Zog – Frozen Yogurt in Palermo
New Year’s resolutions don’t seem to be a big thing in Argentina. However, some of you may be on a calorie count to shed the gluttony of the holidays. It’s tough with all of the ice cream (helado) shops beckoning you with creamy treats and air conditioning. Not to fear, there is an alternative that […]
Te Mataré Ramírez – Restaurante Afrodisiaco
Has a menu ever made you blush? If not, you likely haven’t been to Te Matare Ramirez, an erotic themed restaurant.

Café y Pizza al paso en Constitución.
Un barrio que no respeta la constitución. Para mi, que vivo en Adrogué, es fácil llegar a este barrio. A pocas cuadras de mi casa se encuentra la estación de trenes que se dirigen hacia allí.
