Guidebook for Buenos Aires
Food Scene
it's a parrilla, my favorite one! They serve mostly meat (bbq = asado style) and it's delicious and very cheap comparing to anything in Palermo. They also have chicken and fish and I'm also almost sure they have vegetarian dishes. It's all typically Argentinian (except for the waiters who are Colombian haha and really nice) and really, really delicious. They don't take credit cards, and it gets busy so it's better if you go early (8:30-9pm should be fine).

my second favorite restaurant, it's really close to the apt (3 cuadras/blocks). They serve Armenian/Libanese food. Really this place is just heaven. Try their hummus, falafels and ensalada belén and tell me about it, it's the best! Same as Las Cabras, they don't take credit cards, it's better if you go early (best places get crowdy haha). The address is Thames 1101, C1414DCW CABA

this is not really a restaurant, it's a bodegón, but they have homemade, cheap food, they open late and are located literally at 45 meters from home. For a med student like me they are a great saver to grab some empanadas when I have no energy for cooking. They have good breakfast although, and it's typically Argentinian.

you cannot leave Buenos Aires without tasting our pizzas. We love them and are really proud of them, even though Italians say they took the worse pizzaiolos in Italy and sent them to us and that's why our pizzas are so different. But that's just jealousy because our pizzas are the best in the world and Italians can't accept that the student surpassed the master. It happens. My favorite one is napolitana or fugazzetta. They have great empanadas as well. It's not close but it's the best pizzeria in the city!

Another pizzeria very famous is Guerrín, it's really close to theatres and it's typical here that we go to the theater and after you eat some great pizza at Guerrín. They accept credit cards.

this is a place just so typically Argentinian to me. It's not very sophisticated but I love to grab a book and go read there in the afternoon. The whole barrio, Almagro, is great for walking. You can follow the bicisendas (ways for bicycles) and just get lost, but don't go above Sarmiento by night just in case. All the rest is fine and really typical and beautiful. I hope I'll be able to move to this neighborhood one day, I like that it is so underground.

Drinks & Nightlife
this is a bar that also serves food. I go there every Thursday because they have live cumbia and I love to dance (the band is called Luz Buena). It's really a great place to be at and to make friends. The people who go there are around 25-40 yo, and it's a nice place to drink some beers and dance!

This place is sophisticated and relaxed at the same time. There is a patio with big plants, and they play good music. It's not very cheap, but seriously the bartenders shake and serve some of the most delicious and refreshing cocktails around the city. Try their Honey Sour cocktail, you'll thank me later!

This is a place where you can find a lot of activities. I recommend La bomba del tiempo on Mondays at 6pm, a classic for both tourists and young people from Buenos Aires. Also they have a show called Dancing mood, I've never been but a friend recommended it so maybe check it out. It's a huge place outsides, so not for rainy days! It's awesome for meeting people.

Arts & Culture
It's theater in the complete dark, they have a lot of experiences and all of them are recommended. I love to go there, I'm almost sure all of the actors are blind and you can meet them and talk to them at the end of the obra. Recently I went to "a ciegas gourmet", I thought it was a little expensive but worth it, really funny.
