El Sartén - Dance Club
This nightclub, in Spanish the name means The Skillet, has been here for a long while. It is THE place to go dancing to the older Latin music here in the Zone. I call it "The Old Peoples Dance Place" but really this cozy place attracts all ages and classes. It is very small so if you do want a table it is best to arrive early or you may have to sit outside on the sidewalk which is fun also.

Grand's Cafeteria and Bar (formerly Paco Cafeteria)
A well-knows spot on the Conde serving typical Dominican food and drink. At times the traffic from the nearby street can get loud but it is still a good place to sit and watch all the humans passing by making for an interesting, not boring experience. Late night there is a very diverse group of people that hang out here. It is not the place to be with the family after midnight or if you do not like to see people that are a bit free in displaying their sexual preferences.
