    Is there a way to get a DNI faster?

    Try Celano y Asociados: http://celano.com.ar/ They just have contact info on their page and they are very busy but It seems to be because they are good. They can get your DNI in 40 days. I don't know the price.

    Banking for ex-pats

Usually it takes...

    "Closed Door" Restaurants

    I've never been to Casa Felix but I continue to hear only great things. I have been to A little Saigon, mentioned in the originality post.
