remember that the bike lane is on the left side of the street (as on corrientes, for example).

i love this carnicería! they have lamb, deer, goat, etc. they don't always have everything 'in stock' so you need to inquire if you are planning a dinner with specific recipes.

Hi forum, I'm from California and have been living in Buenos Aires for almost 3 years, managing one apartment in Recoleta (that rents for $900 USD a week) in addition to teaching English and doing some freelance editing and translation. I have a literature degree from Stanford University and...

I am about to launch into an explanation of the barrios of Buenos Aires and different (basic) nomenclature, because the original post needs clarification/correction: Boedo is in Capital Federal - it's a neighborhood (barrio/localidad/zona are all words you can use in Spanish, depending on the...

Hi, I'm renting my room in a shared apartment from August until December, ideally to someone who can commit to the entire duration. The rent is $1200 pesos a month, including all utilities, phone line for local calls, housekeeper once a week, internet connection, and building expenses. We have...

looking to buy a cheap screen for my window. the window is large and square. does anyone know where to get one? thanks!

vida natural on charcas just past laprida if you´re heading in the direction of downtown. (laprida is one past aguero.) it has a big ¨yoga¨ sign outside...you can´t miss it. across from reina reech dance studio (my god). it´s a great studio, btw, if you live in the area. send me a note if...

I agree. If I were to go in the popular section, I´d go with Argentine friends. It´s smart to go to games without any jewelry or watches, and with very little cash.

Granadaiscool, at this time you cannot simply show up at the stadium. I called Boca and they said they were not selling any tickets to non-socios for the Arsenal game. Occasionally on their website under press they do mention when and where they´ll be selling leftover tickets, but it is only to...

They don´t have your birth control here? It is probably cheap (like 12 USD a pack) and you don´t need a prescription.

just a quick comment about the word portero: it can be a tad derogatory or limiting because it basically means porter or doorman. (i realize that the word is sometimes written on the grid with all the ¨timbres.¨) ¨encargado¨ is a more politically correct substitute because it means the...

hi, i´ve bought river tickets at the stadium but i´m not sure if you can do that at boca. has anyone bought tickets at the field? do you happen to know how many days in advance one can purchase tickets? (i´m thinking of going to the sunday game vs arsenal). the boca juniors website was not...

anyone seen a sign for or been to a place that offers the ¨threading method¨ of hair removal?

do you speak spanish? if not i´d recommend going on a night when they have a puppet show or something that does require spanish to enjoy it. food is good but not amazing...if you don´t mind the price it is definitely worth it. the one in palermo has appetizers and entrees from $25-60 pesos...

my housemate and i have decided to throw a thanksgiving dinner for a few friends and coworkers, but with mexican food instead of the traditional turkey dinner. (we have a tortilla press and corn masa which i have not yet seen in BsAs, making for instant gratification after adding water...

does anyone know the address or street/general neighborhood of the store that only sells havaianas? (corrected from previous spelling with a w) i've searched the internet and cannot find anything. thanks!

Thanks for the responses. U.S. citizens pay taxes on foreign income---that is clear. It appears that you can get some kind of tax credit for up to 80,000 dollars in salary abroad if you are already paying taxes to the foreign government (i.e., if you are a resident and you have a sueldo en...

hi all,if someone with experience in this area would answer my questions by outlining the possible scenarios---even briefly---i'd appreciate it. my question would seem to be relevant for any foreigners buying property. i moved here from san francisco in april and i'd like to stay for a time...

thanks, everyone, for your input. it doesn't seem worth the effort (for me) to buy a dvd player in the U.S. to schlep down to bsas. i don't have time to order online anyway... an argentine friend of mine still has a few lg dvd players for a decent price ($174 pesos including warranty). please...

Seeking advice on DVD players: My Argentine roommate asked me if I could bring a DVD player back to BsAs when I return from the U.S., but he didn't mention anything about zones and power. Is it worthwhile to buy a DVD player in the U.S. to take to BsAs? It would appear that I'll need to find a...
