Atl,
I always stay in the San Martin area. It is more congested and frenetic, but EVERYTHING one needs can usually be found on the block that you stay on.
I mean locoturios, grocery, restaurants, laundry, pubs, bars etc.
Furthermore, you are within easy walking distance of Orleans and Excedra (Chica Cafes), the Triangle (Cattos, Ness, Hook), Apt 921 Suipacha, Jaz, Cutty Sark, and the often reviewed Dick heads Maria.
For shopping and prime chica watching you are right there at the pedestrian streets of Florida and Lavalle. Great for food, leather, locutorios etc.
You are close to Recoletta (3-5 pesos taxi) should you desire those clubs:
Affaire, Madahos, Black, Shampoo etc.
I find downtown to be more "real" while Recoletta is more for tourist and well to do Argentinians. There are good restaurants in Recoletta, but at a premium price as well. I find San MArtin/DT to be of a better value. So it depends on ones taste. I also like the downtown clubs. I totally find the girls to less cut throat over negotiations and overall alot less dough for your blow! Bottom line it depends on ones personal choice.
If you stay in SM/DT it is possible to never have to take a taxi to get what you want/need. If you like energy then this is the place. If you want more peace and quiet then Recolleta/Palermo is a better choice (with the result in having to pay more and not be self contained within a city block/street.).
For maps: see Moon Dogs section on this site. Great maps with all the right places highlighted
Hope this helps.
OTH
Except I like the Wilton Hotel, a little pricey at $60.00 US a night it's on the corner of Callao and Santa Fe and the neighborhood is great. The Hotel staff is great except for the red headed (expletive deleted) that works the afternoon shift.
If it's anytime soon you could take them to the Abasto Mall there is a decent arcade and amusement park in the mall.
If it rains you can buy new leather soled shoes and go to Florida Street. If you get a good running start you can slide from Corrientes to Paraguay.
I think most teenagers would get a kick out of touring the Colon. (that's the teatro not the body part, mi teclado no hablo Castillano)
You could try tango lessons at Mora Godoys studio.
The Recoletta cemetary is always creepy cool and the one in Chacarita is bigger.
You could get them all wired on coffee and pay a taxi driver to scare the shit out of them by driving super fast in the rain.
You could tell them to wait for you on Dickheads magic wall. Interesting things happen when you sit there.
A polo match would be fun. (Don't know if it's the season though)
Also you don't mention the age or sex, if it's a boy over 16 turn him over to the savage beast. Or better yet, give him 200 pesos and tell him to do the best he can, that would scar him for life. As a matter of fact, take the whole family to Excedra for dinner. Who knows maybe the wife has a freaky side she's been keeping from you.
Everybody oohs and ahhs over the ceiling in the Galaria Pacifico. Plus you have the added bonus of the alternative lifestyle types hooking up in the bathroom on the lower level.
As Andres would say, hope this helps.
Greetings,
I will be making my first trip to BA from west coast on Sept. 11 and concluding on the 23rd. I have an apartment in Ricoleta and would like to know what the latest info of day action are. I would appreciate any advice that you folks can give me.
Take Care
FYI - I (and some fellow mongers that will remain unamed) are planning yet another trip to BA. To those of you who know me. Yes, I am still on the face of the earth. Sorry - its been while since I have been back or posted. Updates to follow.
Guys help me if you can.
Australian guy who will be spending my first week in Rio Oct. 1 to 8.
I have 10 hours to kill in BA airport on my return journey - I arrive at 11am on Sat Oct. 8 - leave for Dulles at 9.05pm.
Now I am figuring that some of you experienced and learned regular BA visitors could give me some invaluable advice as to how I could easily spend this time with a couple of babes and beers rather than stumped up in airport.
Thanking you in anticipation - I look forward to the advice.
If you get there at 11:00 you will clear customs and Imm by noon, take a remis into town get downtown at 1300. You could have the cabbie drop you off at Excedra, have a little lunch and check out whats there. If you see nothing head to Orleans, nothing there go to 921 Suipache and do the two for one. Take a breather and then go for a little walk, maybe tour the Opera House wander Florida or walk up to 1707 Sante Fe (nice walk lots of chicas) fuck somebody else, buy Dickhead a beer then have supper and head back to the Airport arriving no later than 1900.
Leaving the secure area means you have to pay an additional you$S18.00 as an airport tax. Personally it would be worth it to me.
I will be in Buenos Aires from Sept. 16 to 30. Anyone wants to hook up, give me a pm. I will pm my Argentine cell no.
El Alemán
I'm coming down on Saturday and suddenly the flight is full, now Friday is filling up. You motherfuckers better stay away from my flights this weekend.
Hi All,
I will be in the best city in the world next week, starting Sunday 9/18.
Would be glad to shear a beer etc. Please pm.
Best,
Carpediem
Have arranged with Ana for a pick up (thanks guys) an apartment in Barrio Norte and also packed a crate of magnum condoms (ahem) and plenty of vitamin v / c. I figure I can buy the Gatorade for fluid replenisnment at a nearby Disco market. Is anyone out there in A. P. Land going to be in BA during that time so I can buy them a Quilmes at Excedra?
I will be In BA starting Sept. 29 for a month or so. If anyone wants to hook up PM me or email to [blue][Email Address deleted by Admin][/blue].
Thanks,
Dave

Hello,
I will travel to Patagonia in November 2005. I arrive in Buenos Aires on Friday, November 18, 2005, where I will stay for a few days. After I travel to Bariloche, Puerto Montt, Punta Arenas and Ushuaia, and return back to Buenos Aires.
Would like to hear anything about Bariloche, Puerto Montt, Punta Arenas and Ushuaia.
Thanks
