Default Re: Ask TheMetetron about living in or visiting Buenos Aires, Argentin

I mostly agree with Meteron about Canitas. It does have some good restaurants (maybe overpriced) and on a Fri/Sat you can't beat the girls, it is ridiculous. But the bars suck hard and most the restaurants are generic.

As far as the Palermos go... Chico shouldn't be included in the subset. It is pretty much all residential. It's the nicest area in the entire city, with blocks of 7 figure houses full of diplomats and old money. I am not sure how to really distinguish Viejo and Soho. Soho (where I live) prolly has better restaurants. Viejo has more resto/bar types with tapas and picadas. Soho (on the North side of Juan B Justo) is developing really fast, so I think the yuppy factor is bigger here, while viejo still has a little of middle class/family with kids feel to it. Bar wise, I am not sure which is better. Viejo has more boutiques and shopping in general. I am def partial to Soho, but that is probably biased.
