Definetely go to El Conde,...

  • Definetely go to El Conde, thats the place to go for food, and for meeting lots of people, and discovering the wonders of the old Santo Domingo. Also for good food go to Adrians Tropical Food: I think that is the best place to go and have MOFONGO, mofongo is made of mashed green bananas(platanos)with almost everything you can think of. And, for a more Domincan type of eating go to El Conuco.That is a typical name which means fields.

    The thing i miss the most is the people that live there, the happiness they share, and the way they make you feel welcome as if your one of their very own family.

  • Dinner at Vesuvio Restaurant and take a car and walk ride by the old and romantic 'Colonial Zone' and 'Avenida del Puerto', after go to the many popular Pops and Cafes at the Linconl's Av. area.

    The Carnaval atmosphere all the year, the merengue music, the charming of the people and of course the food.

    Dominicans like enjoying a glass of sugar cane juice on a hot day. Not only is it delicious but it helps cleanse the kidneys. Before there used to be a lot of sellers selling the juice in tricycles but as of Feb 2008 I only saw one at El Malecón but the juice can be bought at the big supermarkets. When I was a child I also used to eat sugar cane with my friends. You peel it (we left that to the adults), then you take a bite, chew it and suck the juice and then you spit it out. What can't be eaten plus the skin is taken to make paper - or at least it was then, so nothing from the sugar cane was wasted. Sugar cane was a big deal for us during the colonial times and at one point we produced sugar for export. Now, as far as I know, we only produce it for internal consumption.

    LA ZONA COLONIAL

    Calle de Las Damas

    In Santo Domingo the historical center, La Zona Colonial, is a well preserved place and is considered Human Heritage by UNESCO. Here there are about 300 historical buildings, among which the first cathedral built in the New World and the first street, Calle de Las Damas.

    Some streets of the Colonial Zone are closed to traffic. Walking down Calle de Las Damas you can feel the atmosphere of the old days. I could imagine to meet a Spanish nobleman and his lady coming out from a main door.
