Stay Confirmed: Alvear Art Hotel (Recoleta)
Review: very nice, comfortable, clean, spacious rooms - got on chase points - but not the best location. It's not dangeorus, there's just not a lot going on.
Would recommend ubering to neighborhoods like Palermo, etc rather than walking - or staying elsewhere for location's sake.		Confirmed: Los Ponchos
Really cute bed & breakfast		Confirmed - Arelauquen Lodge
Booked on Em's points #74701575
Had originally booked the Panamericano (Also Marriott) but it was old and not very nice - would not recommend staying downtown,! The Arelauquen is fantastic and owned by marriott, A+		Park Hyatt - Booked via Chase Points
Chase Travel itinerary number: 72219990308404
Perfect - well-located, super nice and comfortable as well as affordable		Alpasion Lodge (Glamping Dome)
Booked via Chase Points
Really cool, would recommend for a night - but the Vines is truly the nicest hotel i've ever seen, if you have the opportunity to stay, do it!

PM12:00MALBA - 3-floor Modern Art Museum, has Frida Kahlo & Diego Rivera pieces. Budget ~1.5 hours. Closed Tuesdays.
the grande dame of the art scene is still the MALBA (admission, 280 pesos) with its focus on Latin American art. This permanent collection is diverse and comprehensive, new exhibits are thought-provoking and there’s plenty of anticipation for what’s to come from the newly appointed artistic director, Gabriela Rangel. The shop sells great art books, a fun selection of ceramic housewares and beautiful leather bags by homegrown companies like Le Bas. (NYT)		12: 00 Lunch at Paesano - Confirmed
One of the best meals of our lives - such a gorgeous lunch prepared by a family at their home, dining in a private area out by a creek/river. tons of wine, such good food - so memorable!

3:00San Telmo Market - only on Sundays!
There's an outdoor and indoor component to the market, the streets are set up like a street fair with various vendors selling clothes, candles, souveniers etc - go to the indoor market, which is packed with food stands and tons of people sitting around drinking beer and eating small plates. We went to La Choripaneria, which is always very busy, but we found 2 seats at the end of the bar and had Choripan (basically a chorizo sandwich.)
Recocleta Cemetery tour Free Walking Tour, only Mondays & Fridays
A must-see in BA - would recommend having a tour guide (it says "Free" walking tour but it's actually $10 USD Per Person) - there's so many urban legends and ghost stories the guide will share, makes the experience 10x better! Grave of Eva Peron (Evita)		Shopping: La Galeria Patio Del Liceo - Bought 2 nice bottles of wine at Bebe Vino, sunglasses and earrings at a cute sustainable products shop. (ER)
Backpacks made from parachutes, scrapbook workshops, block-printed makeup bags, linen jumpsuits, tarot readings: You’ll find all this under the roof of the Galería Patio del Liceo, a fabulously fun place on bustling Avenida Santa Fe. There’s a courtyard with tables and a coffee bar, and, one floor up, Bebé Vino, a small wine shop and bar stocked with adventurous bottles from offbeat producers, all picked by the co-owners, Martín Bruno, winner of too many prestigious sommelier awards to count, and his partner, Victoria García, an artist. They’ll open bottles for impromptu tastings or give you a glass of cordisco to drink as you wander around the shops, returning to pick up a few choice bottles to bring home. (NYT)
3pm massagesRent bikes, bike to Lake Argentino.
Gorgeous blue water - was windy the day we went so bring a windbreaker!

6:00AirBNB Street Food Tour 6pm-9:30 RestCerro de la Gloria. The hill’s switchback trail takes just 15 minutes (or you can run up like some fit locals) and ends in a spectacular monument commemorating Gen. José de San Martín, who led Argentina, Peru and Chile in a revolution against Spain. The fabulous views of the city to the east include the stadium; to the west is a sprawling mountain range. The surrounding park is popular with Mendocinos playing soccer and picnicking, and makes a great spot for a walk or run.Shopping in town - Cosset, Moht: Mendoza’s liveliest shopping and night-life street is the four-block stretch of Arístides Villanueva that runs from Belgrano to Paso de los Andes. Packed with busy restaurants, shops, cafes and craft beer bars with outdoor seating, this is where you can pick up trendy pieces by Argentine designers and get a sense of local life at the same time. At Cosset, a combination bookshop and clothing boutique, you’ll find jeans and soft knits for women from the trendy Buenos Aires brand Ríe, slinky dresses from Allo Martinez, and chunky jewelry from Cuatromusas as well as art supplies and books on film and graphic novels. Moht has Isabel O. slip-on shoes in colorful patterns and Lazaro handbags. Finally, at Espacio Aristides, pick up a pair of jeans from the hip Argentine label Ay Not Dead.

8:00Parilla Don Julio
https://www.theworlds50best.com/latinamerica/en/the-list/1-10/don-julio.html
This is considered an "expensive" meal as per BA standards, but compared to NYC, not bad at all. HUGE steaks - a major destination if you're looking to experience Argentinian steak. Sat inside to enjoy the vibe - give you prosecco upon seating & amazing Heirloom tomatoes with olive oil and salt. I honesly wasn't a huge fan of the Short Rib - super fatty - but ben liked his Ribeye, and I loved the Heirloom Tomato salad. The Argentinian red wine also fantastic.
Also 8pm considered an early dinner! 		Bomba De Tiempo
Monday night only - This is like Brooklyn mirage in buenos aires. The crowd is young and into it. So much fun, definitely do it if you're in BA on a Monday		Siete Fuegos (at the Vines Mendoza) - reserved for 8pm
(Francis Mallmann restaurant; watch Chef's Table Season 1) we did the famous BBQ which is only offered twice a week and then ate there another night for their regular menu https://vinesresortandspa.com/wine-dine/siete-fuegos-restaurant/

it's an epic production, but I actually didn't think the food was anything special - skip
The only recommendation I can make is that i cannot recommend the restaurants in El Calafate - not a restaurant destination.
Dinner @ Los Ponchos Hotel
El Boliche De Alberto - no reservations, both Parilla (BBQ) and Pasta. in town.
Joey recommendation. Really good steak!		 La Fonda Del Tio
TBDConfirmed - Fuerte y Fonda 9pm
https://fuenteyfonda.com/ - A local favorite, serving food like your abuela used to make, Fuente y Fonda serves enormous enamel dishes with entrees designed for two, including fresh pastas and a milanesa (breaded steak) topped with melted cheese, fresh tomatoes and ham. The appetizer of beef tongue, sliced thin and doused in olive oil, vinegar and garlic, is meltingly good, and the wine list does justice to Mendoza’s offerings; on a recent visit a blend of malbec, cabernet sauvignon and bonarda from Matías Michelini, a Mendoza wine star, was on offer. Save room for dessert, which is free, and don’t miss the moist, dense bread pudding (budín de pan) if it’s available; it comes with a healthy dollop of dulce de leche. Dinner for two, with wine, around 900 pesos.		TBD Dinner post wineries - hyatt or Diaana RecoEZE > ATL 9:15 DL 110

11:00 El Preferido de Palermo
Palermo
10:30
an elegant high-ceilinged restaurant with old-fashioned accents that the owner, Pablo Rivera (also the owner of nearby Don Julio, the famous steakhouse that you have to book months in advance, or queue for hours), has chosen to retain, like the drafty wood-outlined windows and the tile floor. The emphasis here is on traditional Argentine dishes. Start with a plate of housemade charcuterie (seen hanging in the glass-walled “cava” at the back of the restaurant), follow it with a roasted fish with capers, or an umami bomb of a lentil stew, add a glass or two of an orange wine, finish with an espresso and a plate of light crepes with dulce de leche. Really, you could be in Buenos Aires in 1950 and not much would have been different, which is exactly the point — and the charm. Lunch for two, around 3,000 pesos. (NYT)

Taxi to Patio de Los Lecheros - Lunch
When the weather is good, lines for the barbecue, fish, pizza and taco places can get long, but settle in with a craft beer, a glass of organic wine, or a Fernet and Coke (an Argentine classic) and wait for the crowds to thin. A D.J. spins, rows of rainbow umbrellas suspended over the courtyard add a festive air, and the whole atmosphere is laid-back and fun.
Just five minutes’ drive up the road brings you to Tupungato Divino, a small hotel with a restaurant and a garden that offers a spectacular view of the Andes, extensive fields and a babbling, man-made irrigating stream that runs right by tables shaded by grape-laden vines. The impressive wine collection of 150 vintages is sourced from nearby wineries, and the seasonal menu is fixed price, with a degustation of starters and desserts. From the list of entrees, opt for the lomo — the steak is served with a malbec reduction and cooked exactly to order; it’s an Argentine classic. Lunch for two, around 1,100 pesos.

Dolar Blue: https://landingpadba.com/money-argentina-exchange-rates-atm-withdrawals-credit-card/Reserve a spot at Bodega la Azul’s 11:30 a.m. tour and tasting before embarking on the stunning drive (about an hour and 15 minutes) down Route 40 to the Uco Valley, where some of the country’s most lauded bodegas grow their grapes. The drive south, with the Andes to your right, showing clear lines of demarcation where the snow stops, and fields of vines on either side, is breathtaking. Arrive at the tiny, charming bodega, which is the only 100 percent Argentine-owned winery in the area. Ezequiel Fadel Hinojosa, the owner and a third-generation winemaker, introduces visitors to his small-production sauvignon blanc (acidic because of the high altitude) and blends of malbec and cabernet sauvignon, with a stop in the small winery at the back where wine is produced in eight steel vats. The sofas in the garden restaurant make the perfect place to sit with a glass when you’re finished. Tour and tasting: 200 pesos.

Tango: For authentic tango go to “Barrancas de Belgrano “ at night
For a dose of authenticity, head to the Belgrano neighborhood to find the outdoor La Glorieta (no website, free admission), where couples of varying ages dance beneath the lights of an octagonal bandstand in the shadow of a high-rise apartment building. Women sit on the steps to change into their dedicated tango shoes before hitting the dance floor, while traditional tango songs fill the air.
