioned bars.
Coffee with milk with croissants, pasta frola, alfajores de maicena, palmeritas, bay biscuit, apple and ricotta cake, together with crumb sandwiches, toasted sandwiches, and black bread, French, Arabic or pebete sandwiches are part of the classic porteño offer of the Boston City.
From the Café, in addition to the magnificent access to the upper floors (Entrada Miter), you can enjoy the Güemes Gallery, with its magnificent Botticino marble pilasters imported from Italy, the 36 stained glass windows with gold-like bronze carpentry, the elevators, the luminarias and its two inner domes, that turned it into one of the buildings that has been protected by the Government of the City with structural cataloging.
