Empanadas Empanadas Empanadas!
by Randyi66
You've got to try the empanadas in Buenos Aires. They are the best. Beef, chicken, cheese, corn, spinach... whatever! The best kind are wrapped in a nice flaky dough that is nicely fried or baked with just enough filled to make them plump and muy rico! My favorite were from a place called Gourmet Empanadas that my friends found for us. The only problem is I don't know where they are located! Boo hoo! Eating empanadas to top off a great meal at a Chinese restaurant! Hah!

Carlos Gardel
by Bjorgvin
Carlos Gardel was born in France in 1890. He came to Buenos Aires with his mother at the age of two and was to become the most famous tango singer of all time. Gardel was already a famous singer in Argentina before he turned his attention to tango. For the Porteños (as citizens of Buenos Aires are sometimes called) he was the ideal tango singer, personifying the rise of the tango to the heights of fashionable society. Gardel was killed in a plane crash in 1935.
San Yisidro by train
by obcbreeze
Take the scenic train that runs down the coast and get off at the San Yisidro stop. You'll think you're in Bravaria. The architecture reminds you of southern Germany. There are arts and crafts vendors, priced much more reasonably then in Buenos Aires.
b1bob's Buenos Aires shopping tip nº2
by b1bob about Abasto
We went to this shopping centre called Abasto whose name means, appropriately enough, "supply" or "abundance". This shopping centre- once a railroad station (The cavernous ceilings are somewhat reminiscent of Philadelphia's 30th Street station.)- is a lot like the Galerias Pacifico, but much further away. I had bought all I wanted anyhow- some t-shirts for me, some WHATNOTS (miscellaneous little things) for Mama, and even a shot glass for daddy. Alex wanted a drink, but I didn't care for one at that time. Alex had me try this thing called CHIPÁ (balls of cheese bread not much different in flavour to the Brazilian "pões de queijo" or "cheese breads" for those of y'all in Roxboro). You can find nearly anything here. Among the key tenants is a grocery and record store. With a mall this size, various price ranges are accommodated.
