No substitute for the real thing... and second the ddl remarks.

I've seen Canadian maple syrup in a specialty imports shop on Pueyrredon between Gutierrez and Pacheco de Melo. I think it's called Gourmet. There are a number of similar shops in that area on Pueyrredon that would probably sell it. As far as pancake mix goes you can try New Garden or other...

Casa Bar is okay. Though it's usually overcrowded, loud, and impossible to move around. If you're into noisy places than that's not a problem. You could also try Sugar in Palermo or Alamo bar. I've heard both play the super bowl though I haven't been before.

The great thing about pessimism, and global collapse for that matter, is that historically, when it finally does collapse, you can be optimistic that the future can only get better. One can only fall until they hit bottom (though this term is relative to circumstance), then they can lie there...

Agree completely, I highly doubt most economic ministers want anything but to improve the situation in their country. Sometimes though the situation can be so complex and multi-faceted that truly digging yourself out of a hole, or a multiplicity of holes, can be an impossible task for even the...

Perhaps it is a stop-gap measure looking to halt inflation long enough for revenues generated by the agricultural sector start rolling in, which should give the country some breathing room to find a more long-term fix. It seems there were few options left to them in mitigating the current...

Bloomberg presents an insightful op-ed on Argentina's current economic position that anyone with a limited economic understanding could follow. It's worth a look, even if some of the ideas it presents are probably wishful thinking...

I usually charge between 80-100. If inflation continues to rise I'll kick it up to 90-120 in the next couple of months. At this point though 80 is still a liveable wage if your working 20 hrs a week.

I'd love a little bit of pick up. I love BA but I've been sports starved for well over a year. Some good football, American style, or rugby would be great. I notice they do lots of pick up sports in the parks in Palermo. Don't know how legal it is but everyone does it. If someone does organize...

In that case I'm a breakfast professional with the best type of personality, and I make any room better just by stepping inside. Power trip.

A giant homemade blueberry muffin, sliced in half and grilled in butter. Two buttermilk pancakes, 1 blueberry, 1 banana chocolate chip, both doused in a bath of maple syrup. A side of bacon also doused. A side of homefries likewise doused. All this accompanied by refillable coffee. I actually...

I had the Krupps for years before it burned out yesterday. It truly ground the coffee well. I think I'll check out Barrio Chino for the hand grinders and if I don't find one that suits my needs I'll go to Once and search for my dream manual grinder. If not, perhaps I'll look at the Braun you've...

Although those Molinillos de cafe by Moulinex are quite nice!

Thanks for the tips guys. I was sad about the old one, after all it had served me so well. I'll check those places out and see if I can't find anything that will do the trick. I'll go electric if I have to but the hand crank kind are so much more fun. Perhaps I'll even go the old mortar and...

Hello everyone, I recently returned to lovely Bs.As. and I brought along my trusty, electric, coffee grinder to take care of all my coffee grinding needs. However, unlike most of my electrically run appliances, my coffee grinder was not up to the task of managing the voltage from the outlets...

Look for the wifi sign at the entrance to any cafe. Most cafes with wifi will advertise it on the door, and it's usually pretty good - password and everything. Havanna is usually pretty secure (password and all), though the wifi gives out on occasion.

Good old knife and fork. Sacrilege in the U.S. no doubt. I guess you can't please everybody.

Hi guys, I recently purchased a new phone and plan to use it in Argentina. It's compatible with the SD cards there but I'd like a little info on carriers and pricing, specifically for minutes and data. I've used Movistar in the past but don't know about Claro or Personal or data usage fees.

I'm stocking up on the finest grade A medium amber. I'll be taking requests.

CDMA comes with GSM capability - GSM however doesn't come with CDMA.
