Well the price of a chica pizza at Las Cuartetas went from this in March To this

Just missed this...I would have loved to come

Hello everyone I'm back. Just for a week. Intend to have another phenomenal time here again. Then I'm off to Qatar for the world cup :) My passage through customs was super smooth. The higher exchange is even more phenomenal for me, but I'm sure it's just gotten worse for locals in the last 6...

As compared to what and where ... ?? It's pretty easy to say stuff like this ... with no baseline comparison around the world, in tons of different restaurants. For instance, my baseline of eating in more than 125+ countries, different price points and styles of restaurants ... I can say that...

Hey team Thanks for the check in. Well I got a couple comments on the tone of my posts and how I seemed pretty entitled. I didn't want to go into anything or call people out... so I just stopped and started putting the notes on my blog at rishiray.com

Thanks Ries, I am having a wonderful time in the city. We can discuss different economic forces at play. That being said, I am privileged to get to eat and drink like a king here in Buenos Aires. Nothing is forever. For now, tourists like me can enjoy a bargain. It won't be so forever. If I...

My first blog post :) http://www.rishiray.com/don-julio-buenos-aires-an-honest-opinion/

7th day observations The Japanese Garden on a weekend had a crazy line. I suspect that beautiful weather will contribute to that. It was about a 500 peso cab ride from Puerto Madera. While not as ornate and refined as something you would find in Japan... this is still a wonderful place to go a...

6th Day Observations: Day tripping to Lujan: I visited Lujan 8 years ago. It's a beautiful church and a great place for a day trip. Now when I say day trip... I would say plan out two things for your visit... the Church and finding some Parilla. Here's the church... Here's the second part of...

100% going to follow this itinerary and the The Hole...

Third day observations: Local food is fantastic : Duh Today was an errand day, however after errands, I needed a steak. My friend and I went to Cabildo's for lunch. The fixe price menu After about 25 seconds of deliberation : I went for the Gran Bife de Chorizo. I'm definitely going to stick to...

Sorry for the potty mouth on today's post. And this picture is Uzbek Som ... not Argentine pesos.

Btw the rate I got yesterday was 201 to 1 ... in case anyone was wondering. A very decent rate for sure.

Second day observations: Taxis and Ubers are fucking amazing with the exchange: I'm sure all the locals are going to be in frenzy about this observation or fact. When a taxi starts at 111 pesos and whipping around the city from Puerto Madero to Calle Florida for changing money (390 pesos for a...

I had a pizza for 1000 pesos and it was frigging delish. Pesos... hahahah RIP if you used a foreign card

yep... got it handed to me. one time only :)

Excellent post.. I couldn't have said it better.

This seems like an obvious. I'm here in Puerto Madero... I felt very, very safe walking around. However I am a large brown guy ... in a black plain tshirt, black shorts and sandals. Zero jewellery ever.. a brown leather satchel though. I put my fancy clothes for dinner, took a taxi from point...

Hello everyone, I'll detail my experiences in town while I'm here. First day observations: Entry into Argentina: Got into EZE at about 1pm. It took about an hour to get my luggage and clear customs. No issues at all. I was prepped with my Antigen test, triple vaccination and travel insurance...
