pros:
a lot of great cheap restaurants
San Telmo and most of La Boca
a lot of attractive people to ogle

cons:
dog poop city
drivers trying to kill you
La Caminito in la boca (who knew Disney owned part of Argentina?)
this goes against what I heard before I went, but I found there were a lot of incredibly rude and unfriendly people (as opposed to Salta where everybody was great)

Like:
Nice architecture, Great history, Tenedor Libre for 3$, Ugi's pizza, A lot to do and see, beautiful women, generally nice people

Dislike:
The incredibly wide streets, the heat in december, dulce de leche, argentinian breakfast (or the lack of), dog shit, could be safer (got robbed), some rude people (surprisingly, mostly in hotels and restaurants)

BUENOS AIRES IS FOR ME, THE BLEND/FUSION OF NEW YORK CITY AND PARIS.---
I like mostLY everything except perhaps the pollution and the widening gap between the wealthy 'portenos' and others that are underprivileged.... this widening gap can cause social unrest--- strikes, protests on the street, riots etc....

Loves: The football, San Telmo on a Sunday, The walking, The food stalls on Costanera del Sur. The atmosphere. Yes, The coffee. The nightlife.

Fascinated by: The cats around the Plaza Miserere, The hordes of people in the centre after midnight.

Dislikes: The traffic, The mosquito plague when I was there, the feeling of dread when, having ordered mollejas because I couldn't face another huge steak, I was given a portion of sixteen sweetbreads on the one plate.

Questions: With the quantities of food and the size of the bottles of beer they drink why aren't all Portenos built like Maradona.

I forgot to say how much I love Baires' trees especially lapachos with their pink or violet flowers
