I don't much like going out at night alone, and it makes it a little harder here that things don't kick off til around midnight (easier for me to make excuses and just sleep). Can someone recommend places to go that are welcoming for a solo female? Ie. places I can meet other people without their being slobbery drunk and aggressive? Places I can sit alone without being hassled? I am interested in seeing a tango show but worry they won't have a spot for one person. Are there tours you would recommend? I am staying in Palermo (Soho) and am 30, if that helps. Thanks ^
Welcome to FT!
My girlfriend and I just returned from EZE, and had a wonderful time. We didn't do a lot of the nightlife, but sloppy drunk people seemed to be less of a problem than in the US.
I did have an idea though:
In
this thread iahphx recommends (and nytango agrees) an airport driver named dante who has a website at:
http://dantesairporttransfers.hazedaze.com/
I have no familiarity with Dante, but I notice that he also teaches tango and is available to escort ladies to milongas (dance halls) to experience tango. He does seem to have a photo gallery of smiling (if a bit mature) clients. He might be perfect for showing you some of the cool local tango and ensuring that you are not hassled (further since he is being paid, he would likely not have his feelings hurt if you did hit it off with someone and decided that three was a crowd.
).
