Buenos Aires in November

Heading down to Buenos Aires and then to Cordoba to dove hunt for 3 day and then back for a few days. What are some can't miss things? Is there a certain area that is better to stay in?
TIA

You are in for a treat. The trees will be in full bloom. We are planning to
go back next November to see them and hunt.
I always stay in Palermo. The scenery is excellent if you get my drift.
Don Julio is overrated. Its sister restaurant however is excellent and if they have the heirloom tomato carpaccio still on the menu it is a must have dish.
Order your steaks ‘jugoso’ for medium rare. The Argentinians typically cook their steaks more done.
Argentinians usually eat dinner around 10PM.
Very European city. Argentina is maybe my favorite country. I typically hunt with 4 Seasons which is 2 hours north of BA.
The huge cemetery La Recoleta is really cool to see. Take in a tango show somewhere. Other than that I recommend just wandering around the city and falling into places.
If you are a man on the prowl for adult activities the city can cater to that also.
For the birds: Pace yourself and remember you can’t shoot them all when you start hunting. Listening to music while hunting is a good option.

You do not want your hotel room to face the sun. I was in Chile in February and had to spend daylight hours either in the lounge or trying to cool off on my bathroom floor. Floor to ceiling windows that got baked all day.

I’ll be there in November as well. You want to stay in Palermo if you can in BA.
Can’t miss is eating at Parilla like Don Julio, getting Italian and Argentine style pizza like at Guerrin, La Boca during the day and seeing a tango performance. San Telmo Market, walking Puerto Madero, Recoleta Cemetery is a big attraction.
Palermo is where all the night life is and most of the best restaurants and bars.

Hippie fricking central. Greenpeace idiots handing out flyers every couple of blocks on the main drag with the canal/river running through it. Heavy culture of getting some booze at a bodega and sitting on the canal in the grass. There's interesting architecture in places, but not mind blowing.
You get a dose of the poverty as you're leaving the airport, with shanties on the airport side of the river. Dinners are ... LATE. I was working with people from Peru, Brazil, and a few other SA countries, and didn't hear them say anything cross about Chileans (although we were trying to sell work to a Chilean bank
)

Have done Argentina a few times now.
It’s important to understand the history of the Argentine Peso. In short; it’s not good and the people are both naturally distrusting of their banks and their currency. And for good reason.
Pay in cash; most places will charge a 10-25% surcharge for using cards.
Buenos Aires is the most European city outside of Europe. From the architecture to the people and cuisine. It’s an absolute joy to visit.
Book a day tour of the city on Viator. Visit the San Telmo Market. Eat Provoleta and Choripan. Bring Dulce de Leche home. There’s many amazing restaurants there; but, Fogon Asado remains my fav. I like to stay in the historic center especially if on the weekend. The city’s historic center is virtually empty on weekends as most people live in the suburbs. You’ll have the place to yourself until 10-11AM. Take in a soccer game if given the chance. A night with River Plate or Boca Juniors is something you wont soon forget. You think LSU fans are loud? Go to El Monumental and listen to the River fans…

I've been about four times. we've always stayed in Recoleta (Alvear Palace, Park Hyatt, and a few times at much cheaper places near the cemetery).
Have had steaks twice at Fervor and it was outstanding. Great late night old school steakhouse. Had Italian a few times at Sottovoce and enjoyed both meals.
First time there we did the horse races and a mid-day tour of La Boca. Also went to a taco joint in Palermo that was good
