Restaurant reviews – the opinions expressed are solely my own. Often, though it will appear that they’re based on a single visit, they’re based on more than one. And I’m willing to hear from folks who disagree – I do know that restaurants, including my own, have their off days.
Buenos Aires – Back home and just out for a wander – not too far from home as it’s a rather brisk day and Mom Nature is threatening rain. Spotted an interesting looking spot on a corner. Érin is a decent sized duplex “resto-bar” at French 2929, corner of Bollini, in Palermo. It has a… Read More Design and Delicious
Buenos Aires – Satuday was one of those gorgeous, you must be outside, sort of days.

Buenos Aires – Yesterday was Maureen’s last day visiting and it was a day for her to get done all the shopping she’d been promising herself all week.
