[Go to Argentinos] Overview
 The Argentinean community in Pittsburgh is small and comprised mainly of medical doctors, professors, researchers, musicians, and students. They come from different cities in Argentina, such as Buenos Aires, Rosario, Cordoba, Mendoza, Tucuman, San Juan, and San Luis, among others. There is no formal association; however, some of them are members of the Latin American Cultural Union (LACU), some are associated with the Center for Latin American Studies at the University of Pittsburgh, and some are members of the Latin American Students Association (LASA) at Duquesne University.
 They celebrate May 25 and July 9 as Argentinean national holidays, when they usually enjoy the taste of empanadas and asado (grill meat). They often drink "mate" and they can find the yerba (herbs), the bombilla (straw), and the mate (recipient) in "Tango Café" and the Strip District (Reyna Foods). They also can enjoy Argentinean pastries and "Submarino" (hot milk with chocolate bars) at the "Tango Café" in Squirrel Hill where they also dance the Argentinean Tango, and listen to folk music. Finally, Antonio's Catering sells products from Argentina in addition to catering.
