Where to Eat in Buenos Aires: 5 Great New-ish Restaurants
Do people still read food blogs? Are we supposed to do substack newsletters now? Incessantly post on Instagram? Tweet threads? Make restaurant voice-over TikToks? Get into crypto NFTs on the metaverse? (I know the last one is nonsense, but somehow feels accurate.) I don’t think blogs are still a thing, but I’m feeling retro and […]

Wafts of asado smoke fill the air, and once I spot the steam locomotive next to […]
Sudestada, High Winds with a Great Lunch Special
Back in the good ole BA days, when the colectivo cost 80 centavos, Sudestada offered one of the best lunch specials in Palermo.

Café San Juan: Worth the Hype

My New Favorite Brunch: Hernán Gipponi Restaurant in Fierro Hotel
**Hernán Gipponi Restaurant is no longer in the Fierro Hotel** For those looking to indulge in an extra special, extravagant brunch, skip the Faena, Park Hyatt or Alvear hotels and instead boutique it up at Hernán Gipponi’s restaurant, inside the Fierro Hotel.
