Advantages: The best meat in the world! Disadvantages: You may need a laxative after all that red meat!
not try "achuras" a wide range of different meat and other cow stuff, only for braves! Why? They include more than we want to know! (kidneys, sweetbread, intestines, brains...) prices round 10 pounds per person. Don?t forget to book your table so you can enjoy a beautiful view to the docks. If you're planning something romantic, go at night!
If you are hungry in the city centre make your way up to Corrientes Avenue to eat in el Palacio de la Papa Frita (the kingdom of the french fried) and try a juice steak. If you are really hungry, try the "bife a caballo" a steak with fried eggs on top, also with french fries! Here the prices are lower.
Try the meat and you'll see why it's that famous!

The Kempinski Hotel is ideally located in the centre of BuenosAires. You are within walking distance of numerous cafes, restaurants, shops, the metro, bus stops and many of the main attractions.
It is a small boutique hotel with friendly, competent staff who are happy to help you out.
We stayed in the hotel for 6 nights and were very happy with the place.
The hotel, is like many others in BA tall and narrow - the lifts barely fit two people, so let the porter take your suitcases up to your room - it is far easier than getting stuck doing it yourself.
The rooms are spacious and comfortable - you get a sofa and an en-suite as well as a huge double bed. The room is air conditioned - a must in summer as it is so hot outside.
There is cable TV with lots of random English speaking channels - so you can watch movies in English ...
Advantages: Classy, cultural and (at the moment) cheap. Disadvantages: The current economic situation continues to plague the nations spirit.
BuenosAires' biggest green belt. Here you can find the City Zoo (Jardin Zoologico), Botanic Gardens (Jardin Botanico) and the highly prized Japanese Gardens (Jardin Japones). The huge Parque 3 De Febrero has an impressive Planetarium called 'Galileo Galilei' and entry to the observatory and museum only costs $4.
If you are in need of some greenery closer to town there are 3 mini parks in Retiro near the train station. This is where you'll see workers resting after a day in the office or the stalls. The gardens are all well maintained and surprisingly rubbish free.
Many guidebooks extol the virtues of wandering around the distinctly working class areas of San Telmo and Boca. In the next sentence the same guidebooks warn of the potential dangers of doing so. Muggings and pickpockets are not unknown here but you get to see the real BA ...
