    Furnishings

    When it comes to kitchen furniture I recommend Johnson, the quality is premium although the prices are a little high, it is worth it. https://johnsonacero.com/cocinas/

    Argentina sees sharpest drop in beef consumption for 30 years!

    Yes, that's what's happening now. I know because I also have local friends who tell me how difficult it is to access meat nowadays, so they just opt to buy chicken or pork. https://www.batimes.com.ar/news/economy/beef-consumption-in-argentina-plummets-to-historic-lows.phtml

    Food & Drink Can you recommend any breakfast spots in Palermo that open early (8am or 9am or earlier), or any activities to do at that time?

    Salvaje opens at 8 and it's seriously amazing. Birkin, Cuervo Cafe, Kajue Cafe all open at 9. If you're up early, Rosedal opens at 8 and Jardin Botanico at 9. Oh, and the super cool Eterna Cadencia bookstore with a café opens at 9 too! https://maps.app.goo.gl/xo37tw4NsB6Y3rec7...

    Newcomer What would it be like to live in Buenos Aires earning dollars?

    Now it's expensive; it's not as budget-friendly anymore. You'll live comfortably but on a tight budget.

    Newcomer What are you biggest complaints about living in Argentina?

    Have you previously used a different username? Your style of questioning is reminiscent of someone else I've encountered before.
