It's a very nice blue-collar neighborhood, quiet, good people. Sorry to say that there are several inaccuracies in your post: the Cosechero parrilla is not in Boedo, but in Caballito--the next barrio; I haven't found any stores "celebrating the arts" yet; Esquina Homero Manzi has a big tango show every night, which was not mentioned; Boedo definitely was NOT the "birthplace of tango", but rather La Boca; and if it's on "the cusp of cool," so far nobody has noticed. My impressions are that Boedo has a great tango salon over the Carrefour supermarket on San Juan 3330. There's an historical house on Colombres 841, Casa Balear, which has Peñas (folklore), milongas and other events periodically. Cafe Margot is great for traditional food (and they also claim to have invented the turkey sandwich), and Pan y Arte is quite mas o menos. And wonderful Murgas and batucadas. Saludos!
