I’m going to be going to Buenos Aires for a week and wonder if any Dopers have any advice. I’ve purchased the “Rough Guide to Argentina” already.

Gosh, I have not been in BA for over twenty years. All the girls I knew … well never mind.

Great town for eating out. Steaks are a local specialty, so is super Italian food. Check out the antiques also.

I will leave it to others to give you more than these generalities.

Eat your bodyweight in steaks.  
See someone dance the tango.
