Just finished up a great 3 day stay in BA! 1st time, wonderful city, very European in nature but I'd say more laid back, more "green" feeling, just a great experience. Everyone I encountered was nice, helpful, and full of life.
Great dinners at La Cabrera, iLatina, and Cocina Sunae...nice mix of tastes & experiences. iLatina truly deserves its #1 ranking on Trip Advisor.
Lunched at Las Nazarenas, Social Paraiso, and Broccolino. Good options all depending on your mood.
Took a bike tour (the South) w/Urban Bikes - Gonzalo was a great guide, was a very informative and spirited 4 hours. Highly recommend it to anyone who wants to get a broad taste of the city and avoid the tour buses.
Stayed at the Park Tower in Retiro, but in addition to the biking tour in the South, walked through Recoleta to the cemetary, on to Palermo Viejo for shopping & browsing, and all over Microcentro (not sure where that starts and Retiro stops).
Got lucky with great weather all week.
