I guess I am just not a VIP....
I have been going to see live bands since 1967, and I havent ever paid the equivalent of 1000 pesos to see any band, anywhere. But then, I have less than zero interest in seeing Robbie whatever his name is, or Madonna.
Anyway, you havent been in the USA for a while if you think fast food is cheap here.
I just bought, an hour ago, some pizza bread for my teenager- 8 bucks, plus 2 bucks for a drink. Thats ten. That was at a no name local place, Subway, Quiznos and the like are more.
Buenos Aires is still cheaper than the USA.
personally, I find Casa Felix to be equivalent to many $100 US per person meals I have had, and its $100 pesos per person, including 4 different wines.
I ate at Osaka on my birthday, in May, and barely broke $100 pesos.
Proof?
what, you want receipts?
What are you, the restaurant detective?
I eat at small neighborhood restaurants all the time, in non-trendy neighborhoods, for a lot less than $100 pesos. Often, price fixed for $20 pesos or so.
I'd take you along, but your attitude online suggests you wouldnt be much fun.
At a place like Vicente, in Coughlin, my wife and I might order one meat dish, one pasta, and maybe a proveleta, each eat half, and the food would be $60 pesos or so, for more than the two of us can eat.
Same thing at some of my other favorite neighborhood places- Rodi Bar in Recoleta, or Martita's in Boedo, Parilla Pena in the Microcento, or Ale Ale in Villa Crespo.
And, of course, if you just eat pizza and a salad, its a lot cheaper than that.
I have no doubt you can spend as much as you want, in any city in the world, and still complain- I eat really well in Tokyo for under $50 US for great meals, and heard stories of those $1000 dinners.
In Buenos Aires, you COULD spend a fortune on food, but why? When there are so many good restaurants that are quite reasonable?
