200 pesos - 1.5 hours.

Session OK.

Was in a hurry towards the end to service another guy who had promised $100 for 1 hr at Exedra.

Mongers,

I got the "official" word from two certified Exedra hookers who also frequent El Alamo. They said that at the end of February, Cafe Exedra will close for one month for "renovations". After that, they do not know the fate of Cafe Exedra, so what will happen after that monthlong closure is anybody's guess.

Suerte,

I heard the same thing today as far as it closing at the end of Feb. And re-opening in a month, from a fairly reliable source, but who warned me that his source was only "fairly reliable" as well.

I further heard that there will be chicas there when it reopens, he mentioned as a cafeteria (but I'm not sure how different that is from what it is already, really) but the chicas will be required to pay a fee to park themselves (I think he mentioned a nightly fee) and will be allowed "by invite" only.

Should be interesting if that is the case. First thought is that it will probably drive the price up somewhat. But I also wonder how they will enforce requiring the chicas to pay. At first surely they will try, but will chicas end up flooding the place and things just end up returning to normal eventually.

And does this mean that Murta (whatever her name is! Has a place as the new ruler of chicas? Heh.

I got two "official" versions. One says that it will become a pizza parlour and the other that it will become a Rond Point type place.

I can assure you that neither the girls nor the waiters have a clue - only guessing and wishful thinking.

I don't expect we will see much of a change - a little in the décor - even the name Exedra will stay. Maybe at first they will limit the amount of girls but slowly it will go back to normal.

Mirta will never return. She never reigned over the girls and she was tolerated by the old owner because of her connections with the police.

Apparently Exedra management let the staff know today that this Friday is the last day. Beyond that nobody really knows how long they will be closed. Arnaldo is going to work at a restaurant at the corner of Esmeralda and Viamonte.

Mongers take note,

There is a middle aged (38 +) blond Brazilian woman at Excedra. Wears a bright blond pony tail or hair piled on top.

Sometimes wears a brown Janet Jackson hat.

She is really tan and always wears sleeveless dresses. Speaks really good english and has charm, carefull.

She has a stern look and wears very nice dresses. Black or white are her usual colors,
Never wears pants to cover her very tan stout legs. She is a bit thick but muscular. She hangs with other Brazilian blonds who are significantly younger and prettier.

Took her out for 165p and had a gfe as we walked to my apt 6 blocks away.

In apt, still on gfe. All changed in the bed.

No kissing. No finger diddle, and no DATY. She sucked and jerked my unit.

To the point of pain where I was ready to apply a soft whack to stop the abuse. After some convincing, she got on top and gave me an agressive grinding to finish.

Got a real vibe of sadism from this c*nt. We washed and nothing was stolen.

So that was a blessing. Shuffled her out the door and found where I made my mistake.

1. Did not discuss kissing, finger foreplay, DATY, cola, likes and dislikes.

She spoke english well so we jabbered on with my little head doing the thinking and not the monger shopper.

2. Paid before. BAD X 1,000,000 No recourse for bad performance.

Pure little head thinking.

3. Accepted too much physical domination and should have physically
countered her aggression. Never encountered this behavior before.

So take heed from my confession ASK and TELL what you want BEFORE.

You leave the table. If necessary, ask a fellow monger to help in the negotiation.

And, NEVER pay before. Make the payment timing discussion at the table.

Avoid this woman.

It all may be a moot point as E closes. She will be at Newport for sure.

Hope this saves somebody.

Just come over to my place for dinner and we can hand select our dinner guests! Many of the best have come over and are interested in hanging out,

I realize that this subjct has been discussed but here we are again.

It would not be the same but it would be better than nothing. I think?

At least until X opens up again!

Take care,

Ramiro.

PS - Please stop by my birthday party on Sat. Night after 12:30 if you guys are in the hood! Free drinks and there should be some girls like always.

Ok, so if I am in BA from the 11th to the 18th, where does everyone meet up so to speek? If X is closed there is nothing to do until Newports gets buzy at 1AM. Am I right?

I do get a sense that the owners / new owners want to get a piece of the action with the girls which they were not getting in the past. Sounds like they may just be shooting themselves in the foot! That's just my opinion. They had all of the guys coming there and spending thier money there for years. If worse case scenario they do limit the amount of girls and the girls have to pay a nightly fee then I see the prices going up and the selection going down. If the regular girls need to pay a fee every day they will go away.

So again during this transition time in March where wil everyone be meeting up?

Also I am reading more about casitas / Palermo area more. Is that now getting to be a viable alternative to the Micro Center and recoletta?

They even dug up the bush in the large concrete planter! A nice night save for the intrusion of some asshole canadian who was intent on looking for trouble. Not that all canadians are assholes, far from it, but this guy was a shining example of asshole.

I passed by Exedra today. They have metal gates on the doors all chained and padlocked, crates of soda bottles are piled up behind the door so you can't see in, that's the story! Exedra is closed.

Man, I am sorry I wasn't there and drunk when the Canadian guy was the other night! Could have closed Exedra with some fireworks!

Question: where to next?

For sitting outside and just hanging around after dinner and before the clubs I suggest Madelein (across the road to Exedra) or maybe "My House" (the restaurant - not where I live) on Cordoba just before Florida (open 24 hours and a good place for a meal if it's too late to go to Ramiro's) and also with protected outside tables. That's for the mongers not wanting to move too far from the triangle.

Exedra probably won't be closed for too long and when the mongers return so will the girls and the owners won't dare Chase them all away when they the see hoards of wild eyed gringos occupying the place, waving inflated rubbers, chanting chica names and thumping on the tables.

Hey we could even get organized and form a movement! Something like Mongers for Chicas in Exedra - Any suggestions? No, Exon, Motherfuckers for Free Handjobs at Exedra wouldn't do!:)

From what I have seen from other situations like this, when a type of club closes that everyone frequents, people scatter to the four winds. Things are never as they were due to many things and logistics.

But if some of the VERY senior members that are there in BA now can converse and agree on a place Very close and similar to X's that also would want to accept that business that X's has left scattered. Even though I like Alliance, I do not feel it is the answer to replace X's. Maybe I am being to much of a purist and still want the large outside cafe feel to it. But I also feel that a location of a cafe that is far inside the MC area may not be that best either. X's was better for me due to accessablity either from the MC area and the REC area, via taxi of course. But essentially, the location along that main BLVD just outside of MC was really choice! Maybe that cafe accross the street from X's would be good, but isn't it somewhat small? Compared to X's.

Opinions?

I believe that you are talking about La Madelaine which is accross the street from X.

Very few tables and the establishment tends to remove the girls that are obviously working or are very agressive.

Anyway, tonight a few of the girls came by my place and one of the old cats from X actually picked up one of my clients. That is her third client in about 8 days. And she is awful!

I need to have a talk with her soon.

Let's see what happens with X.

Take It!

The latest that I have heard is that the dead owner's son kept 51% of X for himself.

That's excellent if he actually sold it for 3.5 green ones!

I looked inside today and the cheap mf removed the plasma and the cheap 29 inch tv!

For 3.5 I would expect the guy to throw in the kitchen sink!

Wait and see what happens guys.

The girls will return if it is open.

Orleans is charging the girls 80 pesos to grab a table from 6 P. M until 2 A. M!

They will try to pass that cost on to you without a doubt!

La Madelaine is full. No tables available.

How about Iberia?

That is where the X girls should hang out.

Nice corner, recently restored, sidewalk cafe.

About 7 blocks away on Ave. De Mayo and Salta. (same as Libertad.)

They will have to lower their asking price by a hun or so to do business there.

I stole the best girl out of there over a year ago and the second best was caught with 4 keys at the airport!

Deborah. Hot little jailbird she is!

TLI think what was already assumed from another post is that if X's reopens they will be charging the ladies to be there and will pick the ones that will be able to. So yes the ladies will come back (some of them) and the prices will go up and be similar to Orleans. Good thing for Orleans! Level playing field.

Iberia as you say may be similar to X's but it is actually (by map) 11-12 blocks away from X's outside of the mongers main traffic area (IMHO) That's not exactly god news too many guys that wish to walk to most of thier destinations in MicroCenter. We would be supporting the taxi service a lot more with that location. You think the ladies will lower thier prices to work there. I think they would rather work elsewhere that they can get the prices they wish. I did not say deserve, but the prices that they are used to from X's. From many of the posts in the past in here, some do and some do not (YOMV)

Most of the security in Argentina is using low security locks, so more likely he's just protecting his ass, or took them out as his own property.

RustyjonesActually I think Café Iberia is a good meeting place, and if the chicas show up all the better. Most of the chicas that worked at Exedra were asking more than they were worth and looking for that one big score; if they lower the price and go work at Café Iberia they may actually make some money. The last time I was in BsAs I spent some time at Café Iberia with some very experienced BsAs mongers and the general consciences was the place was ok and the prices are much less than Exedra. If you ’re really concerned about 11 to 12 blocks and the taxi cost, may I suggest the "colectivo" I think it cost a peso or less now.

Maidelaines (sp) is too small and there aint much else. And if you can't find your way from the Triangle area or Exedra-shame on you. Cab, colectivo or hoof it.

From what I can see there is a whole lot of nothing going on renovation wise at Exedra. Not a good sign.

Still feel that since the ladies have been living it up at X's it would be very difficult to go back to making half or 2/3's of what they are used to. I think the opposite would be true that the prices at Iberia would increase. Remember that in essence you are discussing moving the "escort business" that X's had to Iberia. That's just geography nothing more.

If Exedra changes to a Orleans style pay for play system, I'm sure that many serious mongers will just take a pass on it. Honestly, getting a decent chica for even 150p has been tough there of late.

I'm hoping that my 5 weeks in BA later this month will give me lots of time to explore new places. No park cruising with Mo, though.:)

Rustyjones Supply and Demand are you kidding? There is more working pussy in BsAs than you can shake a stick at; the Big E was just the tip of the iceberg! A large number of these chica were not making a living at Exedra, as I said before they were just hoping for a big score from some dumb Yankee! The ones that are able to move on to big clubs will, but most will go back to just fucking locals, which how they make there “living ”. You need to remember not every club or café will let the in.

BTW the colectivo system in BsAs is pretty good and lots of the mongers on this board ride it, I ’ve been on it several times myself.

They are exceptionally cheap at 90 centavos, often less hassle than the subte, I've never been bothered by anyone and they get you where you are going. As far as the geography between Exedra and Iberia, it's only a matter of blocks! Plus, you can have a nice meal at the old spanish restaurant across the street from Iberia (the name escapes me at the moment-thay also have outdoor tables) As I have said before, there is no good replacement for Exedra, but Iberia will probably be the closest thing you can find. And that said, it may suck.:)

The ones that are able to move on to big clubs will, but most will go back to just fucking locals, which how they make there "living ". You need to remember not every club or café will let the in. So you are saying that if lets say one of Madaho's, Black's or Newports would close down and a new place would be opened up a few blocks away with all of the same ladies and the same types of men frequenting the new place that were in the old place the prices would go down just due to the fact that it is no longer at that original location? Maybe that's too simplistic of a way to comment but I think that is what is being said.

Not that I wold put X's on the same level of the three places above but we all know it was a very well known place just like the three above for meeting chicas.

Due to "only a few blocks difference" and if most of the AP and other mongers start to hang out there, the ladies will get the hint. Many of the ladies that were at X's will start to hangout at the new place. Word will spread quickly I think. At that pont you have only changed the venue and the same games that existed at X's will exist at the new place.

Now I would agree with you if it would only be a very few of the AP or mongering crowd and a few of the ladies. Then the very few of the new ladies would have to compete with the original ladies at the new place.

I think though if the new place sees a large influx of guys to meet ladies on a normal basis as a replacement to X's, things will change at the new place.

Oh and Punter you taught me well on my first visit about the goings on. So I know I am not one of those people you mentioned.

Rustyjones What I'm saying is Café Iberia does not have the size or the location of Exedra and I don't think it will ever be an Exedra, but it would be a good meeting place. As far all your other what ifs, I think you're just beating a dead mule. Have you ever even been to Café Iberia?

RustyjonesRusty,

You seem hell-bent on proving that the same pricing structure will follow the girls to Iberia. I agree with you, you can prove this to be the case - by walking into Iberia with the normally allocated 200-300p in your hand and telling the first girl you meet that you are giving her 200-300p for her services. See you were right (and Punter was an idiot for thinking otherwise)

Here is the point: you are the demand, and the girls are the supply. They have virtually no control over the supply, other than limiting the number of newly issued union cards. But you have complete control over your personal demand. If you guys walk into Iberia with the mindset that you will not be paying Exedra prices due to the distance, the color of the walls, or whatever - and prove this by leaving empty handed on more than one occasion, then things will change (or you will have to find a another location with your price-point)

A year ago Iberia was about 80-100p for a very average girl. I do not have recent data. The beauty of BsAs and Argentina is that there is something for everyone - 20p to 2000p. Your money, your dick, be happy!

However, to say that the pricing structure can not be changed is nonsense. Ask any Argentine about lifestyle changes around January 2002. Argentines have proven they can endure hardships, the question remains what has been learned from them.

Guess I will have to head over to Iberia tonight, to prove or disprove my assertions.

I have my theory of BA. In a nut shell it's this -

Sta Fe Avenue - Rich girls that don't have to look good because they are going to marry rich husbands whatever happens. Sloppily dressed and don't give a flying fuck!

Cordoba Avenue - middle class girls working in offices hoping to find a wealthy husband so they dress and produce themselves accordingly - Hot!

Corrientes Avenue - Every girl from the provinces has to have her photo taken on Corrientes with the Obelisco in the back ground to send home to prove she is really in BA. Pathetic!

Avda de Mayo - Sensible girls working as secretaries in legal buffets. Comfortable flat heeled shoes and drab coloured clothes. Most already married to highschool boy friends now plumbers or carpenters or bus drivers. Middle class Wives!

Go a little more South, San Juan or Garay avenues and you'll get fucked for 40 pesos. But don't expect more than ten or twenty minutes from a girl. Don't even mention TLN as her clients barely have ten minutes to fuck before catching the train home and she couldn't even dream of spending a whole night with a client at whatever price. Hey, some of them could look as hot as any Cordoba Av. Girl but they have that beaten down attitude that I call "toothless fucks"

I love Avda de Mayo, and no matter where the girls come from, Exedra, Black or wherever, the pricing will be according to the location. An invasion of gringo mongers may vary a little the pricing but the girls on Avda de Mayo expect to get plumbers and bus drivers as customers and price accordingly.

And Iberia is a good place for the Avda de Mayo experience with quite a few decent priced restaurants around but don't expect much English spoken in the area.

By law in Argentina, they have to get a payment based on how long they worked at Exedra. Some of the waiters have worked there close to 20 years, so it's a few years pay.

She said that the son of the owner who died, owed allot of money, and took the money from the sale, to pay it off. The waiters are going to take the place to court, unless they get their money, which would delay it's re-opening. She also said she has not seen any renovations being done, it looks the same. I have not been there since they closed, so I have no idea.

From what I understand, it is usually 3-4 months notice pay plus 1 months pay for every year worked. So with an employee who has been working for 20 years, you are looking at about 23-24 months in severance pay. The workers will get the money eventually. It just seems like the owner is an asshole and an idiot.

BM.I agree - the owner is an asshole but he's no idiot! He'll end up paying the workers in monthly instalments where he'll "forget" to pay every two or three months and the worker has to get a court order "reminding" him to pay or even worse, he'll file for bankruptcy and never pay anything again. (opening his next business in his wife's name etc)

I said this would happen some months ago.

Regards,

BM.I've worked in both France and Argentina (I am from the US) The labor laws here are much more like the US than France.

The only real difference I see between Argentina and the US is that they are required by law to pay severence, but the severance you receive is very similar to what you would receive in the US (being layed off from a white color job, for example).

But like many things here, what the law says and what actually happens aren't always the same thing.

In France, depending how long you have been with a company, it is typical to get a year's severance. I know people who have gotten over 2. Also, in France, there are laws that prevent companies from laying people off without sufficient reason (keeping the stock price up generally isn't considered sufficient reason).

El Aleman
03-22-08, 17:23
Yes. But closing the business is sufficient reason, one of the very few ones, even in Europe (France and Germany are not so far apart, France might be even worse)

We had a big scandal a few months ago, Nokia closed a factory in Bochum. The place was highly profitable, and it's opening a few years earlier subsidized by government money. 2600 people on the streets. It's cheaper to build them fuckíng cell phones in Romania.

But what I can't understand is why shut down a perfectly good, profitable business and do nothing with it for almost a month now.

What I'm trying to say is why not keep it running until the very last minute. If renovations are going to be made and a new business plan put in place why not wait until everything is ready, then shut it down.

Counting the girls, the street erchen's, (Flower girls and the like) waiters, bartenders, kitchen people and so on, almost a 100 people have been displaced. Plus a months revenue, which is not "chump change" by the way.

Nothing seems to add up, so there must be some story we'll never know thats forced this change of events.

This is the best I can do. Aqualung, anybody else, please correct me where I'm wrong! There's a couple of things I couldn't figure out!

A Temple of Chicas and Night Owls Has Closed.

Severo Pereyra died of a heart attack November 6, 2006, completing 32 years of being in charge of Exedra, the classic confiteria on the corner of Carlos Pelligrini and Cordoba, known as "the bar with the most famous putas of the Capital Federal." Since then, the 22 waiters and more than 40 prostitutes that filled the tables endured a long agonizing wait that ended March 1, when the place changed owners, following a deal made by Rafael Rereira Aragón, owner of Rond Point, Las Violetas and the Café de los Angelitos. The price was 1.3 million dollars and the place is now closed for rennovations. It's a bummer (sorry, that's the only word I can up with for bajón! For us, complained Vanina, a 35 year old prostitute who had worked "for years" in the bar. Seated at a table of a bar nearby, she looked sadly at the facade of Exedra and wondered when it would reopen.

At its table appeared politicians, sindicalistas (my dictionary says trade unionists) Writers, actors, celebrities, murderers, rogues, lawyers and generations of prostitutes and unfaithful men. "The Exedra girls were legendary" said Manolo, ex-partner and right hand man of the deceased Pereyra." It is best known as a home for putas, put one to which putas came for 34 years. The difference isn't small. We never had girls working for us, but we always tried to have the most interesting for a very interesting clientele." According to waiters and customers, 16 generations of putas have passed through Exedra. "We've encountered girls who were in their 20's back in the 70's and now are grandmothers," said Manolo.

Para los códigos de la calle: For the codes of the street? Exedra was an institution. With 98 tables available 24 hours a day, it opened for business November 5, 1974 and closed only one day in 34 years. In its best times, it served five thousand people a day. (Cinco mil, that's what it says! In the month before it closed, there were 1,500 people a day, a drop off of 30% with respect to 2007. (I think that's more or less the idea!

At the end of 1974 it was one of the first places that Carlos Menem hung out in after he became governor of La Rioja. Jorge Luis Borges and Mar[ia Kodama were also regulars. Also found at its tables were the writers Ernesto Sábato and Silvina Bullrich, the tango singer Edmundo Rivero and Javier Portales came to have a drink after dining at Edelweiss with Alberto Olmedo.

A large number of soccer players could be found leaning on the bar. Old employees remember César Luis Menotti, Carlos Salvador Bilardo, Carlos Bianchi, Beto Márcico and the ex-referees Javier Castrilli and Guillermo Nimo.

"It's better to ask who didn't come to Exedra," answered Manolo when asked to reconstruct a list of the clientele. "We were the first to open up downtown. In the beginning we didn't have any competition. Then you could park in the middle of 9 de Julio. There was only Rond Point and Café Tabak, that always maintained their level," remembered Manolo. Between '74 and '75 the bar also had customers like Marcos Osatinsky and Robert Quieto, two founders and directors of Montoneros that held large meetings there.

In its first years, the bar didn't have the usual bar tables. It was full of "exedras," sillones semicirculares (semicircular chairs, barstools? Like they had in bars in Las Vegas. From that came the name of the bar: in ancient Rome that was what they called curved semicolumnas with seats to converse in the open air. "After the military coup, Exedra was like Casablanca, on one side the repressers and on the other the guerrillas," recalled Manolo. "Also during those years many special forces came in and drank whiskey and we asked them tolets us keep the firearms (fierros) behind the bar."

With the return of democracy, the sindicalistas returned. They had made a wage agreement and celebrated with drinks and girls for all, for about 500 to 700 dollars. The waiters remebered that the ex secretary general of the CGT, Saúl Ubaldini had been a regular (iba seguido)

The secrecy and discretion were the conditions that allowed Exedra to function for so many years. Maybe for that various criminals were able to sit at the tables with such impunity. "Even though it was open to the public, it was also a place of trampa (trampa. Shady dealings, more or less) It was a unique place: there was always one place where a family was eating dinner alongside a chica talking with a client." said Manolo.

After the economic crisis of 2001 it was on the point of closing, but the devaluation of the peso meant a new commercial opportunity, although the last years were marked by the diminishing popularity of that part of the city. On March 1st the curtain came down. "I hope that everything inside doesn't end up in a dumpster," said Manolo with a worried voice. Many pass by at night on the corner to find out when the place will reopen. "But it seems that we're running out of time (Pero parece que falta tiempo)" said the old owners (antiguos dueńos) For them, the chicas and the former waiters, "Exedra won't ever be the same" why sus secretos quedarán guardados para siempre.

Thank You Rockin Bob, great post.

But it still doesn't answer my question "WHY"

One thing the owners son must be a piece of shit. And the new owners must have shit for brains, why close it down before your ready for renovations, look at all the cash flow the've lost.

One thing is starting to make sense, why Mirta, (Hilda) left. She told me she'd worked the door at Excedra for over 20 years, then suddenly left. Now we know the reason. The CockSucker son of the former owner drive her out of their.

Again great post of the history.

Here's the translation of the sidebar, Refugio de varias generaciones de represores.

*****************************************************************

Refuge of Various Generations of Oppressors.

From the beginning Exedra was an unavoidable stop of porteńa nightlife. Perhaps that's why the spies of SIDE classified the corner as "level 10." "It meant it was off-limits. Why? I don't know, but one of them told me that," said Manolo, alluding to one of the customers of the bar. This group of clients was headed by general Carlso Albert Martínez, chief of SIDE in the time of Videla. Exedra is located at Córdoba 999 and at the same time that the bar opened its doors, the private security firm Magister began operations on the sixth floor of 991: a lair created by military intelligence before the miltary coup, out of which operated a task force set up by general Paladino. The gang was commanded by the torturer Aníbal Gordon along with Eduardo Alfredo Ruffo, José Miguel Save, and el Indio Castillo, among others. During the day, at one of the tables that faced Córdoba, with the return of democracy, the presence of Gordon changed to that of his persuer: the deceased Guillermo Patricio Kelly, who sat in the same place since 1985 trying to capture him.

In the 90', the heaviness (la pesada) didn't leave the place. The offices of Alfredo Yabrán were two blocks away from the bar for twenty years, and one of the customers was the retired commander Adolfo Donda Tigel, aka "Jerónimo" or "Palito," who as chief of intelligence oversaw the taskforce of ESMA (Escuela de Mecánica de la Armada) and in those years was the key man in the private security agency Brides (brigadas de la ESMA) one of the business run by the emresario telepostal who died by suicide, alone and abandoned (referring to Yabrán)

I'm quite aware of prosperess business that have been shut down for no apparent reason. Restaruant row in Recoleta a prime example. The owners of those building will never recover the lost revenue and the place is still a shambles.

But Exedra is another story. Thanks to Rocken Bob I now know a little of its history, what a famious place, "The Temple of Cats". What a story of a remarkable place all of us enjoyed.

Not knowing the financial structure, the overhead, rent, ect, ect the price of $1,300,000 seams cheap. They were charging an arm & a leg and the place was always full 24/7. Theres got to be a reason the old mans son sold, thats what I'm driving at --- WHY?

Mongers-

I hate to piss on everyone's Exedra love parade here, but the bottom line here is that Exedra was probably not nearly as profitable a business venture as one might think. First of all, just how much money do you think is being made off a group of 5 guys, drinking one 10 peso coffee each, sitting there for 3-4 hours? Not much! In addition, the article said they had 22 waiters, which probably means they had at least 6-10 kitchen / cleaning staff. So we are talking minimum 30 employees, which is ridiculous from an owners standpoint, that is minimum $100,000 AR per month of payroll expenses. In a bar business (where margins are much larger than cafe business) you need to have at least $2000 AR per week in sales per employee to break even. On top of all this, you have 21% IVA, 3% ingresos brutos, and impuestos ganancias (they definitely payed the first two, but maybe not the latter) Naturally, you then have the "extra" expenses which go along with the operation of a prostitution rendezvous point, which could range into the thousands of pesos monthly. All these hefty fixed costs plus the nature of the low turnover, low margin sales scheme in place combined with declining gross sales led the owner to dump the place for $1.3 million USD, and from a business standpoint, you cannot really blame him.

Suerte,

Not withstanding the validity of your argument, but at 1,500 customers a day (per the article), at just $11 pesos each, then Exedra was a $500k peso per month business, against which a $100k payroll would appear reasonable.

Thanks,

Man, if I just inherited a restaurant that I could sell for 1.3 million bucks I'd have the For Sale sign up in a New York minute.Here's the difference.

Knowing the restaurant was worth a million bucks or so, I'd be much more interested in the cash flow, rather than the million in cash. This way "I'd have my cake and eat it too". I could always sell it if need be, but in the mean time I'd have a money machine and live "High off the Hog", plus a million bucks tucked away.

What most of the Mongers that post here don't realize is, "Money is not Important, Unless there's not enough of it". Thats when money becomes important, when you don't have enough of it. Until then its an insignificant tool we use to navigate threw life.

Sorry Dirk, I'm with Jackson below, Exedra made enough money to satisfy all my creature comforts, at least here in Buenos Aires. I mean any "Dumb MotherFucker" can spend money, that doesn't take any brains. If the numbers written below are true, your looking at 10 thousand dollars a month or so profit. How much can you spend before everyone starts looking at you as a "Stupid CockSucker". Moreover, what do you really need in Buenos Aires that would cost more that $10,000 dollars a month.

I'da kept the restaurant.

Your use of the word "Assuming" is the key to this deal.

We don't know the deal, we only know the price of the deal, a million, three, there are always deals with in deals.

Say for example, the owner that died owned Exedra out right and paid no rent. After 34 years thats a good possibility, frankly its more that likely he did given the stated price. If thats the case then a Million, Three is not out of the ball park. That being the case, $10,000 dollars a month is roughly a 10 precent return on invested capital. I can live with that all day everyday.

But were be-laboring the point. Its been my experience that Porteno's are not famious for over paying. If the new owner dropped down 1.3 million US he got more than a lease, don't you think. I mean would you drop that kind of money down just for the privledge of paying 10 to 20 thousand peso's a month in rent. Then close it down and not give a Fuck.

I'm saddend by the fact that it "IS" closed down and a real piece of Argentine history is gone forever and none of us can monger their again. It was the one place we could all monger on a relaxed basis and not get soked on drink prices. Plus I personally considered many of the employee's and girls that worked there friends.

100,000 pesos divided by 22 employes= about $1,500 USD per month, average per employe. Seems much too high for AR wages.Actually, accepting Dirk's number of 32 employees, which would include kitchen and cleaning staff, divided into 100k = $3,125 per employee per month. Subtracting out Argentina's 70% payroll burden yields an average salary of $1,840 per employee, which in today's inflationary environment appears reasonable. Hell, the encargado of my building gets paid $3,000 pesos a month.

Thanks,

Obviously we can't know the motivation behind the seller and as we all know, there are many different reasons for someone to sell a business.

Does the price include the real estate? Did they have title to the lot on the corner? I'm sorry - I haven't picked up on that yet. If so, then the business itself is getting a lower valuation than $1.3M, as I imagine the land price takes up a nice piece of the purchase price.

But then that leads on to the question of whether you'd sell property today in central Buenos Aires. This is probably a discussion for another thread, but I'd have to take a hard look at where I think property values are going.

Actually, the return is nearer 9%. I would never accept that low of a return. I would require 20+% return on my capital to own an AR business. Oh well, It's all assumptions anyway!If you can get 9 or 10% above inflation, it's not a bad investment. Inflation in Argentina is running about 20%. If he can raze prices every year by inflation, and keep a minimum of 9% profit on top of that, that not bad place to put your money. Plus it's not clear if he owns the space too, that value of the real estate should go up over time too. One of the best defenses against hyperinflation is property.

If someone did pay 1.3M for it, then maybe the name is changing. Maybe a Court order the sale, to pay off x employees. But it should open at some point if someone paid so much for it.

What I was told by Michel who is working out of Iberia now, that all the x employees have settled, except for one, who wants more money, and it will go to trial. She told me this about 2 or 3 weeks ago. Also said the new owner was going to control, which girls work there and which can not. She did not explain how she knew all this. She said the old man who died, used to control which girls worked there before he died.

Maybe they'll be changing the name, or such of Exedra. I know that they kept troublemaker chicas out, I never heard of any chica getting booted for no reason. I think the new scheme, as it's been detailed, is vastly different. Basically like Cafe Orleans, where they chicas pay to be allowed a table (or a certain amount of consumption)

I have no interest in an Orleans style place, as you get a more rushed service, and you end up paying substantially more that if you deal with a chica that doesn't have the high overhead.

I can tell you that $1500.00 dollars a month for a fucking waiter is way out of line boys! Not even in the USA is that possible.

The Mafia (read restaurant worker's union) tells me what to pay the waiters and dishwashers, etc, etc.

The pay scale is set according to the level of the resto-bar.

1 star.

2 star.

3star.

4 star. (actually they are called ¨tenedor ¨ or forks?)

Tablecloths on the tables being the highest level or even serving Lomo I believe.

Anyway, the highest paid waiters are paid about 1500 - 1800 pesos with a large part of their pay going to retirement, pensions, medical care, etc.

Nobody makes 4500 pesos a month as a waiter on salary alone!

600 to 800 for a waiter or kitchen hand is normal. A chef or parrillero will be the highest paid mf! (always pesos on this boy's blogs!)

The Mafia even tells me what they can and cannot do as part of their job!

Dishwashers cannot clean floors and windows or bathrooms, etc. The MFs!

Just lost my first lawsuit. More to follow I'm sure! The MFs!

X shall return. But no one knows what it will be. Least of all a fat, pale, overfucked and overpriced street *****!

Cheers,

TL.

P. S - Missed the damn auction but I was going to buy all of the items that had X's logos on them. Damn it.

Makes me wonder why a bar would sell all of the resto-bar equipment. Many things were basic kitchen utensils and ovens, stoves, fridges, etc. MAKES NO SENSE if they are going to re-open as a food and or drink establishment. Only a totally custom kitchen but even then?

The idea is another Rond Point style coffee shop aimed more at the Argentine business man, the local Jet Set and high class tourists than at the mongering crowd. This does not necessarily exclude girls but it will set a standard for the quality of the girls. Models and so on!

This means the upping of everything from cutlery to tables and chairs. This is why they have auctioned off all the old stuff.

I almost laughed when first I read the English wording of the following quote, followed up by reading it in Spanish.:

"It's a letdown for us," complained Vanina, a prostitute who worked 35 years "for years" in the bar."

"Es un bajón para nosotras", se quejó Vanina, una prostituta de 35 ańos que trabajó "durante ańos" en el bar.

The first, the translation, says she worked as a prostitute for 35 years at Exedra. That would make her a bit old, and a worn out rag to boot. I immediately thought of the droopy-eyed elder lady with blond hair, kind of mousy looking, big butt / thighs. Crooked teeth and tried to sit and have a conversation. Assuming she was 18 when she started, she would be about 53. Seemed like the right age.

The second, the original Spanish, means that she was 35 years old and had worked "for years" (I. E. An indeterminate number) at Exedra. I then thought of a younger milfish woman, blonde, not a bad rack and body, but a little thick maybe. Not terribly pretty but not bad. I don't know anything of her services, but a completely different image appeared of possible chicas who could be Vannina from Exedra that I could remember, right or wrong.

The translation idiomically (is that a word? It should be, though never voiced out loud I think, only written) would be closer to:

"It's a huge downer for us," complained Vannina, a thirty-five year old prostitute who worked "for years" in the bar."

Looks like guys hanging false ceilings and a / c ducts, sheetrock, etc.

Anyway, I walked in there and they have moved the bathrooms to the basement and they have built a smoking area so I have to believe that it will NOT be a pharmacy.

It does not make any sense but these guys down here RARELY make business sense!

There is a huge Pharmacy chain accross the street on Lima and Cordoba so stranger things have happened.

That regardless of who is selling the coffee, unless they institute a table charge, there will be desserts available from independent, third party vendors.How could it not continue to be a bit like its past? The location and size of this place makes for an ideal Starbucks puteria. (unless management actively discourages this and that should not be an easy task) The chain has a good bit of appeal to Argies as demonstrated by the one on Callao near Viamonte. The business model in the US seems to be catering to the self employed independent contractor. Just leave out the lap top and smart phone and which profession will flock to this place more in pursuit of locals and tourists in microcentro? My problem with Exedra was that I never went late and rarely saw a chica worth chatting up. Switching to Starbucks may provide an image shift that many more chicas may find appealing.

ExonThere is one on Florida and Cordoba and it's always packed.

Starbuck's is planning to open like 500 stores in Argentina!

I hope the rumor is not true.

I will poke around in there in a few minutes.

They did bring in a couple of new pieces of resto equipment.

The locals are going to get tired of 20 peso coffees real fast!

What they should do is open up a FUDDRUCKER'S!

Fuck Starbuck's!

That regardless of who is selling the coffee, unless they institute a table charge, there will be desserts available from independent, third party vendors.The Latest News :

Recently 2 or 3 very nice logos were added to the building.

An E and an X combined.

Also the windows are covered with the Bricco logo.

A local coffee shop chain.

Try this :

Maybe a resto also.

Same old boring bullshit menus no doubt!

Let me guess :

Fucking empanadas.

Fucking pizzas.

Fucking pasta.

Fucking milanesas.

ZERO TASTE or SPICE!

Bring on the Chicas!

That is what I will do!

Hell, let us be the ones to Stock The Pond!

The place is likely to be without chicas.

As far as I see from outside the buliding, there has been little development over the last 12 months.

(I see the cafe every day from my office which is on the opposite side of 9 de Julio.)

But I didn't notice the new EXEDRA sign until I saw the pic in WorldTraveler69's post.

Anyway, as said, we probably won't be able to find chicas here like people used to in the old days.

Perhaps TL knows better about what the place is going to look like when it re-opens.

Still not open as of mid Dec 2011.I was able to gain access to the interior of The Grand X today around noon and I spoke to the man that was working in there.

They plan to open by the end of March.

He did not know anything about Chicas.

He did think that if you build it they will come!

It will have the same name and has nothing to do with Bricco's.

Place looks very nice, pleasing colors.

Tuck and roll sofa looks cheap and out of place with the modern, booth style semi-sofas.

Oh well, I am an interior designer!

The X emblem which is VERY nice is cock-eyed on the bar!

That's a capital sin man!

Like a crooked Mona Lisa!

The place looks like it's ready to go now.

Also, Lälliance, my old place will re-open in April!

AS a FUCKING SUBWAY!

My rent was $3, 200. 00.

His rent is $14, 000. 00!

He has to redo EVERYTHING and pay for the franchise, etc.

Shit product in my opinion because it's just bread and 1 thin piece of ham and cheese!

I need a ¨Jewish Deli ¨Dagwood!

He will probably close at night and on sat. And sun. !

I did not follow this thread.

It has been a few years, but Why was Exedra shut down?X was never shut down, it was sold by the owner's son when the owner died.

A steal at 1. 3 million u$d.

Partial list of problems :

A long legal hassle to pay-off the exemployees, some that had worked there for 30 plus years.

Each waiter was entitled to 150k plus as severance .

Moving the bathrooms from ground level to the basement, adding central air, unable to find the main gas line underground, contractor unable to pay the workers so they squatted on site for at least 1.5 years !

The new owners have very deep pockets so they were never in a huge rush to reopen.

Permits and lack of permits!

It appears to be ready, has new furniture still under plastic wrapping.

They created a smoking area where the bathrooms were but then the law changed so they had to tear it out.

The word on the street is that they will not allow Chicas to hang-out there when it reopens.

So why bother going?

If you build it they will come.

TLI agree, it makes no sense for them not to have outdoor seating. But when did "sense" ever get in the way. Also, that outdoor space is no longer covered as it was back in the day. Still, outdoor seating would be great in the warm months. I agree, my favorite corner, but I don't know if it would still be my favorite corner without the chica factor. Vamos a ver.

Was there this evening. I saw two known faces sitting discretely outside. Another two I didn't know nor was I interested in knowing (3s or 4s at the best) jumped out of a cab and asked something to one of the known girls. I couldn't hear what they were talking about but the two carried on to the other bar a few doors down Carlos Pellegrini from Exedra. (the one that used to be a monger's trap). They were in there for about ten minutes and then walked off to the corner of Paraguay. The cab driver patiently waiting with the engine running.

Exedra now is more of a restaurant than a bar with all the tables laid with cutlery. I check the menus and the prices seemed quite reasonable. (Both food and beverage).

The food seemed tempting but I was expected elsewhere for dinner so I didn't try anything. They have draft Quilmes at 28 pesos a pint or 17 pesos half a pint and it was very good. (I stopped drinking bottled Quilmes years ago)

They accept credit cards.

Probably same 4-5 chicas I just saw 15 minutes ago at Exedra. None I would order out.

Had a good experience at privado Tucuman 118 today. Four girls. One was black so I'm not rating her. Not my thing. Other three. Pilar, Carla and Floppy. All 7-8. 5. I chose Floppy a 32yo tall blond. With a B E A utiful face and nice bod. Very sweet. Decent performance. Stayed well after the hora. I will probably go see Pilar next. She was probably in her early 20s. Best looking of the bunch. Carla short buxom and seemed especially ready for action.

$400p / hour but after my 343 Uruguay experience I was willing to pay for upgrade. Apartment is 2B but FYI it is on 4th floor (US standard). Or 3rd floor (Europe). If you are still confused (which I was) take the elevator and press 2.

Since I keep an apartment pretty close by, I used to frequent Excedra, if for nothing more than the shock value of a gringo sipping coffee whilst surrounded by professionals. I used to get a kick out of it. And sometimes even a bit more. I was sad when they boarded the place up, so when I got back here this week (after a 3 month hiatus) I was delighted to see it had re-opened.

Well, it certainly is more upscale than before and it has a different feel to it for sure. I sat down outside to sip a coffee and get a lay of the land. No pun intended.

There were a couple of women working. One who caught my eye from a distance but up close was not more than a 7. What surprised me was the number of cars that were pulling up on the street in front of the place and honking their horns so the women would come out and talk to them through their car window. Since I was sitting outside, I had a birds eye view of this. It was like something you see on HBO when they do a documentary like "Hookers on the Point". Women in micro mini skirts leaning into the window of some John's car. Oh well.

A lot of street walkers were hovering around nearby, not actually sitting in Excedra (perhaps to save the cost of a cup of coffee) and trying to work the street as well. It didn't have the same vibe as the old Excedra at all. What's that expression? You can never go home again...

Not a rousing success, nor a total waste. One of the guys from the house and I went down at 2130. It was far too early. There were however a few chicas there, so not a total loss.

The cigar guy showed up at 11:00 and after a brief discussion we concluded that future meetings will start at 2300. Cigar guy had already eaten but we had not so we left to grab chow. In the future SAMA meetings will start with an optional dinner downtown followed by coffee (or drinks) at E.

In any event it was a nice evening, cool but not cold, there was an interesting discussion of electronic publishing and how that benefits authors.

No question the best game in 2013 is all about the independent Internet chicas. They have the IQ way above the privado chicas. The good ones understand the value of repeat business. I hope that Excedra makes a come back, reports from cafe Orleans have been lame in past years, so nothing has changed there. For those that can run an argentine cell phone, text message in Spanish, and can read the board, killer chicas at the incall price of 4-500 pesos, take out to your place at 5-600 pesos are all over the place. If you combine this with reading the local foro, you are golden. Sadly, this forumn lost its way a few years ago when the anti-price police dudes took over. You know who you are! Such a shame really, years ago this forumn was similar to the local forumn. Price, service, location were nicely reported by most mongers. As has been reported recently, on this foro never post on a killer Chica as the local ex-pats, that should know better, just throw money at them and screw up a good Chica. So much for the local boys having any game.

Hope Excedra makes a comeback, but I somehow doubt it. Four years is a long time. Today the Internet rules. Just a sign of the times. Things change, the winners always learn to adapt. Monger on TL. Toymann.

And when you look back the majority of the Chicas at X were hags but there was always a super star and the atmosphere was fun, bouncing from table to table and meeting new girls then realizing that there were 10 to 20 women that you had fucked all in the same cafe!

I remember one night in the kitchen of my resto that there were 5 out of the 6 girls in the kitchen that I had been with. 4 workers and one non-pro. It was funny.

The Internet:

I would think that 4 years ago only 10% of those hags knew how to use a computer or had one. I have never used an escort site to meet someone in my life because 99% use photo-shop and I don't want to hurt the girl's feelings and tell her to go away. End up fucking some girl that I normally would not. I'm stupid I guess.

Yes, times change but I wonder what these woman at X are quoting. I bet it starts at 200 DOLLARS if you sound like a Gringo but you should be able to wittle that down to 600 p.

Thanks,

TL.

...had a lovely night last Friday and a little private party there, with one of the most loveable girls, that I know since years. And her friends.

WE HAD BIG FUN.

We had good service and reasonable prices.

Funny thing, actually, in X is...nobody knows, how to start it up.

There are boys...

There are girls...

The waiters in general are really treating you with good atention.

There are more girls all arround from Cordoba, Suipacha, Esmeralda...whatever street aside. Waiting that it starts up.

No entrance fee...

No special treatment for. Stars.

I was one of the last clients on Feb-29-2008 and one of the first when the reset.

Back to the question I posted: are there girls working at cafe ex? I understand that the circus atmosphere is past history. Today, if one if not disturbing the other patrons and uses a little bit a retraint are there working girls at the place that are approachable?

I understand that you can call working girls you know to meet possible clients at cafe ex. So can I.

Today makes 6 weeks without a drink! That's coming from someone that for at least the past 2 years drank a FULL liter or more of Whisky per night!

I went to 2 A.A meetings in a row, my ex. Girlfriend came over for the first time since she fell off the balcony a year ago today and the damn liquor store quit selling my favorite booze so it was like someone was telling me something!

Stopped smoking for 40 days too. And it was Easter Sunday. I asked someone or something to show me the way and something happened.

Was it a coincidence that the liquor store quit selling my booze the same day that I decided to quit drinking? How odd!

And I am brought before temptation every fucking night! You know how much It hurts to order an "Agua con Gas" for 300 fucking pesos at Hippo?

I am at the clubs and bars with friends and clients every night and I have to say "Water" please!

3 times in 1 week I said "No Thanks" to FREE Chicas! Fuck! That never would have happened before!

Back to Biz:

X- every girl in there at night is a prostitute and although the quantity has not reached terminal velocity like before the girls are younger and better dressed than before.

The grapevine is working and the girls are definitely returning although it's taking time; some are the same old "sperm banks" but others are brand new in the biz!

Carmela did not even know where the "telos" in the neighborhood are!

I think you boys will like her a lot! She is a tall white girl with a full-on GFE personality.

She is there often and so are Sabrina and Mia2 ! I do use X as a base of operations as it is easy to find and very nicely renovated and the crew there all know exactly who I am and how much biz I bring them or any other place that I hang my hat on.

So yes bob, the girls are there on their own but I am selecting the best ones for my friends!

Thanks and Take Care.

What girls are hanging out there? Saw several nice lookers last week. Busy watching basketball playoffs and didn't get any names. Will be there Tuesday night.It varies from day to day.

There are some girls that never miss a beat and they are there every day of the week, rain or shine.

The pale, mid 20's bleach blonde with shoulder length hair is there everyday. She told Tequila Tim $200.00 dollars one night. Not a good deal and there is NO Fucking Way that Locals are paying that.

Another very hot girl charges 400 pesos but it won't be any good. I know! She is the most narcissistic woman I have ever met in my life! When she came to my resto she would place the chair in front of the mirror so she could watch herself eat!

So is that the spread?

400 pesos to 200 dollars? Maybe.

Then there is the Dominican Mafia if you like that sort of thing. About 600 p for 2 hours.

The other usual suspects are there as well, horse faced, big assed, old, fat, etc.

There are a few part-time Chicas that are in their early 20's also. Not too bad.

The best looking girl that I have met there so far is Carmela but she is a part-timer.

Your best bet is to call 3 or 4 of the better looking Chicas and ask them if they will be there after 10 pm.

Remember we talked with some black dude from NY who was looking for someone to get a bunch of stuff through customs flashing a bunch of money?

He seemed to hang out across the street from EXcedra.

Yes, the Gangster from New York that said that he had 20 million Euros in Gold and Currency. Interesting story. He hung out at La Mad. Never saw him again.

Was with El Max a while back and we were thinking about you.

The Casinos are still there.

Turned down wine all night at dinner that was included and had 2 waters for about 400 p tonight at Hook and Hippo.

Makes you want to cry!

Was at the Hyatt on Wednesday night at the Cigar Bar and read their Whisky List, very nice selection.

660 pesos for a shot of 25 year old Chivas. That should make most people quit.

August 12th is a Monday and it falls in the middle of the month so I would NOT count on there being anything very exciting hanging around X at 11 pm. The regulars that never skip a beat should be there but it's better to jack-off usually.

On these types of days or nights with such a small window it's a lot better to make an appointment with a "sure" thing and have them come and visit you at your place.

After a lousy experience at Esmeralda 517 privado, I decided to walk by Exedra just to see where it is and what it looked like. It was about 4 pm and 36-year-old Alma, an Italian, was just walking in. I gave her the eye, and she came back out to invite me to have coffee with her. I accepted. We talked for a while (she speaks perfect English), and she told me that she is a working girl. (Big surprise!) I invited her back to my hotel, the Feir's Park on Esmerelda. She accepted (800 pesos for 2 hours), and after we finished our coffee, we walked over there.

The hotel gave us no trouble at all. We walked in the front door and went straight to my room. We then had a very pleasurable and unrushed 2 hours together. She was so good that I tipped her an extra 200 pesos, making it an even thousand. It was the best sex I had on this trip to Buenos Aires. A thousand times better than the lousy 30 minutes I spent at Esmerelda 517, and that cost me 500 pesos!

Anyway, Alma gave me her phone number. I'm leaving tomorrow, but I would definitely call her next time I'm here.

Very cool that you had a good time considering the experience at the privado. Something to think about; tips to providers just become part of the price next time. I used to do it a lot when I first started but I pretty much never do now. Argies don't, I can promise you that. It's your money brother, I'm not telling you to spend it, but her and everybody she knows at E are going to expect 1000 from you from now on as a basic price.

Just something to think about.

It's your money brother, I'm not telling you to spend it, but her and everybody she knows at E are going to expect 1000 from you from now on as a basic price.

Just something to think about.That's certainly a good point, but I'm leaving tonight and didn't expect to be back on this trip. Next time I'm in BA (maybe a year from now), nobody will remember me at all!

Bruce.I promise you Bruce, even if you don't come back for 5 years, the hive-mind will remember you!

It's an unfathomable phenomenon!
