There are always a group of pizza complainers. Me, I dont believe any pizza can be bad, I like all kinds, from Chicago to NYC, from Roma to Napoli, and even Argentine Pizza. Everybody always says that all argentine pizza is bad. This year, though, I have found several new (at least to me)...

Stud Free Pub was a very important part of Argentine Music History, but very short lived as well. In existence only from about 1982 to 1986 or so, dozens of really important early Rock Nacional bands played there. It was on Libertador, just north of the tunnel, in an old horse stable, an...

There is a very interesting series on Netflix right now that is about the history of rock and roll in Latin America, but with a distinctly Argentine slant. This is mainly because the three main people involved, Gustavo Santalolla, Picky Tallarico, and Nicholas Entel, are all Argentine. They try...

Dilettante that I am, I only live in Argentina 3 months out of the year. Which means I havent been searching the markets since February. So, my question is, is there any premade Kombucha tea or drinks available yet? Argentina is sometimes slow to catch on to the latest fads- but Kombucha is a...

I am going to try to keep track of the music I see. Saturday, this guy was playing at the Underground Market. He was entertaining, not exactly going to be the next Lady Gaga, though. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6t5OfAljQyA

http://www.latimes.com/nation/shareitnow/la-sh-pope-francis-bouncer-20131202,0,4488769.story#axzz2mPzDgR8j The Pope was a bouncer- but where? Niceto, maybe? or the heavy metal shows at El Teatro? Was he at Cromanon the night it burned, helping people out? what a guy...

Lately I have been really into Terraplen- the Argentine band, not the Chilean metal band. http://www.myspace.com/terraplenfolk/music/songs/tabla-rota-65831318 This is the latest project of Gaby Kerpel, and it strikes me as quintessentially Porteno- it is the mix of Latin American and European...

Anybody ever taken any classes in Filete? you know, the scroll like decorative sign painting? I am wondering who teaches good classes. Due to my schedule, right now I am looking at short classes, a day or two. Maybe later I could take a full two week or month long class, but in May, I may...

Somebody mentioned it in the last month or so, and I could swear I bookmarked a link to it, but now I cant find it. Its in a park or racetrack down around Villa Riachuelo, and its like an american "flea market" where most of the stuff is actually new, not antiques like at plaza Dorrego. anybody?

Yarn. NO, I know its nowhere near as exciting as global economic meltdowns. But life goes on. And both my wife and I are long time crochet and knitting fans, and we love buying yarn in Buenos Aires. There are all kinds of great, locally made products, priced very reasonably. While most known...

Recently, somebody posted about how they hate the food here. To me, thats pretty incomprehensible- I love the food here- but I guess I could see it if you were vegetarian, and didnt eat carbs. Or if you were totally addicted to pre-made takeout of the wealthy yuppie variety, which I myself have...
