The Colegiales Athletic and Social Club is probably the neighborhood's favorite social venue.
 Located on 2860 Teodoro García Street, it was famous in decades past for Roberto "Polaco" Goyeneche's frequent Tango recitals there.
 Colegiales was also home to the city's first cinema, Las Familias.
 The cinema was probably better-known, however, for the people who had it built than for its distinction as a historical first.
 Though now a distant memory, the colorful Anselmis entertained generations of locals with their namesake circus on Lacroze and Cabildo Avenues.
Today, sadly, none of these establishments exist, as they either shut down or relocated to the more upscale Belgrano, to the east.

The Argos Cinema (on 3455 Federico Lacroze Ave.)
was long the most popular in Colegiales, as it included a cinema, theatre, meeting hall (popular with evangelists) and a dance hall.
It was renovated and reopened in May 2012 as the Vorterix Theater, a music venue with a 1500 capacity theater which also houses the radio station Vorterix Rock.
Another radio station, Radio Metro (95.1 MHz), is also based in Colegiales, on Conde street.

Colegiales' cafés, many still open, are often not unlike pool halls, frequented by night owls and assorted "ne'er-do-wells."
Perhaps the best-known is the Café Argos (Federico Lacroze & Álvarez Thomas Avenues), which still boasts its period decor and billiard tables.

The Federico Lacroze Area Development Council, on 3955 Maure Street, publishes its own periodical, El Fomentista.
 Socially and culturally invested, it provides a forum for literary circles like the Enrique Banchs Literary Society and the Chacarita-Colegiales Historical Society.
Colegiales is also home to a Rotary Club, on Arribeños & José Hernández Streets and a Lions Club, on 2964 Teodoro García St.
Recently, upscale lofts were developed in what years ago were the massive Buenos Aires flour mills (known also as Silos Minetti), on 1916 Dorrego Street.
Elegant and trendy, they were built into the silos themselves (see photo above) and have become popular with local yuppies.

Until 1988, the popular Dorrego Farmers' Market operated in Colegiales, on Álvarez Thomas & Dorrego Avenues.
Its stalls were run by a veritable "United Nations" of Portuguese, Italian, Spanish and Japanese-Argentines offering all manner of produce and homemade canned goods.
 It later became Buenos Aires' largest flea market, famous for its supply of everything from African handicrafts to antique china, costumes and housewares.
The flea market was renovated by the City Government and reopened in 2011.

Colegiales celebrates its Neighborhood Day on September 21.
