    women's or coed basketball

    I'm definitely up for playing too - I haven't played bball in over 10 years so am a bit rusty, but let's get a girls group (or coed) going. Since girls don't really play a sport like basquet here, I wonder if it will be hard to be incorporated into a coed team.

    I know the subway on tucuman has been there for at least 2 years, but it's never busy. I took a group of argies once, they thought it was too "weird" to try.

    Best Mexican Restaurant in City

    For authentic Mexican street food, La Fabrica Taco is by far best. The food at Taco Box is really good (order the fajitas with pollo y carne), but it's not so authentic. Lupita is decent too. For something quick and cheap, I like el gato viudo burritos on Viamonte y Carlos Pellegrini. Other...

    American Food

    I have tried the burger at Gringa and thought it was a bit too soft / meatloaf-like for my taste. I'm always open to give it another try tho! In my opinion, the burgers at Sugar and Kansas are better - but Gringa does have a good/fairly priced brunch menu.
