No specific nightlife recommendation, but my general experience travelling is that, if you want to find nightlife that suits your age/type of entertainment/atmosphere preference, you should ask some of the local people working at the hotel where the hot spots are. Be specific re: what you are looking for. For the most part, I have gotten really good advice this way.<BR>Re: restaurants -- there's a seafood restaurant called Cobia in the Condado Plaza Hotel that I really like. There are also a bunch of funky restaurants in Old San Juan (they're mostly on one street, but I can't remember the name). There's a nice lunch spot in the atrium at the El Convento Hotel in OSJ. For cheap local food, try Metropole, which I think is in Isla Verde -- it's not far from the Embassy Suites Hotel.

For an inexpensive full breakfast ($3) Check out Mi Casita. It is a small restaurant in a strip mall across the street from the Intercontinental Hotel. It is opposite a Church's Chicken franchise restaurant. They also serve reaonably priced lunches and dinners. They feature Puerto Rican dishes for lunch and dinner. Breakfast is typical American - eggs, bacon, ham. potatoes. Another popular restaurasnt in Isla Verde is the Metropole.<BR>The dance club in the El San Juan hotel is considered to be one of the best in San Juan.<BR>

Metropole is a good choice for P.R/Cuban food at a very reasonable price. Sonny's, which is an open air restaurant right on the water is good also. Any of the restaurants in the El San Juan are excellent, although pricey.<BR><BR>For nightlife - El San Juan is an excellent choice. Very big lobby bar,live music, and also a nighclub (called Babylon) that gets packed. Plays a mix of Latin and American dance music. <BR><BR>Just as any fyi - at night, people tend to dress up in P.R. - no shorts and t-shirts.<BR><BR>
