Hey guys I have stopped using credit cards here for just those reasons. I use a Visa debit card which works for everything a credit card did, and gets deducted automatically. Check how much your bank charges for cash withdrawals before you rack up too many. Some banks aren't to bad (I pay a...

Hello Grazie! Hope you can make it! I just started a new thread, as you suggested. Regards, David

I posted this on another thread, and the (good) suggestion was made to start a new thread, so here it is: --------------- snip ----------------- snip --------------------- Hey guys! How about another get-together out here in the "burbs"? I had a pretty good time at our last burger burn -...

Hey guys Instead of going to a bar (or even as well as) hope about another Sunday get-together out here? I had a pretty good time at our last burger burn - anybody wanna do it again this Sunday afternoon? Same deal - I'll supply the burgers, you bring whatever you're drinking (or whatever...

HG How am I going to find someone to warm up the buns if you're not here! :) Seriously, it was great meeting you - Hurry back! David

I had a very pleasant meal here the other night, I only regret I was by myself and couldn't sample more dishes. I did order appetizer spring rolls stuffed with crab (3 for $18), which were quite tasty, and a serving of Pad Tai ($30, I believe), which was nicely done as well, although could have...

Hey there thuy... Calm down - if you couldn't tell from the rest of that post, my tongue was firmly in my cheek when I said that! That being said, since I believe the whole concept of BBQ is as "Estado Unidense" as Asado is Argentine, I don't think it's arrogant to assume the best BBQ comes...

My friend Maria just sent me this - it looks like a pretty good deal for 60 pesos! That is this Thursday, I believe... FUNDACIÓN GASTRONÓMICA IBEROAMERICANA EL 28 DE MAYO DE 19:30 A 22 HS. DEGUSTAMOS CERVEZAS ARTESANALES CON EXQUISITAS TAPAS DE ANTARES Y AHUMADOS DE AHUMALEN (Sabores y...

Betts There are several places around Retiro that sell chips for (usually) 5 pesos each. Just pick your company (Movistar, Personal, or Claro (formally CTI) and put in some credit. You will need an unblocked phone of course... I have bought several and they all have worked... Hope this...

Hey guys! If you need a place to store non-valuable stuff (clothes and the like) that you don't need to schlep back to the states between visits, that is a service I have been offering visitors for some time. As some of you know this house is large, and the area that used to be a wine cellar is...

Hey guys Thanks to all youse guys who braved the BA transport system to make it here for the Sunday burger burn. I had fun, and I hope you did too! I also made out pretty well - someone brought a really nice apple pie that I discovered untouched in the fridge after everyone had left and...

Hi Sonygael, I just sent you a PM... Thanks, David

Well, I don't know about "anyone", but you certainly can! Hope you do! David

Lacoloringa I wish I HAD written it, I'd be rich! Those were from an old Jimmy Buffet song called "Banana Republic" David

TX The 29 bus runs down LM Campos (make sure it says "Olivos" in the front window - there is another ramal that you don't want - I forget what it says but Olivos is the right one) Jump on that, give the driver $1.20, and follow the directions I gave Joe below... BTW, if you feel rich, a cab...

Hummmm First Annual BsAs BBQ Open I've got a grill big enough for 4 or 5 contestants at once (Now why would I want to host a party like that, I wonder?) :) How about it folks - anybody wanna show these folks how meat is SUPPOSED to be cooked? (I suppose we could have a simultaneous...

Remember.... Some of them go for the sailn' Called by the lure of the sea Trying to find what is ailing From living in the land of the free Some of them are running from lovers Leaving no forward address Some of them are running tons of ganga Some are running from the IRS :) David

Joe The 29 runs from La Boca, through town, and eventually comes out on Libertador in Belgrano. From there it goes straight down Libertador, passes under the Grl. Pas overpass, and a few blocks later stops at Libertador and La Prida (just after the BIG Carrafour store on the right.) Cross the...

Hey there! Yet another reason to come here first, rent a place for a week, and check these areas out in person before you commit to a 3 month rental. Puerto Madero would be at the bottom of neighborhoods I would recommend because, although it is clean and "safe", it is expensive and it is a...

Hey guys! Someone suggested I start a new thread to make sure anyone who would be interested in meeting some of the forum folks knew there was a burger burn here at my house in Vicente Lopez this Sunday, starting around 3 PM or so. Burgers are on me, youse guys bring whatever you want to...
