Bor, I own two apts in the recoleta, one off of Alvear and the other off of Quintana. You should've told me...
There are tons of places to eat in the area. Food is DIRT cheap with the U$S, as the currect FX rate is 3:1. Asado's rock! I was actuqally in that neighborhood in December. As you're going soon, take the boat to Punta Del Este. Amazing beaches and you'll be close to Montevideo. When you get there, visit aerolineasargentinas.com and tou'll get airfare w/i the country for 1/3 that price roundtrip. Mar del plata, pinamar, villa gissel, baleria, all rock!
