Few Questions

[Mahara]

Thank you all for your help and warm welcoming.

Grill on Santa Fe sounds great (whatever it is ;-)

Let us know once you are back and have a great trip!

Lucas, I still prefer hot and humid than snow and wind (not the case with my hubby though)

We'll be in touch next week. Back on Tuesday.

Lucas and Hache your comments are funny and that always helps!

Glad to help in a funny way!!! BTW, I didn't mean you have to bring your washing machine and refrigerator from your country, we sell those things here!

Hi there,
Sad to admit but the quality of my life improved here with the opening of a French bakery 3 blocks from my house. It is called Franks (he is from Breton) and it is on the corner of Franklyn and Ambrosetti.

fifs2 you are soooo right

It was worth the trip (it took us 45 min. from San Telmo, where we live) and i don't think that we'll travel there on daily bases, but we enjoyed very much croissant, pain de queso, baguette and apple pie ;-)

Hache:

"What's your idea of a good bakery? Please be more specific."

You asked for it ;-)

Here is a chain in Canada:

and here is the one in US:

(12 years ago when we moved to States, there was no good bread to buy anywhere in NYC area or three-state area better said! Then only a few years ago some nice bakeries started opening up and the result is - some of the best bakeries in the world.

It was very difficult for us as we moved from Montreal (gourmet capital of the Americas in my humble opinion).

I hope this answers your question ;-)

Going back to the beginning of this thread, I strongly recommend "La Casa de Oshawa*, on Ciudad de la Paz 200, for soy milk, its made fresh every single morning. Ades has a lot of other ingredients, it is not pure soy milk. I used to do the macrobiotic diet and I there I got the recommendation of "la Casa de Oshawa*.

I love "Santa Paula" bakery, located half a block from the corner of Cabello street and Avenida Scalabrini Ortiz, in Palermo. It is not french, but everything is delicious.

Thank you Roxana , we'll definitely check both out!

"Santa Paula" is on what street exactly?

Nesika, I am sorry, Panaderia Santa Paula (bakery) is located on Avenida Scalabrini Ortiz. It is close to Plaza Italia.

Hi - tried to post a pm but not available. If anyone wants to go out for coffee/dinner with a couple of "older" nomads who have been on the road for around 2 1/2 years, let us know and we will set something up.

Hola Mahara,

It's nice to have you back. I hope that you had a wonderful trip.

I think it would be a great to start a new topic for gray-head nomads who would like to meet (something like Roxana did for young girls). That way more people will have a chance to see it.

In any case count us in

I hope this answers your question ;-)

It certainly does!

I know Vivace and La Argentina. They are very good IMO. I can't guarantee they can compete with the places you posted but I believe you won't be disappointed.
