"Old San Juan’s Plaza de Armas bustles during the day as locals, visitors, and office workers descend on the area’s coffee kiosks. Wine bar Pío Pío offers a casual lunch, but it’s even better at night, when the area tends to quiet down. Here, far from the dives of Cristo and San Sebastían streets, the bar serves a big menu of sparkling wine, paired with seasonal small plates like oysters Rockefeller, beef tartare, and a salad of chrysanthemum greens, silken tofu dressing, hazelnuts, and chayote. There’s even a Negroni piragua, a decidedly adult take on the local street cart treat of shaved ice and flavored syrup." - Paulina Salach Antonetti, Alicia Kennedy
