roast my itinerary! heading in this week, first time

Help me audit my general plans for 8 days in BA. Wife and I are coming in to celebrate 20 years of marriage. I’ve tried to build some places I’d like to go based off TikToks, Dreaming Spanish and other travel blogs, a little Claude help, and literally just zooming around on Google Maps.

We’re big foodies, enjoy walking, wine and cocktails, music, shows, and exploring. My Spanish (Castellano?) is fairly basic, and I’d love some tips on basic reusable phrases (sigo con el castellano, un poco mas despacio por favor?).

Ok so - restaurants we’d like to check out:

- Cuervo for coffee and medialunas
- Don Julio (I know, I know, but don’t judge yet - we’re going anyway just to say we did, ha)
- Casa Dingo
- COWI
- CoChinChina
- Keyaki (omakase)
- Victor Audio Bar
- Moshu
- Barrio Chino
- MUSGO
- El Federal
- Salon 1923 at sunset
- Floreria Atlantico

Places we’d like to go:
- Museo Evita
- BeBop Club
- Feria San Telmo (and the wine window heh)
- El Zanjon de Granados
- Plaza de Mayo
- Casa Rosada
- El Ateneo
- Tango Porteño
- Recoleta Cemetery
- Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes
- Floralis Generica
- see a Boca Juniors match (we’ve got a guide bringing us in)

And just help me confirm I should bring cash in addition to my US Visa credit card, mostly use Cabify over Uber or something else, and what’s good for tipping generously?
