It's not in Hollywood, but I really like Libertad -- they have a location in Las Cañitas, which I've gone to, and I want to say they have one in Recoleta as well. I didn't get a full service, but I found the price for re-centering and truing my wheel to be very reasonable. Their repair shop...

For the validity in the US question, that's dependent on the job or grad school program you'd want to get from the degree, but it might be worth noting the difference between degree types: tecnicatura degrees are more analogous to associates' degrees, and licenciaturas are more like a...

I can't answer all of your questions, but public schools (like the one you mentioned) are free to foreigners. If you decide to pick a private school, that would have a cost whether you're Argentine or foreign. Some schools require a language test for foreigners, but they'll spell that out in...

Seconding Meetup, in part to shamelessly plug the Meetup group I'm starting to put together to organize art-related outings around the city: https://www.meetup.com/ba-art-outings/

I haven't taken this class, but I just noticed it on the map yesterday -- Argentine cooking classes in English: https://argentinecookingclasses.com/_maquetado/contact.php

I think you can find other peoples' experiences on some of these issues by searching in the forum.

OP might be well past this point, but in case it's ever helpful to someone finding this post in the future: it seems like if you don't have local income or a co-signer you can pay a deposit of 6 months worth of rent to the company on top of the cost of the insurance that will get refunded at the...

The Bon o Bon ones come pretty close for me, though it's not exactly peanut butter, just a ~peanut cream~.

In case this is ever useful to someone else -- Havanna alfajores are kosher-dairy (as is Cachafaz) and therefore beef-free, and at least one type of Mamuschka alfajores (almond) are as well.

I mean, making them at home you certainly don't have to use beef fat, but once I knew to start looking for it, it seems pretty common in commercially-prepared ones to have cookies made with it.

I should have thought of this earlier, but I didn't realize until today how many alfajores are made with beef fat. Does anyone know of good places to get vegetarian-friendly ones? They don't have to be vegan, dairy/eggs/honey are OK. As far as the bigger brands of packaged ones go, it seems...

You won't be able to get a DNI with a four-month Spanish class. It could take much more than 3.5 years to get a passport without legal residence, and you have to use a lawyer to apply for citizenship without legal residence, it's not just 'better to have'. Others who have tried recently to open...

Not sure how close to downtown you want to be, but here's studios in Recoleta: https://www.zonaprop.com.ar/departamentos-alquiler-recoleta-hasta-1-ambiente.html Or if you want furnished temporary rentals: https://www.zonaprop.com.ar/departamentos-alquiler-temporal-recoleta-hasta-1-ambiente.html

I hope people will still post alternative recommendations, but I can confirm that Gabriel Celano is still doing immigration law. I'm a current client of his, and I became a client in Feb. 2023, so somewhat recently.

I got a US number through TextNow, though I don't pay for data so I couldn't port my old number. It's been working for a year and a half a this point, and I can use it to call or text the US and Canada free ($10/yr to use the service at all). It works for most 2FA, though not Venmo/Paypal...

Your friend should talk to to Celano -- based on my conversations with them, and without knowing the details of your friend's work, they might advise your friend to apply under a rentista visa. https://www.celano.com.ar/es/

You're making an awful lot of presumptions here both about what I'm looking to practice within the realm of speaking and how I interact with the world...? This was a bit of a lecture, a patronizing use of the "author's 'we' ", and unhelpful. I can work with a teacher or a class to practice...

I'm trying to improve my spoken Spanish, since my speaking level is way behind my reading and listening, and I have other ways to practice writing. I've thought about going to language table-style events, but when I've done that in the past I've found that I mostly just get to practice...
