One thing I’ve often noticed anecdotally is that price increases always seem to occur on Fridays. I’m curious why

I found this a very interesting account. I loved San Telmo at first but eventually fell out of love with it after a few bad experiences

I’m sure that’s true but I think I had particularly bad luck. I’m currently wheelchair bound and I’d ordered a Rappi. The lift was out of action and I’m on the fifth floor so I had to wave goodbye to that 20,000 pesos and eating to instead lay claustrophobically in my melting apartment awaiting...

The last 2 weeks are the first time I’ve experienced a power cut since my first time in BA in 2022 in Cañitas. It’s been much hotter prior so I’m not sure it can be purely blamed on air conditioning.

I’ve been without power for over an hour in Palermo. My airbnb says it’s all of Palermo. Anybody else affected?

As a Brit, an alcoholic (though a beer drinker), and having slow travelled from Valencia to Malaga, if I were to open a wine bar Alicante would be the clear winner in terms of demand. However I’ve not been to Benidorm and expect that might take the cake. On the flipside I’d live in Malaga above...

I would be really interested to hear experiences from those here that have experienced a sharp peso deterioration materialise in real time. I’ve heard that Argentina was expensive at some point in the early 2000s before the peso rapidly deteriorated but I’m curious how that played out in the...

The old adage will never die: pay peanuts get monkeys. Sadly in a relative vacuum there’s little incentive to improve UX

I yearn for some good Greek yogurt and above all Skyr but I know that’s a pipedream here. Vive cafe in Palermo Hollywood is my usual go to for a decent granola Greek yogurt

I’d be inclined to agree if the software underpinning Rappi weren’t such trash. As a software dev some of the glitches I often encounter are funny at least

I expect we may finally be at a precipice. I order from Rappi a lot. Pizza data upped their Rappi prices from 16000 to 17000 about a month ago and a few days ago dropped back go 16000 pesos. I’ve come to Argentina on and off for 3 years and I think this is the first deflation I’ve ever seen...

Having been wheelchair-bound following an accident in December, I just want to really thank you for the recommendation for Mr Ho - my tastebuds feel stimulated for the first time in a long time - and that’s not a particular dig at Argentinian food but for my part I find it very boring...

I’d be interested to see statistics on “under the mattress” dollars for Milei’s tenure. Is there any benefit these days in holding dollars?

I couldn’t disagree with this more. In my experience, food quality in Europe far supersedes the US

Rarebit could easily be autocorrected to rabbit. I’ll add an addendum to my original post of the only traditional British food I indulge in to be a Sunday roast. Of course a full English is without question but let’s add rarebit and cawl to the mix. Also, without question there’s plenty of crap...

It seems to me that we currently have both 10% monthly inflation and a static USD exchange rate and I don’t see that being sustainable beyond the order of months. I’m sure tourism has plummeted from those without personal ties to Argentina and Argentinian exports must rapidly be getting less and...

Admittedly there’s plenty of bland British food but at least in the UK there are a plethora of alternative cuisines and perhaps that’s what I think BA lacks both in wideness of availability and quality. In any case I don’t tend to eat any traditional British food beyond a Sunday roast. I’d be...

I’d gladly be challenged on my opinion but I think the strength of the peso isn’t ground in reality and that its strength is akin to a sugar rush that’ll have a worrisome crash. Spending in foreign currencies are surely dwindling or stagnant and when Argentina is more expensive than any other...

Precisely! It baffles me to not be able to accentuate the base of good chips. Potatoes are cheap, how can you muck them up? I’ve still yet to try poutine but it seems a lovely idea and most varieties of loaded or dirty fries are fantastic provided it’s without the aberration of liquid...
