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.

If you really want to go all out, 1919 is the best of the best in the San Juan fine dining scene. It's also in the Condado Vanderbilt, a beautiful hotel from the 1930s that features a beautiful old-timey bar, live music and great ocean views.

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.

Tony and Nancy are simply the best. Rent their bikes or book a bike tour with them. You'll love them and you'll love the unique perspective they offer on San Juan's sights and attractions.

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.
