This location is a district within San Juan, but with its very own style and attitude. Classic mandatory stops include restaurant La Casita Blanca for traditional dishes and ambiance and La Placita for salsa dancing well into the wee hours. But Santurce is an emerging area, taking its food, drink, and art to a new level. Some of the most creative chefs, mixologists, and artists have made it their goal to unite talents and start their businesses in this once-forgotten area.
Now we can all enjoy the efforts as Santurce becomes the new go-to destination for those wanting to keep their hands on the island's innovative pulse. Two letters exemplify this exciting new movement: Calle Loiza. This street is home to award-winning La Coctelera, a sultry salsa-dancing spot called La Junta, and what is perhaps the best pizza joint in San Juan, Loiza 2050.
