Try Marcelo or Chiuso for decent italian food and high quality ingredients.

Don't think so, al vongole means with clams, those look like mussels!

The waiters don't get the cubierto. It is a normal cost of eating out here and goes to the restaurant. Practically no restaurant in London or New York would let you take 3 or 4 hours over dinner these days, you get a two hour slot and then they churn the table. I have never experienced that...

I have a B&B in Palermo. Moved here 5 years ago and love it! You are very welcome to come and stay and I will help you find your way round this great city. I am not one of the people on this forum that is constantly looking for stuff from home that they can't get here or moaning about things...

Though you get the same stuff in the Mercado Central much cheaper! Worth the trip if you are kitting out your kitchen from nothing.

Go to the kitchen bazar in the mercado central. Professional quality, plenty of choice, low prices.

Thanks Nancy and Frenchie. Sounds like Gabriel is more the sort of guy we need (though pity he lives a long way out). We will just have to pile all the little jobs together to make sure he has enough to justify a few full days.

Hi guys, I have a little B&B in Palermo which is always in need of bits and pieces of repair and maintenance. We had a good handyman until recently who could turn his hand to most things but unfortunately he can't come anymore. Anyone have any suggestions for a replacement? Someone who above...

Mellina oposite mercado del progreso always has raw shrimp and lots of other fresh fish and do incredible weekend offers if you reserve your order during the week. Also have spanish octopus, norwegian salmon etc. The best chinese restaurant in BA is in Villa Crespo, Vera and Scalabrini Ortiz...

I think you hit the nail on the head. "Why are video games violent. Because they would be pretty dull if they weren't" To quote you. For me that quote justifies writing the whole genre off as worthless rubbish. And yes, I would quite agree that any book, film, or other media that solely relies...

I don't understand why you guys don't just send money to a cueva. At the worst of times it costs a maximum of 5% (and normally less) to end up with cash dollars in BA. Then you can change at whatever you perceive to be the best rate. This cards and Colonia business seems to be very complicated...

Quite understand, I'm brit too, will send you a mail.

I host occasional pop-ups/puerta cerradas in my B&B in Palermo. I have a small but well equipped professional kitchen and can seat 18 comfortably in the winter, or 30 or in summer (on the if necessary heated terrace). It's a difficult thing to make money doing unless you do it several times a...

Hi, I can introduce your husband to quite a few chefs once he has got his Spanish up to scratch. Also, if you give me some idea of where he has worked and in what positions I would be happy to forward his details to a number of people.

Crappy article but I do love Villa Crespo. I lived there for 18 months before starting my B&B in Alto Palermo and couldn't have been happier (other than the frequent power outages). It mainly came down to the fact that after a few months you know so many people and that my evening trawl round...

A good tip if you are pan frying a cut with less fat is to paint it with butter then cook if in a very hot pan flipping frequently. The butter speeds the caramelisation of the outside imparting more taste, while the flipping ensures even cooking. Then rest it for 5 minutes of course before...

Sounds like a lot of fun to me, with enough money to live on quite well....go for it....you can always come back!

After five years here I finally found a chocolatier that produces top international quality chocs. I wrote him up on my blog. He has a workshop in Villa Crespo and even does chocolate making nights. You can find him on FB. https://www.facebook.com/diego.chocolatier?fref=ts . Tell him Miles sent...

This sums it up for me, I think the ruling is a bloody disgrace: http://www.project-syndicate.org/commentary/argentina-s-debt-and-american-courts-by-joseph-e--stiglitz#cJTX1kltoXeTx7tw.01

No, all seems perfectly normal and very easy.
