    Food revolution bypasses Buenos Aires

    I think you're probably right about the maid. This happens to many Paraguayan maids, too. There food is so distinct from the food here, and sadly it's not likely to become as widely popular as Peruvian food. The only Paraguayan restaurant my boyfriend and I have been able to find is in...

    Cheap Flights to the States?

    I just bought a ticket from vayama.com to Atlanta for $650USD, taxes and travel insurance included. Night non stop to DC and morning connection to ATL. They wouldn't show me the airline until afterwards, but it's with United.

    entry into argentina

    My partner and I had no problems flying with one-way tickets last September on (the then recently nationalized) Aerolineas from Madrid. He's Paraguayan. I'm from the US. The ladies at the ticket sales counter debated on whether or not to sell us the one-way, but the check-in crew didn't give...

I'm not the first on this thread to touch on this, but of course there's a faction of pretentious bobo...

    Anyone know of a good Gym?

    Hello everyone! Does anyone know of a good gym in Palermo, Belgrano or elsewhere on the D-line (and beyond if you know a great one)? I live in Belgrano, but I'd like to have a healthy reason to leave the barrio and meet some new people outside the bar scene. A place with group fitness...

    New to the site

    ¿Que tal chicos? I'm a 20-something, female English teacher, new to the forum, but I've been living in Buenos Aires for about 5 months now. I've lived in such diverse parts of the city as Villa Lugano and Las Cañitas, and now I'm living in Belgrano until July. Any advice on good gyms in...
