[QUOTE=Moore]If she has...A pretty 45yo Italian mother.[/QUOTE]Has a 45-year old Italian mother? Hell, man, she **IS** a 45-year old mother. LOL! (Actually slightly older.)
But she's completely natural through and through. Nice natural tits. Nice natural bush. And she's a natural ball-busting B*I*T*C*H.

Hung out with Slugfest at this place after a session at Santa Fe 1707. This place rocks if your looking to meet young single earthy looking Portenas. I originally went there with Moore about six months ago. We immediately noticed a preponderance of good looking chicas. It was the same way today. I shit you not, I spotted the same chica Moore was enthralled with sitting there today. This place is a typical pizzeria. To reiterate, the chicas are not model quality. Rather the typical chica you'd see at thoughout the colleges in BA. Cumana is located on Rodriguez Pena behind Santa Fe 1707. Check it out in the afternoon.
Peace,

Right around the corner from Marisol and Pieggari is a Mediterranean restaurant (I forget the name) that is much less expensive and less popular, but is a hidden gem if you like that kind of food. It's to the right of Marisol as you face the restaurant. Babaganoush, hummus, and wrapped grape leaves are some of the appetizers. If you try to get a table at Marisol or Pieggari after 9:30 PM, you'll probably be out of luck, but this place is more accessible.
Well, I guess my information was out of date. I went looking for some Mediterranean food and found my recommended restaurant is now the Hereford Steak House. Just what Bs. As. Needs is another steakhouse! The prices are comparable to Piegari and El Marisol: entrees averaging about AR$26. Plaza Mayor, a Spanish tapas restaurant is also there, at about the same price point. I settled on El Marisol and got a great ojo de bife (rib eye) with papas espanola, an empanada, and a half bottle of wine ($23) for a total of AR$78 plus tip. I couldn't finish the 400 gm steak, so I asked for a doggie bag but wound up giving it to a beggar on the street. Trouble is, I'm too full too screw.
Bad experience
I got diarhea twice from eating at Montana parrilla on Junin. I had an ensalada, bife de lomo, and bife de chirizo the other time. I don't know what made me sick.
The waitresses are hot and I like their cowgirl uniforms.
Aroma has good coffee and great ice cream, and innocent young chicas working there. Also free newspapers. And jazz music.
Lola is an good but overpriced restuarante. I payed 76 pesos for shrimp salad, and stuffed trout. The music is very bizzare.
Good food, friendly staff. There is a guy named Francisco who should be a stand up comedian.
Good reliable food. Good steaks, trout, millenessa.

Good Italian food, good service.

Seems that German food is in short supply here in Buenos Aires. Anyone ever run across a bakery / cafe with fresh hot pretzels?
[QUOTE=Alan23]Seems that German food is in short supply here in Buenos Aires. [/QUOTE]There's a German restaurant across the square from the main entrance to Recoleta Cemetery, a couple doors down from the Etoile Hotel. Never eaten there, however.
There are 10 German restaurants in Buenos Aires listed on [url]www.guiaoleo.com.ar[/url].
This is a really good website, appreciate you passing it along!
Wish we could get Jackson to design a feature for locating private apartments, clubs, etc. With this interactive map locator (something I would be willing to pay for)

In Palermo viejo on Caberra. Went on Tuesday night 10pm last week per high reccomedations of oleaguia and I think Fodors. They did not have their act together. Decent interior but nothing special. Slow night with only 20% tables occupied (as was most of Palermo that night) The hostess reccomended the 'campo terrerine' appitizer. It was a weird pate of lamb with a few leaves of arlugala and a few drops of red wine reduction. Not sure what the chef was thinking. The lambs chops were cooked to perfection but the potatoe puree was tepid. The waiter (another person) forget to bring second glass of wine and the first waitress forgot the puree. Team service sucks. My date had a small but decent lomo. For the money there are much better in BaAs. BTW this place seems to have a very active live music calender mid week to weekends. I would pass by here again for a jazz show but eat at another place.
How early do I have to get to Cumana to get a table? I've tried the last couple of nights. I've gotten there at 9 when I thought it was early, but the place was packed with a line out the front. I just want to go because the food is supposed to be great and cheap.
Its 3/4 full at 6pm and full at 7pm then the lines start about 9pm. Not much of a bar so you have to get a table. Tons of 25 year olds. Good luck.

I met 4 fellow mongers for a nice Italian supper at Teodora's restuarant and Bar jst around the corner from El Alamo. One of the mongers was a fairly regular guest so we decided to try it out based on his recommendation. I enjoyed a fairly good mixto salad and spaghetti dish that was pretty good. The food was not too expensive and the company with dinner was fun as always! I reccommend Teodora in the 1400 block of Arenales, just around the corner from El Alamo if you want a inexpensive Italian dinner and don't want to travel all the way into Broccolinos near the triangle prior to your mongering evening!

If you want to go posh at lunch, this is a good option. It is not recommended for vegetarians. Local businessmen and and other varied upper crust twats go there for business lunches. The outside veranda is good for watching chicas go past and rating their racks.
As far as the food goes as long as you are prepared for a large dead animal to be plonked on your plate all is fine. Excellent quality, good service but pricey as hell. (I was not paying - yipee! 2 people - kidneys and sweetmeats for appertizer, half-bottle of wine (OK - we're wimps) flan and the biggest ef*ing steak I have ever seen $150 pesos.
Do recommend it, if budget is not an issue.

Sushi Night - 2791 Araoz - is actually the name of this place. Do yourself a favor and head someplace else when that desire for good sushi hits you. This place is a disaster from the word "go".
Walked in door to a strange smell - This was my first clue, should have done an about-face. They put mayo or cream cheese in most of their rolls - not my cup of tea!
Even the "sushi" rice is not good, in addition to bad service.
They have a sushi "Libre" offering - or all you and eat for 39p, that has recently been raised from 33p for a resrticted selection of menu or 48p for no restrictions.
Would recommend that you avoid this place in lieu of a higher quality - albeit more expensive location.
A group of us went to a great little place in Palermo called "Azema" last night (Angel Carranza 1875) Wonderful Pan-asian cuisine, service, and decor. Definitely a place to dine deluxe on TGIF prices. Reservation is a must though since it was even packed on a Tuesday (4774-4191) Cudos to Stormin on several excellent resturant choices this trip!

I don't know how long they keep this stuff around. So if you are interested I suggest that you read this ahora mimiso.

I ate their last year in November. Like you said the food is nothing special, being from the Bay Area (SF)
I met the owner, nice guy from the East Coast, N. Y. Or Jersey.
I taught the staff some Thai phases. Such as hello and thank you.
[QUOTE=Mpexy]Empire Thai, at 427 Tres Sargentes, nearest cross street Paraguay.
Actually not that great Thai food compared to what I know as Thai food in the San Francisco Bay Area, which I think is a pretty good place to get Thai next to Thailand itself.
However, if you miss actual spicy foods while in Argentina since it seems Argentines think even a tiny little bit of spice is "peycante", try this place. Seriously, it's some weird tasting food, not bad in the sense of non-edible, just not really what I'd even classify as Thai food. But it can get pretty damn spicy and that's what I wanted.
Green curry is nothing. Zero spice so I thought on first visit this place was another Argentine spice level place saying they had spicy stuff but really wasn't. But tonight I tried their Red Curry with chicken / beef / etc that you choose, and wow. Even being a spice lover, and even being told it was "very spicy" in a real warning kind of way so that I actually said ok, please make it less spicy than normal, it was flaming hot.
Average food, but the only place I've found so far with actual spicy, even flaming hot, plates.[/QUOTE]
This place was FANTASTIC. The rolls are excelently prepared and the staff has that Japanese "kill you with kindness" vibe. If you were cursing them out I'm sure that they would still smile and do their best to please you. I really recommend the teriyaki chicken appetizer. The chicken is so moist and tender and the sauce is amazing. My favorite roll had salmon and avocado. The bad news is that it is EXPENSIVE. It was $230 pesos for 2 w / wine and dessert. Definately not a place that I will be going to often but I will return and the next time I'll go alone. For those of you who already know about Mumbai it is just down the street about a half of a block going towards Reconquista.

Check the decoration on the walls, the name of the meals, the creole hats the cooks are wearing. It all relates to french tropical islands: la Reunion, la Guadeloupe, la Martinique, Saint Bartelemy
This place is clean.
Very reasonable prices.
And close replica to real indian food.
It's very very difficult to replicate what you get in india, but this is quite good.

GQ Magazine recently had a small blurb about this resturant / bar as a venue for Maybellined women from New York City and London to hang out.
Is there any mongering opportunities at the bar area?

Bad I haven't been keeping up with the forum. You are always hitting good places in Las Canitas and Palermo. How about Bads top 10, say graded on Service (impossible to find but hotness off wait staff can be considered, counts as well) quality, menu and presentation.
Oh yes before I forget, the old Soviet Union sucked and Lenin was a pansy.
Hotel recommended Parrilla Pena, 682 Rodriguez Pena.
Nicer parrilla with locals only. Prices are reasonable, 30 pesos for a full bife de lomo, 24 for one-half. Steak was incredibly tender and tasty. Tastes stays in the mouth for a long time.
Porteņos have a penchant for eating facturas, or pastries, at anytime of the day. However, I only take them for breakfast to start my day right. Being a coffee addict I always take it with good media lunas or croissants. I finally found what I can call a perfect media luna de manteca. Perfect texture and color, just sweet enough not to overpower the coffee. The pastry shop is called Confiteria La Argentina located at Avenida Libertador 6481 in the Belgrano neighborhood. It may be a bit far from centro but its well worth it. At P 1.30 a piece it should be.
Having lived in Eastern Europe for seven years, I suddenly had a craving for Hungarian or Polish food. Searched the local restaurant listings and came up with La Casa Polaca as a possible option. They have a website [url]www.casapolaca.com.ar[/url]
Asked them if they have goulash and the waitress proudly said "of course". It was a bit on the bland side but passable enough for me to be able to finish it with a smile on my face. Had an apple strudel for dessert, served the eastern european way as opposed to the Argentine way of wrapping the apple like a spring roll. Price is reasonable and not on the pricey side.
[QUOTE=Sidney]Cuba in BA! First, a Cuban singer, then an old style Cuban floor show. Mucho dancing by the crowd of AR's, RD's, and Cubans. The place is packed with local AR chicas on all 3 floors. It is like going back in time by 50 years! Cover at 15 pesos includes a cerveza. A full Cuban dinner menu. We left at 230am=my brother, gfe Letica and I. Letica tells me that after 3am, they put away the tables and it is Cuban music and dancing all night long. Definetly a big step up from the Dominican Discotecque, Bis Flow, that I have reviewed before. Of course, the place is for the adventurers, not the older sissies. A great place for the young at mind guys, like Helpmann and I![/QUOTE]I would love to hear more reports about this place. Is it just Salsa or do they play Merengue as well?
Thanks,
Helpmann :)
[QUOTE=Sidney]Only Salsa and Cuban music of up to 50 years ago, like Xavier Cugat. The place is perfect for you and seems very safe. Cum on down! P. S--I haven't had time for Abril, but sessioned with the Ecudorian for the 6th time today. Any chica would love this place.[/QUOTE]The place sounds great! I only mention Merengue, because it's so much easier to dance to and so much easier to find a Dominican dancing partner to dance with.
Best,
Helpmann :)
Heard so much about this pizza place so I had to try it for myself. Be prepared to wait for quite awhile as this place is packed and according to the other clients that I talked to it is always like at any given time. I saw someone eating a pizza without muzzarela cheese on top and decided to have it to. The guy cutting the pizza proudly explained to me that this is the specialty of the house called "pizza canchera". It had the mandatory tomato sauce, pepper, onion and some other spices that I cannot identify. Not bad for a pizza without muzzarela. Also tried the jamon why queso and faena. Now, I understand why people keep coming back here after all these years (they opened in 1938) the pizza is good. However, forget about classy interior decoration and ambience as they don't have it here. Try to eat your pizza as fast as you can and head out because the longer you stay the more you will smell like fried food as the empanadas are deep fried in the same section where people eat.
BTW, unlike other pizza joints, payment is made after you've eaten. The person slicing the pizza will give you a piece of paper indicating the running total cost of the slices of pizza and drinks that you've ordered. When you're done give the paper to the cashier to pay.
Details: Address - Avenida Cordoba 5270 in Villa Crespo.
Close to the Juan be. Justo bridge.
Tel No. For takeout 4774-3836
Only open in the evening according to one of the clients
