Just booked a last minute flight down to BA and I will arrive Monday morning for 9 days. As of this moment I will be flying solo. Since it is my 3rd trip back I know the lay of the land but I am interested in getting together with anyone else who may be in town during the same time frame. That certainly includes Jackson to whom I have not yet met but certainly owe a debt of gratitude since this board prompted my first visit last year.
Also grateful for Ottos restaurant reviews and would appreciate any and all suggestions as to the best restaurants in town. While the women are fantastic they are only a contributing piece of the BA experience.
I know its late, and I probably will have to book a place today, but if anyone knows of a truly luxury apt. for rent the info would be most appreciated.
Probably the best restaurant in BA is "La Bourgogne" in Hotel Alvear. This is a world class restaurant with food and service quality to match the leading spots in the world, - at a fraction of the price.
Morena is cozy, authentic and romantic.
Try "Estancia" for lunch. It is a historic landmark, replete with open fire pits on either side of the entrance. Bring a healthy appetite, the servings of meat are gargantuan.
Cabana las Lilas in Puerto Madero is another classic.
I also like Happening in Palermo, near the river.
Make sure you order local wine to exploit the current currency value.
You will eat well wherever you go. Send a report...
Uncle Otto,
I find it somewhat difficult to understand your recommendation pertaining to Cafe Orleans. I have for the most part agreed with your recommendations regarding resturants and I have partially agreed with your recommendation of Blacks and other well known bars. Obviously, some hobbyist enjoy the finer things in life and don't mind paying for them, however, Cafe Orleans is not, IMHO, worth mentioning as a location to find attractive women. And although I agree with you that we should not generalize, I feel rather secure in stating that most of the women in this place will not be found attractive by the majority of the fellow hobbyist that read this board. Thus, I would recommend to anyone that it would be preferable to visit the spa, a favorite resturant, spend time with your favorite chica, or go sight seeing before visiting Cafe Orleans unless your into quantity and not quality. Have fun shagging but do it with stlye. Yeah Baby!
Re Cafe Orleans: I saw some women there I would fuck if I were drunk and they didn't have cigarettes hanging out of their mouths, but I wasn't and they did.
It's a pretty safe bet that if I, Dickhead, wouldn't fuck 'em, you wouldn't either.
And I wasn't really recommending it as a destination restaurant, either. When I ate lunch there, cigarette smoke wasn't a factor because it wasn't crowded, the hookers were seated by the window, and we sat in the interior by the bar so there wasn't anyone smoking within say fifty feet of us. The ventilation in there seemed good.
With all the apartment brothels that are available during the day, I'd have to agree that Cafe Orleans is a mere curiosity.
Well then, it sounds pretty clear- avoid Cafe *****-leans.
There is such a variety and good stuff around BA that you should not have to go to a dive bar in broad daylight.
As people said, during the day hit the Internet girls or better yet, the apartment girls or spas. The first is hit or miss while the other two you can see what you are getting into beforehand. Nothing like sending away a pissed off girl who know has your room number! Only take back that special chica to your room otherwise.
I donīt get it, how can a word like Whoreleans get censored out just now when separated into two words? Isnīt have the idea of this board about freedom of thinking and all?!?
Such words are prohibited by Jackson on the grounds they denigrate women. Also slu& and b%tch. I agree with this.

Then why not prohibit the word Dickhead, since it denigrates men:-)
Touche
I guess it only seemed ironic as we can get around the rule by placing other letters I guess. Also makes it harder to search when you are looking for @ss. ;)
Hmmm..... A guy who trolls for streetwalkers and hangs out in the visitors room of prisons is too good to stop into a Orleans Cafe because the women are too ugly or they smoke cigarettes. WOW! Wonders never cease! Bet he'll next be giving us recommendations as to which Buenos Aires parish to go to mass at.
As I've said, there's no accounting for taste. One reason I think Internet chicas aren't the way to go is that you've no way to know what you're going to get, based on a photo posted on an internet. If you meet somebody face-to-face, your chances of being disappointed are much less, I think. And as for streetwalkers, well, if you have a death wish, be my guest. The only reason a girl is a streetwalker in Buenos Aires is because she's not allowed by the management to work out of a club, apartment, or restaurant.
BTW I never recommended the food at Orleans Cafe, other than a tapa which I've been given when ordering a coffee, I've never eaten there.
A much better recommendation for lunch in the same area is [b]Patagonia[/b] which is a small restaurant in the food court of Galeria Pacifico. They have excellent luncheon plates as well as local micro-brewed beer.
BTW Beach Boy, thanks for the tip on the restaurant at the Alvear Palace, I shall have to try it next trip. I agree with you that Cabana Las Lilas is a first-class parrilla, too.

Actually, I am nicknamed Dickhead (that isn't just a name I made up for this board, believe it or not) because due to an injury, there is a large lump on my shoulder that looks the head of a dick, that is very noticeable when I am wearing a t-shirt or something similar (and of course even more so if I am NOT wearing a t-shirt). Most of my friends call me that although it is often just shortened to Dick. When I worked for the post office some b@tches complained about people calling me that when it wasn't my name and the bosses tried to stop it but couldn't. It's not as pronounced now since I had shoulder surgery but the nickname remains.
Sorry for the off-topic post.

For what it's worth guys, I DID find a girl at Orleans that is quite attractive (as my bud MarcoMan can attest), though I will admit there are often many less attractive. But then I find that to be the case at most if not all the clubs I frequent since I generally only find one or two that really make me Happygolucky!
There is another restaurant similar to Cafe Orleans where one can sometimes find lovely ladies in waiting; it is on the corner of Nueve de Julio and Cordoba, about 4 or 5 blocks down from Cafe Orleans (the name is something like "Excedrin")- perhaps Otto knows the correct name. We have been there a couple times for lunch and have seen some lovely chicas; however, we have yet to visit at night so I do not know what the p.m. action can be like.
Thanks for the restaurant info. Otto; we are epicureans in training!!
Always,
Happy

That statement is just flat ridiculous. Many prefer not to share their earnings with anyone. The rest of your post misquotes me as usual but if I respond further, Jackson probably will censor me again so I will just let the readers judge for themselves.

I would tend to disagree. I have no experience with the clubs in BA... yet, but, if you go back and read the posts on this board, you will find numerous reports of guys who picked up a "hottie" in one of the clubs and brought her back to his hotel/apt., only to find that she looked 5 years older and 10 Kg heavier under the lights. The simple fact that a chica is sitting next to you doesn't necessarily mean you can see what she looks like.
The only advantage of the clubs is that you have an opportunity to guage the quality of a chica's personality, which, is at least as important as her looks.
And even then, as many of the mongers have testified, a chica's attitude can change dramatically once she's out of the club environment.
Club vs. internet, it's a crap shoot either way. Unless your fellow mongers have blazed a trail for you.
