Medialuna Fridays at Alimentari

Posted on 4 Comments

What’s better than reaching a Friday knowing the weekend is about to start? Medialuna Fridays! While I’m not a factura kinda girl, Alimentari (locations in the microcentro) makes a damn good medialuna.  Some say (and by some I mean me) it’s the best in BA.

Time to take my WOK out of retirement.  With an intense urge for American style Chinese food, I didn’t want to be disappointed by the crapness delivery services in my area.  After eating the best Chinese food I’ve had in BA a few weeks ago, I knew it would be difficult to get up to […]

Veggie’s Deli & Gourmet Natural

Over the past 4 years that I’ve been living in Buenos Aires, I have probably ordered delivery more than all my other years combined, earning the title of a true couch potato.  Thanks to Buenos Aires Delivery, I have expanded my delivery menu stack of mostly bad sushi and pizza/empanadas, and I am able to […]
