Famous for, among other things, hosting President Obama in 2011. You can still order the Presidential Special and sit in the table where the President himself ate a Medianoche Sandwich. Food is great. My recommendations: order a Frita Cubana and a Quesito.

Great place to take in the views of the ocean and eat all sorts of cheap artery clogging Puerto Rican favorites. Yes, we love our fried food. Try the alcapurrias... You won't regret it.

Four buildings down from the Placita apartment, a hot new bar with a low-key vibe. Look for the building on the corner of Ponce de León and Canals covered in psychedelic graffiti.

Our family lives in Puerto Rico and we've gone out with these guys three times in the past couple of years. It's a foolproof sailing day trip just an hour from the apartment. Price is relatively inexpensive and includes lunch and an open rum bar. You can pick from a few different adventure options. We like the Cayo Icacos and Snorkeling adventure. Call them for more details.
