Does anyone know if there are any decent bars serving Guinesss in the Dominican republic? I now there is one in Sosua, but I will be in Santo Domingo and the south towards Punta Cana/ La Romana... I love a nice cold "vestida de novia" presidente, but a Guinesss a day is very good for you ( blood pressure)- my mum told me so so it has to be right!!! Anyway-I am having a hard time finding any bars that serve it-I've been to Santo Domingo a number of times with no luck on this point.... any ideas anyone?? thanks MIke
Wow, that's a toughie. I'll ask for you but I think you might end up going to a big supermarket and buying it there.
oh wow... how weird... in every country I've ever been to there has always been at least two or three Irish bars in the main cities... I guess Presidente has everything all sewn up in the D R... thanks for trying though!
Hey Mike, I couldn't find anywhere where Guinness was sold. Sorry :(
Besides comfortable shoes and clothing and a water bottle (or 2), a good map of the Old Town is good to have if you want to know where you walked by or information in general. A good one can be found at Colonial Zone. They have a printable version and the one on the link, where you can click on the numbers to find out about the places.
Dominicans love stew Goat meat and Michelangelo Restaurant is consider the best places to eat this exotic dish. Goats in some providance are fed oregano plants so the Goat would absorb the oregano during the feeding.
Michelangelo is a International and Seafood Gourmet Restaurant, but 8 years ago they were requested to make this dish for a going away party and the owners which are chefs and head cooks decided to make this dish with a french twist and fine red wine and it's one of the most famous dish on the island.
Michelangelo Restaurant is located on Roberto Pastoriza and Winston Churchill in Piantini in Santo Domingo Dominican Republic this is the web site www.michelangelochef.com. Telephone 809-566-3863 and 829-343-7187
When it comes to desserts, we have a lot to choose from besides the traditional cake with yummy fillings and frosting. Some of these hidden gems in the Dominican cuisine are:
- Conconetes: a conconete is basically a soft biscuit made with brown sugar and grated coconut. This was a simple thing to eat together with cherry or raspberry soda when I was child. They can be found on colmados.
- Dulce de 3 leches: my personal favorite, a cake made of 3 milks (hence the name): evaporated milk, condensed milk and regular (whole) milk. The cake doesn't have butter, which makes it have a consistency sort of like sponge cake but it doesn't get soggy even after being soaked with the 3 milks.
- Arepa: it's a sort of cake made of coconut milk and corn flour. It's normally made in an iron pot on top of hot coal, then it's covered with a metal lid with more hot coal on top.
- Flan: flan is so popular that it used to be sold in cans, ready to eat, being the most common the caramel one. I've also seen, but not as often, coconut flan.
Tourist enjoy going to beaches, resorts, meuseums, historical sites.... I'm glad I didn't visit the Dominican as a tourist cause I would've missed out on ALOT! Los Mameyes is one of the many poor neighborhoods in Santo Domingo where we focused our work on. The people there are just amazing! Los mameyes sits right beside the ocean so the cool breeze blows in... talk to some of the people there and they'll welcome you and treat you wonderfully! To see the best of the people, visit a poor neighborhood, walk around for a while and you'll find that you have a friend in all of them! Hang out with the children and play with them! You'll brighten up their day!
I assume there should be some good record stores in SD, but we did not see any. However, music was everywhere, as well as CD street vendors (illegal copies of course, but nobody seemed to worry about).
