FWIW, if you stay away from meat and uncooked veggies you should be fine. And unboiled water. I'm sure there are lots of vegetarian dishes down there that are tasty. If you get meat, get it from a good restaurant. Source: my stomach, cheap food in asia and latin america.

A few tips:

Parque Ileras for nightlife, Plaza Oviedo/Tesoro Mall during the day. There is a museum in the center of town that's worth a look but don't dally after dark - it gets very dangerous there.

You have to go to Mango's - the most amazing club in Medellin. The eye candy alone is worth the trip. (google images for mangos medellin / paisa and you'll see what I mean)

Try the steak - amazing and dirt cheap.

Try taking the cablecar for a view of the city.

Check this page out for other stuff to see.

Ditto about the spanish - if you don't know spanish, at least pick up some.

I can get you the ph# of an english speaking cabbie if you need it. Are you getting picked up?

Thanks for this. Got picked up, had a great dinner on a cliff overlooking the city of fresh chorizo, fries, some tortilla thing and chocolate con queso which was WTF-y and awesome at the same time.

STEAK - that is ALL.

It's a beautiful country with lovely people. That said, don't go anywhere alone.

+1, crepes y waffles is very, very good.
