Restaurants and Nightclubs in Buenos Aires

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! Night clubs in Buenos Aires. Buenos Aires is proud of their nightlife.(and their well dress ladies too!) You can find in the capital...

Review of Buenos Aires

Comfort in Buenos Aires

Advantages: Friendly staff, clean rooms
Disadvantages: Small lift, awful scrambled eggs

...The Kempinski Hotel is ideally located in the centre of Buenos Aires. 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...

Review of Park Central Kempinski Hotel, Buenos Aires

  Aires And Graces

Advantages: Classy, cultural and (at the moment) cheap.
Disadvantages: The current economic situation continues to plague the nations spirit.

...Buenos Aires' 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...

Eat half a cow and Tango like Arnie in 'True lies'

Advantages: Cheap, interesting and great food.
Disadvantages: Not great for veggies and careful of opportunist theives

...Buenos Aries We stayed in the Emperador Hotel on Ave Libertador which was within walking distance of quite a few sights of Buenos Aires such as May Square, the Harbour area and the pedestrian shopping streets such as Florida St. On our first day we had an official city tour which began in May Square ( Plaza de Mayo) which was named to commemorate Argentina's independence from Spain which began in May 1810 .We took the obligatory photo of the famous (Casa Rosada) Presidential Palace from where Evita stood on the balcony to talk to the people. We saw the white scarves painted around The Piramide de Mayo which is an obelisk in the middle of the square, this is where the wives and mothers of 'the disappeared' march every Thursday in memory of their relatives who disappeared up until 1983 and still haven't been found, alive or dead...

L´Air De Temps

Advantages: Pretty bottle, good value, smells lovely
Disadvantages: Might not suit everyone, not a night-time scent

...I've been looking for a new perfume for ages now, and decided to stop being so fussy! My sister was going shopping anyway, so I gave her £30 and told her to come back with a new perfume for me. She came back with L'Air Du Temps by Nina Ricci. It's French, but I don't know what it means. Temps means.. day? Temps en temps is from time to time, temps means time, but it doesn't make sense, so day? Oh I'm not even going to bother trying to translate it - it's the Easter holidays and my brain's turned to mush! The picture illustrating this perfume isn't the same as mine. Mine is in an glass bottle, shaped like the bottom half of an hour-glass. It has an embossed picture of two doves on the front of it, and a frosted curved lid. It looks very classy and expensive, and will definitely look impressive on your bathroom shelf (I always seem...

Review of Nina Ricci L'Air De Temp

Hotel Madero Not the best Location In Buenos Aries

Advantages: Waterfront ,Modern , walking Distance to Cafe and Restaurants
Disadvantages: Characterless Area , with a lot of Modern looking Apartments and Hotels

...I visit Argentina a lot , this Area has been re built from Old Warehouses and Docklands with some nice Restaurants and New Hotels. It is by the waterfront and compared to the rest of Buenos Aries is a bit without Character something missing , Clinical even !. The best area to stay is Recoleta. The Hotel itself is a Sofitel and is very good , it is an upmarket Hotel but for the price you pay you can get better and Cheaper in a nicer area , (I have stayed in 3 star hotels here that give just as good a service and rooms are equally as nice) I could not fault the rooms or the service, it is Modern /Contemporary . Restaurants good but you can eat better and Cheaper in the restaurants around Town. Clothes are cheaper than Europe you can get some good deals on Designer makes You can walk from here to shops etc but it is a bit too far...

Review of Hotel Madero, Buenos Aires

MUY BUENO.

Advantages: Interesting mixture of tastes and textures.
Disadvantages: None.

...---KINDER BUENO WHITE--- I adore Kinder Bueno, Kinder eggs, happy hippo, and all their other types of chocolate. I have the Kinder Bueno original bars quite often; I love the fluffy centre to them and the rich milk chocolate coating. So when I spotted the 'NEW Kinder Bueno White' I just had to try it. - Basically the new white Kinder Bueno is a 'Happy Hippo' in disguise'. So for all the grown-ups out there who are too embarrassed to be seen buying and eating the little hippo, this comes as a great alternative. We picked these up at Woolies when buying our new chrome Russell Hobbs kettle yesterday. They always have the 'impulse buys' close to the till and low down for little hands to grab and pass to mum to buy for them. Anyway, they cost 49p per pack and they did look very inviting going by the illustration on the front...

Review of Kinder Bueno

"I will return and I will be millions."

Advantages: a fabulous district to visit
Disadvantages: all tourists agree

..., which are essentially mass market tourist traps. Recoleta is also home to several art museums, including Museo de Arte Decorativo, Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes, and the Cultural Centre (Centro Cultural) which neighbours the cemetery on Junín 1930, and hosts musical, theatre and creative art exhibits. RESTAURANTS Across Plaza Francia from the church, stands a row of good continental-style restaurants, all with umbrella-ed garden seating areas bustling with birdlife. I was particularly impressed with Buller's, a micro-brewery / pub / restaurant, which offers a large selection of unusual beers, such as honey and Oktoberfest style, and an extensive range of light meals, including spectacular salads complete with inventive homemade breads. It has a relaxed, yet still chic (this is Buenos Aires after all), atmosphere and is highly...

A rush of Kenzo Air 50ml eau de toilette for men

Advantages: This will make you smell irrisistable
Disadvantages: None i can think of

...Takeda Kenzo is a Japanese designers that moved to Paris during the 1970's where he launched his collection. He managed to be the first to mix Eastern With Western. His launched Kenzo in 1988. I first smelled this men's perfume when reading men's health magazine. I absolutely loved it from the moment I smeared the free tester on my neck. I placed it on at night and could still smell it the next morning. This was about eight hours by now. This perfume is ideal for wearing to any occasion, as it is not overpowering when wearing it. I usually wear it all the time no matter what the occasion. Whether going shopping, out for a few drinks or even to work this cologne would be a winner. It would also be ideal for a dinner, as it will have your woman all over you. Like a lynx affect so I will call it a 'rush of air'. Kenzo has...

Review of Kenzo Air Eau de Toilette Spray

Not really fit for an emperor

Advantages: Great position, huge rooms and bathroom
Disadvantages: Little storage in bedrooms and food and drink VERY expensive

...The hotel is on the Avenida del Libertador in the Recoleta district of Buenos Aires and is situated within walking distance of most areas in Buenos Aires and is close to the main railway station. The entrance is modern looking with gold revolving doors and there is at least one doorman at all times to welcome you in. The lobby is quite spacious and very well appointed, there are flower arrangements on tables which are fresh and look welcoming. The reception desk is on the left as you walk in to the hotel and they will also change money at a reasonable rate here. On the right hand side is an open looking bar with comfortable seats and tables. At the back of the hotel, through the lobby is the restaurant which is actually quite small for the size of hotel. This is where we had our breakfasts but we did not eat in the hotel other than...
