While I am all-too familiar with the wonderful weekend Ferrias of Buenos Aires, I wasn't able to get all of my holiday shopping finished and am wondering if people have suggestions of other artesan markets that operate during the week. I am looking for relatively small, low-cost gifts to bring...

Hola! As the end of the year approaches, I'd love to make some (small) charitable contributions to outstanding organizations in Buenos Aires in appreciation for all that the city has provided for me during my time here, and would love advice about great charitable or nonprofit organizations (is...

I too am planning a trip North in the coming weeks to the Salta/Jujuy/Humahuaca area and would love any tips about tours to take or guides to use (ideally who speak some English as my Spanish is still quite limited), as I will not have a car, as well as any other recommendations about the best...

thanks to all for the advice about traveling to Tigre. I'd love insights about the most worthwhile things to once getting there, as well as whether it matters what day one chooses to go (weekend vs weekday, whether some weekdays are particularly dead/alive, etc) Thanks!

ah yes, a weekend lunch makes much more sense. Could Sunday, Nov 14th work instead (this coming Saturday is a bit iffy for me personally since I'll have friends in town, but not out of the question)? If not, let's plan something for Sat, Nov 13 at Bin Won, and we can then eat our way towards...

I've also recently arrived from NYC for a few months and enthusiastic to continue exploring interesting cuisine--and interesting comraderie--in BsAs (especially with a spicy, vegetarian bent), but unavailable for the event tonight. Might we plan a group lunch at Bi Won, which sounds fantastic...

thanks to every one for your advice on this front. My friends have decided that they're most interested in 2-3 days in Mendoza midweek, planning to take the overnight bus both ways. Which elicits a new set of questions: * do people have recommended places to stay, vineyards to see, other...

really appreciate all the thoughts you've shared here--super helpful!

I'd relish counsel about wonderful midweek trips from BsAs that are affordable (don't need to be super-cheap, but not prohibitively pricey either), doable in just a few days (extensive bus travel may be too much in a short time), and that provide an interesting contrast to Buenos Aires. The...
