I found some wonderfully spicy jalapenos and habeneros at the inside antique section of the San Telmo Market last Sunday - 10 peppers were 5 pesos. Also, I get my bean fix by ordering black beans a la carte from CBC - one portion is only 8 pesos - then I make beans and rice or black bean...

I like the "Chino" Supermercado on Costa Rica between Humboldt and Fitz Roy. It's SUPER clean and has a decent selection for the basics - they even bake fresh bread in the back! I usually hit up the Jumbo once every 10 days or so to stock up, but I use the Supermercado for daily needs. The...

It is so sad, silly, ridiculous, and ultimately futile, to be debating such a controversial subject matter on a public forum dedicated to connecting ex-pats in a foreign land. Don't you have better things to do with your time? What's next...should we continue with abortion and expand the...

Does anyone know of an English-speaking vet in Palermo, or close by, who could provide the proper documentation to travel with a dog back to the US?

Go see Ryan. He is fantastic! His number is above.

Welcome! My girlfriend and I are from NYC and are here for a few months as well. A good way to meet other expats is to hit up the El Alamo Bar on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon. They show college and NFL football, and while sports bars may not be your thing, the atmosphere is usually pretty...

What is the best thin steak to order? And by thin I mean about 1cm in height. I guess what we'd call a skirt steak in the States - really thin and a little crispy, but very juicy at the same time. And any suggestions on the best place to order it?
