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.
Getting caught up, really. This will bring us to just two days ago and tomorrow’s post will bring us right up to date. And, as an added bonus, you get to have me more or less reverse my opinion on two places! And you can imagine how often that happens, right? For years we’ve been… Read More Four More Bites! Four More Bites!
No, I’m not putting on weight – I’m getting in good exercise each day in the morning and again in the afternoon, and just because I’m putting up pictures of massive amounts of food doesn’t mean that I’m a) finishing each and every plate, and b) doing it by myself – there’s some splitting going… Read More Shall We Bite Some More?
May as well just continue with these, they’re piling up fast (it’s what happens when you have a very short window of time and a whole lot of reviews to get to). First up, into the Spanish restaurant enclave that surrounds the Congreso area. I thought I’d start with some history, El Imparcial, Hipolito Yrigoyen… Read More Four More Bites
Another round of mini-reviews as I work on the dining section for the next edition of the travel guide. It’s a little more intense this time and I’m not able to pack away what I normally might as I’m kind of hitting one place for lunch and one for dinner over a couple of week… Read More Another Three Bites
Coming up over the next few weeks there will probably be a bunch more mini-reviews. It’s time for the next round of the Fodor’s dining guide updates. New editor, slightly different setup, definitely less time to try to pack in what there is to review, especially because these days Casa S tends to be open… Read More Three Casual Bites
After yesterday’s post I needed a break all over again, but luckily, I had one planned for after the dinners. Being a holiday weekend and having had all the extra private parties, we’d decided to take a four-day break and have a Saturday through Tuesday off. Henry wanted to have a party for a group… Read More Day Trip to the Tigre
Neither Henry nor I spend as much time as we used to in La Plata. I get tired of the family visits where we all sit around and do nothing but chat about people I don’t know. On Henry’s side, though his sister, niece and nephew are still there, several of his friends who used… Read More A Bite of Peru in La Plata
Families are a funny thing. Sometimes they stick together, sometimes they repel each other, sometimes they remember, sometimes they forget. I started on the trail of the family Helueni when I noted that there were a few listings for various Syrian-Jewish restaurants and bakeries that included the surname. In one or another Arabic dialect it… Read More On The Confectioners’ Trail
