Are we still discussing if Brazil will save Argentina?

Hello, Mr. Cortazar (Johnny)! U r absolutely right saying that nobody in N. Orleans grew the extra toes after drinking the tap water over there. ;) I guess I should have clarified that I have a problem with the taste of the tap water in New Orleans. I probably have too many taste buds on my...

canut, with the commitments in the US and Argentina it's hard for me to choose between these two right now. The Germany looks recently like a safest place from the economic point of view and Berlin sounds like a good spot for the international globetrotters, but I've never personally checked...

Going back to subway escalators always(?) going down in BsAs. Just try to find an escalator going up whole two levels after exiting B,D,F or M train on Herald Square in New York City. We might have to put the NYC in the same category as BsAs, brothers;)

I agree with previous posters - too much cream cheese and too much sugar in sushi in general. For little more authentic experience try (Comedor) Nikkai (Asociación Japonesa en Argentina) in San Telmo on Av Independencia 732 of Chacabuco, phone 4300-5848, hours 12-15 and 20-?, closed on Sundays...

Krakow in San Telmo has Antares Pale Ale 2x24 during Happy Hour. They also have Gambrinus Pale Ale 2x27 HH. I actually think the Gambrinus is the better one of the two!:)

I am not a sweet tooth person but I do enjoy a bit of bitter chocolate after a steak dinner with some red wine. However I still remember a DDL mousse I had a few years ago on AA flight from BsAs after their standard beef supper. Besides everything, the portion was just right- the airline sampler...

What about that: chihuahua's barking won't stop the camel but might get that chihuahua reelected by other chihuahuas.

We will be watching the Super Bowl 2011 on large projection screen in Buenos Aires Bar Krakow on Venezuela 474 (betw Defensa and Bolivar) in San Telmo/Monserrat area.The bar is big and there are some comfy sofas to book if u come in early. Large range of taps, cocktails, hard liquors and food...

You like the tomatoes because you probably purchased the organic ones. There is a lot of organic produce available with no surcharge in small produce stands besides tomatoes. How do you know the produce is organic if it is not labeled so? The items in the lot are not the same size, that's...

General rules: book 8 - 9 weeks in advance, on Tuesday around noon, travel on Tuesdays, travel in March, late October, first half of November - these are off-season months but weather in BsAs is comfortable. Good luck!!

Three Musketeers candy, Gummy Bears candy (you can barter a lot for those), tabasco sauce, dried shiitake mushrooms (very expensive in local China town), cheddar cheese, plastic foil, ziplock bags, bathroom air fresheners, Polish vodkas....

Inexpensive family owned Nonna Bianca in San Telmo on Estados Unidos 425 (betw Defensa and Bolivar) is my favorite ice-cream spot. Their specialty is homemade Italian-style gelato. There is about 80 flavors on offer, some of them quite exotic like kumquats soaked in whiskey! They are open every...

Spacious Krakow Bar in San Telmo on Venezuela 474 (betw Defensa and Bolivar) is my favorite spot on weekdays. A plus - about twelve taps and Nintendo Wii if you need a break. Too packed on weekends though.

Didn't have a pizza over there and would not be brave enough to order. Their specialty is definitely everything what comes from the grill, so order that. And keep your eyes on your wallet. I had a little mishap over there.

Well, I've been in BA for a while but never even got close to these places. I am shaken by misery of these people and huge contrast between them and flamboyant portenos. Is'nt unregulated immigration part of a problem here?
