    Question Is Pj's restaurant closed?

    Rumour is that PJ's is closed...permanently.

    Perhaps someone currently in Sosua could confirm this?

    Thanks
    When you can think of yesterday without regret and tomorrow without fear, you are near contentment.
    Your opinions are not my problem...

    I dont know I cant say for my self. I have always wanted to go and get off the beaten path in sosua and see what can be found but I can never find anyone with as big of a sense of adventure that i have. ( I suppose thats what the problem is anyway. )I would love to go and check it out. I bet there are some fine ass chicas out there that have lots of potential.

    Well if you go to the nearby campo's, you may notice that you have seen many of them around Sosua already.

    There is a very large one outside of Caberete.

    Find yourself a moto guy that you know, ask him where he lives and ask to go on a tour and have lunch and or a beer there.

    Agreed on that. I'm bad with food so I don't got a personal personal experience but I brought some dulces (spanish for sweets but its not like candy...I dunno exactly how to translate it to english but maybe hugrad will bless us with a definition) and I couldn't find it in the supermarket. I wanted ones made by hand freshh. So I told my motto and he took me to the campo, he said that's the only place I could get it.

    Long story short I thought they looked weird as hell these dulces but my dad and my fam lovedddddd them. They were asking where I got this from. If I took you where I went in sosua bajo or charimichos (I confuse the two) its not some attractive and eye catching spot but the lady or people who did it for me did a great job.

    They made like 8 bottles in a day, from like noon to maybe 9 or 10pm when I got them. Foood is good and dominicans love to coook.

    Point of my post is you can find great things in the campo from food to chicas. But is pjs reallyy closed?? I liked that pjs was open so late so if you needed something to eat real late they were always available.

    I'm sure something else will take its place if its gone.

    Lol when jones mentioned about the soup I just thought of that seinfekd episode where george found a rubber band in his soup. Pacooo

    From Sosua News

    This is a "feedback" from Barbara from Sosua(This is a Dutch "Feedback" translated by the editors)
    Today, Friday, there was a meeting between the entrepreneurs of Sosúa, particularly from the Pedro Clisante, the taxi drivers / carros Publico and a representative of Politur. The reason for this meeting (on invitation of the entrepreneurs), is the often inappropriate and aggressive actions of the tourist police against women, as often discussed on this forum. With the sad nadir the massive raid a few weeks ago, with exaggerated police and army abuse which lasted several hours.
    On behalf of the Politur, the supervisor of the North Coast said that Politur acts in a correct and appropriate manner, they know what they have to do and they will continue the same way and perhaps even more strictly. On arguments and comments from entrepreneurs such as that prostitution is not even prohibited by law, why each woman walking alone is considered a prostitute, why Politur should act in such a harsh way like fighting and verbal abuse, fact is prostitution unfortunately still is a necessary thing because it is the only thing that still brings a few tourists to Sosúa, etc.etc. was not or very briefly answered, for that this meeting has brought nothing except that we know Sosúa still fails to get any nicer! For completeness there has to be said that other authorities like the mayor, representatives of the Ministry of Tourism and the province, who were all invited, were not present!
    It was also announced that the famous PJ's restaurant has closed its doors today, also within a few days even Restaurant La Roca and Happy Bar will cease their activities (temporary?).
    Since last week, the RIU Mambo in Puerto Plata is closed.

    Wow, things really are rough. The Riu resorts in Pto Plata were always packed to capacity. If they're having trouble staying open, I can imagine that the smaller operators are having a much harder time.

    Uhh, which campo do do you want to go to? Campo is a generic word for the poor, rural areas of the country. Basically every place outside a city is a campo. So in the most general terms, an answer to your question would be to just drive outside of Sosua for a half hour in any direction, and voila, you're in the campo.
