[blue]The Buenos Aires Tip Sheet now available for review.

As an occasional visitor to B.A (around twice a year for the last 10 years or so. I believe that a lot of first time visitors would stay "somewhere central."
Therefore I think that La Chacra and Estancia should be included in the list of Restaraunts as both are a good intro to "typical" Argentinian food.
Also Cabana Las Lilias on Puerto Madero is also one of my favourites. Although not cheap by local standards the quality is good and seens to be frequented by a good mix of locals and visitors! I saw former president Menem's wife and daughter there on one Sunday lunchtime last year.

Hi Hotman 666,
I appreciate your suggestions, but...
I don't know La Chacra, but Estancia and especially Cabana las Lilas are flaming tourist places, and in my tip sheet I was trying not to promote tourist traps and instead provide some restaurant options that are more authentic. That's also why I opted to list some restaurants that weren't in el Centro.
Thanks,

La Chacra [b]defines[/b] "tourist trap." That is the place on Córdoba around the corner from Exedra with the stuffed cow out front. Food is mediocre and prices are ridiculous. Petting the cow is fun, though.
Dear fellow mongers.
As for anything we do, we must plan first. Especiallly if you are planning a trip to Buenos Aires. These are two steps I normally do before going to chica land.
1. Plan a chica budget. Ask, how many chicas can I have? Vary between quantity and quality. During the day visit apartments, cafe's, and call escorts for the cheap sex (quantity) Then at night visit the more expensive clubs (quality) Pace yourself, so you don't run out of girl money before the trip is over.
2. Plan for escorts. Do your research at home. Make a catalog of the girls you want from the escort sites. Go through the thousands listed, cut and paste pictures to a word document with their name, phone number, and services provided. Catalog and list of at least 20 that you like. When in Argentina, some will not be available, but you can go to the next on the list.
1. The chica tips are very good. After reading it, I think I can go to a club or private apartment and navigate my way to the great promised land. I didn't have that feeling before reading it. Of course, it could always have more info, but as it stands it's a very good starter document.
2. I wouldn't worry at all about listing restaurants. Never in my life -- anywhere in the world outside of Paris -- have I stumbled across as many good restaurants as I have in Buenos Aires. Finding them is part of the charm of Buenos Aires, and I wouldn't waste valuable "chica tip" space on the eating tips. Pussy trumps food any day of the week.
Thanks for putting it all together,
SL

La Chacra is horribly overpriced. All it has is location. Estilo Campo beats Cabana Las Lilas for value, food, and service along with dozens of other restaurants in BA. A few gringos have privately admitted carnal knowledge of that cow in La Chacra and even she is overpriced.
Does anyone know if the "Cubierto or Servicio Mesa" in restaurants is split with the waiters or is this entirely for the House?
This charge combined with a 5% propina can push the total after meal expense to the 15-20% range easily.

Hi Alan23
The cubierto goes to the restaurant. It's basically to prevent loitering.
Thanks,

Jackson,
I'm new to the board thinking of taking my first trip to Argentian in mid Oct. Very impressed with the information I see on the form and all the helpful hints I do like the tip sheet I easy to printout page so that we do not have to hunt and peck through to assemble our own.
Thanks
What does this mean? "dust off the house pig".
[blue]================================================
Hi Nemesis,
When you first settle in at a club you will often be approached (usually at the urging of the house management) by the ugliest girl there (aka the "house pig"). The purpose of this tactic to see if they can foist their worst "inventory" off on you, thus preserving their best girls for more discriminating clients. Surprisingly enough, this tactic actually works on occasion. For example, Exon will always fall for the first chica that approaches him. He always protests when I point this out to him, even while he's sitting in the club with the chica in his lap, but sure enough 20 minutes later he's out the door with the same chica.
Anyway, the point is to know what's happening and to be prepared to tell the house pig to get lost so you can take your time, survey all the available chicas and then make your own selection.
Thanks,
Jackson[/blue]
Shit, I recall how that happened to me on two occasions. Argentina really is a corrupt country.

First off. Great work!
I agree with previous comments that recommendations of restaurants may be a waste of space here (maybe add an advertisment for El Alamo!
I would add a section on massages my favourites are:
-Croix possibly the best infrastructure in town for happy end massage. Sauna, showers, party room, etc. Etc.
-Brisa.
-Dream On.
Both change the girls regularly and have better and worse times. Both have sauna, which I love after the massage, helps to get all the cream off before going home and really relaxes you.
Jackson,
I've been to B. A. off and on now for a few years, and have used a number of your recommedations. In reference to your tip sheet private apartments- Best to downgrade SantaFe 1707 apt 3, to $$. It does not even compare in quality either to CeiloPrivate on Larrea. SantaFe may have a few more girls at times though, but facilities are much higher in quality and the madam much more professional at Ceilo. Rates at Ceilo - $200, 220, and 250 pesos. SantaFe - straight $100 pesos (any extras-you and girl negot.) I also tried Maipu 429 5th floor, as a walk up twice now and recieved no answer. I'll try phone contact prior to my next visit.

Hi Zhomeguy,
Actually the "$$" system is intended only to indicate approximate price range, not quality. Perhaps the correct thing would be to re-evaluate Ceilo at "$$$$".
Thanks,

Hello Jackson, just a few follow up questions to the tip sheet for us newbies.
What is the best phrase to use when declining an offer to seat someone at the boliches?
When pondering over the selections at the boliches, what is a nice way to reject the walk ups?
What does dusting off the house pig mean exactly?
When is the best time to visit the boliches for maximum quality of targets?
Thanks.
