This photo was taken in the courtyard of Manzana de las Luces, an historical landmark in Buenos Aires. This is quite different than most of the historical architecture you see in the city. I took this photo because I really liked the natural light coming in from the courtyard on the left and the lines […]
My First Argentine Asado
During my first four months in Buenos Aires, I never received an invite to an asado. There are probably two reasons for this: You need to actually be friends with Argentines AND those Argentines they need to have a parrilla (aka grill). It got cold, and Portenos hibernate during late Fall and Winter. I was […]
Steak Extravaganza: Restaurant Review – La Cabrera
I told you about my experience at the medium-end steak restaurants and the cheap steak restaurants. I saved the best for last. If you come to Buenos Aires, you MUST splurge on a good steak. But the great thing is that a splurge here is nowhere near what a good steak dinner would cost you in […]
Foto of the Week from … Buenos Aires
When people say that Buenos Aires looks like Europe, this is what they are talking about. This is the Standard Bank building downtown on Florida near the Catedral Subte D stop. Check out previous Fotos of the Week!
Steak Extravaganza: Restaurant Review – Cervantes II vs Club Eros
I told you about my experience at the medium-end steak restaurants. Next I tried the lower-end “locals” establishments. How low you can go and still get a good steak in Buenos Aires? Cervantes II Chance from BA LOCAL introduced me to this place. We were starving and wanted something fast, cheap, and filling. Cervantes is one […]
Steak Extravaganza: Restaurant Review – El Obrero vs El Trapiche vs Manolo’s
One thing that is really great about Buenos Aires, is that you can get excellent steak for a cheap price. Everything else may be expensive, but a steak dinner is going to cost you much less than in the US. Since I am traveling on a budget, I do not eat out at restaurants very […]
Foto of the Week from …. Buenos Aires
I took this photo in Plaza de Mayo. This is a busy area with lots of symbols of Buenos Aires. I looked for a unique angle to capture some of the symbols. The focus is on the white shawl painted on the ground, which symbolizes the Mothers of Plaza de Mayo. These white shawls are […]
My Biggest Fear: Dental Work in the Third World
I am not one to publicize the things that scare me about traveling alone in Latin America, mainly because I don’t want to give my parents more things to worry about or discourage others from doing what I am doing. Since I got the whole getting robbed thing out of the way the first day […]
Buena Birra in Buenos Aires
I have complained about the lack of good handcrafted beers in Latin America. I thought I would find a better selection when I got to Buenos Aires, but I was disappointed by my initial attempts to find good beer here. When I went home to Columbus, Ohio for a visit, I made it a point […]
Foto of the Week from …. Buenos Aires
This is a simple photo, but for some reason, I was really drawn to this building. I was in Chacarita on a rooftop terrace enjoying a birthday party. Chacarita is a quiet, residential neighborhood. This building across the street stood out because it was the only tall building around. The white exterior contrasted nicely with […]
