Ok, I've said it before and I'll say it again, this city never sleeps. Brianna and I have been out every night except for one and have progressively stayed out later. Unlike the rest of BA, however, we like to get our sleep on. We have only been up once before 3pm this whole trip - luckily it stays light until 10! There isn't a whole lot of incentive to wake up too early, as you can hit the main sites in BA in the first 2 days.
On Thursday night, we had a delicious dinner with my friend Miriam at Bar Uriarte and then hit up a cool (rockabilly?!) club called Mundo Bizzaro - it definitely felt like a night out in San Francisco. See above - b&m dressed as twins that night. HOTT!!! Highlight was the candy girl who was trying to sell lighted knickknacks. She was at least EIGHTY years old (and I'm being generous here). Also, there was a couple who made out (standing up the whole time, nonetheless) for at least an hour and a half straight IN THE BAR. Earlier in the evening, two different couples were spied accosting each other in very public places. Needless to say, PDA is a national pastime here.
Brianna and I hit up a fun dance club called Kika the next night and danced until the sun came up. Music mix was pretty decent and there were several dudes with mullets (which means this is where the cool kids and cute chicas hang out).
Last night, after a very yummy Italian dinner (gnocchi!) at Sotto Voce with 10 folks, B&I hit up a different club called Honduras and it felt like we were in a completely different world. Not sure if there are any bridges or tunnels that lead to BA, but if so, this bar's clientele would best be described as 'b&t'. Brianna said it best, "If that is what the country of Honduras is like, I don't ever need to visit Honduras".
They say Sunday brunch at Olsen in Palermo Hollywood is a must. I agree. Yum. Cute waitresses, great patio, lots of fun boys, delicious Norwegian food. WAFFLES with no beef added!!!!!
Here are some other random observances from our time in BA:
- Dogs can crap pretty much anywhere they want - no rules here about picking it up
- Red lights mean stop...... or maybe go..... depends on your mood
- Taxi cabs don't turn their lights on and rely on the city lights (and Jebus) for guidance
- If you want the best service in town, head to the McDonald's on Scalabrini Ortiz at 5am. Ask for Maria. Note: eating at McD's can cause a serious case of what the locals call McDiarrea.
Ciao for now. Next post will come from Patagonia. Hope everyone has a nice work week. GOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
