I went to the buffet at restaurant tenedor next to plaza italia. I was solo in my trip so taht's why I didn't go out to all the nice restaurants. I did try to go to the restaurants I mentioned earlier, but yes they needed reservations way in advance. That's why I mostly stuck to the empanadas...

Ahh ok I see. I was only able to try the steak at buffets. I tried to go to the fancier restaurants like Don Julio or Don Benito, but you need a reservation and they were fully booked for the weekend. Likewise with the Pizza I mostly ate it at bars or buffets. I lived in NYC for some time so...

I am also curious - Are the other cities in Argentina very different than BA? Or just a smaller version of BA? I am thinking of cities like La plata, Mendoza, Tucuman, and Bahia Blanca,

very affordable, but a little dangerous and stressful at times. On Tuesday with the protests the whole city was shut down. The breakfast options were pretty limited too. I was expecting something like eggs, bacon, and toast or potatos - similar to what you see in the U.S. but in Argentina it...

Yes most of the tours I had were very bad, except for the Boca/Recocleta tour. Maybe they set a high bar I am not sure. Regarding the local Argentinian food, I really enjoyed the empanadas the most. There are empanada restaurants in USA and they are pretty close in quality, but the variety of...

Hello everyone, Thank you for all your advice. It really helped me out a lot during my time here in Buenos Aires. What I will provide below is what I did during my main vacation here and my thoughts. Before I took my vacation, I primarily just worked remote in my Palermo airbnb and didn't go...

I have finished my two weeks in BA and will leave today. Maybe I can createa new thread to summarize everything I did and my thoughts. I have a lot to share, especially after all the protests today. Traffic was intense.

That's what I thought but I guess they want to watch Penarol clobber a Venezuelan team 5-0. I was in pocitos too, which is like their Palermo or Recoleta. By the way do you have any recommendations for which ATMs to use to withdraw Argentinian pesos? I just looked at my stack of pesos and I...

They just show european and argentinian soccer matches there? or if you have a request and they have the channel, they will change the TV? I was in Montevideo when Messi was playing and I asked the bartenders to change the channel but they said no. They wanted to watch their local team...

Yes I know now and I won't be attending anymore

I talked to a tour guide and he told me this game is actually taking place far away from Buenos Aires. I won't be going to this.

I see. Thanks. Yea I will look for a tour this Sunday. I thought Colonia was a UNESCO heritage site. Is it really that boring? The only UNESCO heritage sites I have been to were in Greece and Italy and they were pretty cool.

I also just saw that river is playing boca this Sunday.. I know there are a lot of fights and violence there. ou think its worth going or trying to get tickets to go solo?

Alirght so I would like to share my itinerary for tours and trips with everyone here to get your thoughts before I return to the U.S. Anything else I should add? Day 1 - Tours in La Boca and Recoleta Cemetary from the morning to the evening then bars at night Day 2 - Rent a bicycle and ride...

Thanks
