I recently did a long walk around the Jaragua Hotel, which is situated on the Malecon (George Washington Avenue), The Malecon runs along the ocean in Santo Domingo. I took this walk from my hotel, the Hotel Riazor, situated right behind the Jaragua Hotel, on Independencia Avenue, which is one block North of the Malecon and runs parallel to it. By taking this walk, you can see many of the most talked-about clubs, casinos, hotels and restaurants. After completing my first visit to Santo Domingo, and seeing lots of the city outside this particular area in my rental car, including the colonial zone less than a mile to the East, and the university area, less than a mile to the west, and other clubs and restaurants to the north, I would say the particular area I will show you in this thread, through pictures I took on my walk around the Jaragua, is a perfect home base for anyone, especially if he doesn't have his own wheels, as I did.
If you're interested in this area, also check the prior thread of Cheeno, with many better pictures of the same stuff: http://news.insearchofchicas.org/for...ad.php?t=39319. (How to get to Sky Blue, The Girl's House, Aurora, Tabu, and Lapsus) Some clubs have changed their names or moved, so my thread here is designed to point out the most current info, current as of two days ago, when I took these photos, and did the walking tour.
