Buenos Aires: Faded Elegance, High Design

Buenos Aires’s up-and-coming San Telmo neighborhood.

I haven’t heard anything good. LaBan gave it one bell: http://www.philly.com/philly/restaurants/20071209_City_Grange.html I liked the concept too, but like Farmacia, it doesn’t matter what the concept is if the food...

Philadelphia Fish and Co. is surprisingly good as is Estia. Hope you fare better at Farmacia than we did...

do’s seem to be La Vineria, 647 Dinner Club, Camarico, La Brigada and La Farmacia. Possibly Juana M. Not very interested in trekking up to Palermo. What is best in Puerto Madera – preferably fish? Katrine? Does any...

of the farmacia on the street that radiates off the zocalo from the corner where Casa di la Abuela is—one block west of the zocalo (speaking of which, their food is pretty mediocre. I had some hideous chiles rellenos...

OK, I can help a little. If you’re from LA (LAWoman) then take off El Vez — you already have amazing Mexican food in LA. L’Angolo and Caffe Casta Diva are both good BYO Italian. If you have reservations for...

Hey there, LA hound here looking for some good Philly restaurant suggestions. One of my buddies (who lives in Center City) is getting married in a couple of weeks and I thought it would be fun to give the happy couple a few (4-5)...

. You get a lot of high quality food for the money so bring a big appetite. I’m not a big fan of Farmacia and have been there a number of times for work lunches. The service is usually super slow.

place Race Street Cafe. I’ve had great brunches lately at Farmacia but can’t vouch for it as a dinner spot. Also, Campos is great for a cheesesteak, hoagie, or other italian sandwich.

Viridiana is awesome. Botin is good for suckling pig, yes its touristy but the pig is good there Casa Lucio is a must, very traditional and you might run into some celebrities there Haven´t been to the others... As far as additions:...

I’m looking for somewhere to celebrate this Wednesday in center city. Price range is moderate (not looking for LaCroix, Le Bec Fin, etc. expensive) or a little above and would like it to be quiet, not showy atmosphere. Any...

@ La Huerta. Sweetbreads from either of the Bakeries. Cool/Strange Chachkies from FARMACIA MILLION DOLLAR next store on the corner of Broadway/3rd.

if possible, but this is certainly okay. Places that have come up (and I have no idea if a reservation would even be possible at this late date): Bliss, Farmacia, Estia, Horizons and Ansill. I think they will eat almost any...

, however, is still good after all these years, but I don’t know that I’ll be going back anytime soon. Have others had similar experiences? The ironic thing is that we attended after Craig LaBan’s talk at the...

Absolutely drive across the border to Arturo’s and park in their lot. Also good is La Fogata, where you should get the mixed grill and charro beans. There are dining rooms up over several of the larger stores, most notably...
