Thank you to BAIN Member Josh Johnson (known to most as MacDaddy) for the information about Pub Quiz! If you are looking for a nighttime challenge – join in the fun!
More information is available at buenosairespubquiz.com/, but here is an overview:
By quizmaster
The following rules apply:
Location: La Cigale: 25 de Mayo 597 (corner of Tucumán)
Need to know more…
For those of you who are not familiar with the concept, here is a little guide to help understand what is going on.
The First Rule of Pub Quiz
What is a Pub Quiz?
It’s a general knowledge quiz held in a pub, bar or café. The attendees form teams and one person (the Quizmaster) asks the questions split into rounds. At the end of each round the questions are marked and a score is given to each team. After all the questions have been asked the team with the most points wins. In the case of a draw a tiebreaker question is used. The winning team usually wins alcohol.
What sort of questions are there?
General Knowledge can cover everything from history to music to geography to sport to everything in between. They are designed to be not too difficult, but hard enough to generate debate! You can see the questions from previous Cigale Pub Quizzes here.
Are there any rules?
Not really, the idea is to have fun. Teams of up to 6 people are allowed and it’s a good idea not to shout the answer out too loud if you know it – you don’t want to help out the opposition! In a dispute, the Quizmaster’s decision is final!
When is the next quiz?
The date of the next quiz will be posted on this site as soon as it is confirmed. At the moment it is always on a Monday evening in La Cigale. You can also use thelatest tag to see the next date.
I’m organising my own Pub Quiz – can you help?
Of course – you can use the questions posted on this site for your own quiz – they are freely available. If you need anything else, drop me a line.
The BA Mamas and their kiddos are invited for a standing playdate every other Wednesday at my house from 10:00am-12:00pm, next up, Wednesday, October 3!
I have a good sized room that can be completely closed off, and it is full of little people toys. I thought we could get together in there and chat while the babies wander around and play to their heart’s content.
Join us this week!
Wednesday, October 3, 2012 from 10:00 to 12:00.
Come on by if you’re around.
I’ll put up a reminder every other week for the next playdate.
Email Niccole de Campos niccoledecampos@mac.com to RSVP and for address. See you Wednesday!

Honduras 6100 Palermo Hollywood, Buenos Aires
This cosy little corner café on the outskirts of Palermo Hollywood is a definite must for all lovers of trendy yet relaxed casual dining. Located close to BA’s famous antique market, Mercado de las Pulgas, this chic establishment is the ideal place to sit back, share a dish or two with friends and watch the eclectic mix of BA socialites sip espresso’s and openly discuss their latest plastic surgery procedure.
While the inside section of this cafe restaurant is very classy with high ceilings, old hanging lamps and chalk boards displaying the ‘platos de dias’, the main draw card is the amazing roof top garden and alfresco dining area. Large, comfy lounges contrasted with antique steel chairs create an idyllic environment, perfectly tailored for the BA sunshine. I would recommend getting there before 12 on a weekend as it is slowly starting to become more and more popular with locals looking to steal an afternoon away in the sun…I even saw someone bring sunscreen lotion today
The food is exceptional! Freshly baked pizzas, a multitude of sandwich combinations, tasty tapas dishes, sizeable mains and sumptuous cakes (check out the dessert counter when you walk in) make it worth the journey alone but the stand out is the brunch. Served Sunday’s until 2pm and costing $170 ARS per person (around £24), this mammoth feast surely has something for everyone. Included is granola, fresh tropical fruit, yoghurt, toast, scrambled eggs and bacon, fajitas (chicken and beef), scones with jam and cream, coffee and orange juice…it’s amazing!!! They also have a top selection of fresh juices as well as signature juice combinations such as lemon/mint and orange/passion fruit…they’re delish!
Overall – Decata Palermo Hollywood is a fantastic place to take a load off and enjoy great food and great company all while relaxing in the BA sunshine…aces in my book and will continue to return! You can find them on Facebook here – http://www.facebook.com/DecataPalermo
