Take a Bite out of Buenos Aires!

So much good food in this town ...from traditional to cutting-edge.

Share the feast!  As long as it's not "your secret place," why not let the rest of us in on it?

María at buenosairesfoodies.com has got just the place for that.  From facturas to golosinas to mate to "puertas cerradas", she shares.

Why not share-alike?

Buenos Aires Foodies is the greatest! As "The Atlantic" has said, "this is not a great food town."

But that just makes the hunt even more important ...and makes it more important for us to all share!

besos,
Mike

Some of the things you are talking about remind me of my stay in Argentina. I remember being shocked too with the fact that young children can stay up late till midnight. But that doesn’t seem to be such a bad thing for portenios. Usually night starts at 9, and depending on how dark it gets, because if there is still daylight, night can start at 10 PM.
I stayed in an apartment in buenos aires located in the neighborhood of Recoleta. Very classy and close to the cemetery which is a well-known tourist attraction.
As far as food is concerned, I tried empanadas and let me tell you that is one tasty dish.
I loved the country; I hope I will go back!
