HOW 'BOUT A LITTLE SALSA? Dancin' that is; not eating.

I've had my eye on this place for about a month now.  If I am looking for a place to experience the most authentic Salsa as possible (and I am), the Nuyorican Café is probably a really good choice.  http://www.nuyoricancafepr.com/

When I travel, I always attempt to connect with the "local" flavor.   Not just the tastes, but the styles as well.   The birthplace of Salsa is NYC during the 1960's.  Its parents however come from both Cuba and Puerto Rico.  The dance returned to the Islands where it flourished.  The Nuyorican Café in Old San Juan seems to be one of those places.

I have talked with those who have been in San Juan, and also have read the online reviews.  It seems that the party really doesn't even begin 'till about 11pm.  And our whole point in arriving a day before our Cruise begins is so that we can be rested up and not be travel weary when the ship leaves port. A late night trip to a Salsa club could seriously interfere with that plan. So... I still have not decided.

Whether or not we end up at the Nuyorican will depend upon how our time at the Plaza de Mercado de Santurce goes earlier that evening.  We shall see...
