[QUOTE=Ehunter]After all this talk about great-budget-food it is just a matter of time before the topic of the rear-end-squirts gets brought up. :-))[/QUOTE]I love to eat off the food carts on the streets both in the DR and Colombia and I have never once gotten sick,a true miracle.
[QUOTE=Buscemi]I highly recommend La Costera for really nice reasonably priced fare!
It's adjacent to the clinic just past Scotia Bank heading towards La Passion.
Most plates are RD250-RD300 for a lot of food.
Across the street, a little further down, News Cafe has a new owner/chef, Johnny from the Waterfront, he has a few very nice plates, for RD270. Chicken cordon-bleu with homemade mashed potatoes, and the grilled chicken breast are both good. The breakfast there is probably the best in town, omlette or pancakes, juice, coffee, a mountain of fresh fruit, various breads, RD200 tax included.
Both great places to fuel up after a session!
A favorite late night snack is Ollie's Pork Sandwich, across from Domino bar, never gotten sick from his Sandwich de pierna, order it picante, blows away the one in front of Classicos. Ollie speaks perfect English![/QUOTE]
I agree about News Cafe. Excelent food there. You should try the shrimps there, both the shrimp coctail and the garlic shrimps, best in town.
Maybe the best on the menu is the filete de res con pimiento it's just fantastic. One thing not on the menu is the espagetti especial con camarones, it's just to ask for it.
I have nothing to do with the place other than being a regular customer, just hope they will survive, because in my opinion they have the best food in town for a reasonable price.
[QUOTE=Vagabond]I agree about News Cafe.[/QUOTE]
He just re-did the place a few weeks ago, so I hope that is a sign of prosperity, Johnny works hard and puts out probably one of the best plates of food in town.
A few obsevations from recent trip. Spent a few days with this new Santo Domingo chic that looked exactly like Angela Jolie. As fine as she is I was curious how it could get so bad she turns to Sosua. I know the answers the others give but she was to fine to have an excuse. She gave the normal excuses, no child fathers support, dominican boses wanting pussy, no jobs, etc. But I concluded lack of ambition, loss of self dignity, laziness, no education. I chalked it up to the "Dominican Way". Not as many Americanos this holiday weekend. Seen a good fight between two italians. Police had a motoconcho blockade that was quite a spectacle. The police pulled two flat bed trucks up outside of seacrets and started loading every motoconcho that passed by. The guys had to go to the police station the next day with proof of ownership papers. I wouldve been pissed but these guys just gave up the bikes and walked away without a word (damn).
Hey Guys,
First of all, thank you very much to everyone who makes this a great forum. I have been reading for quite some time and have learned a lot!
I have visited BB's numerous times, and in late December will be trying out Sosua for the first time, three nights at NG. Previously I have had a drink at Passions, and visited the beach, but never stayed the night in Sosua and partaken of the activities.
My question: I am not a night-life disco person, and I want to meet a chica during the day and set up a date for dinner and TLN, as opposed to prowling the discos in the late evening hours. Can one of the vets please advise me as to how to find the right chica for me during the daylight hours?
Muchas gracias!

Muchas gracias![/QUOTE]You can go to the beach or walk down the street that classicos and passions is on. Several chicas walk around shopping or getting their hair done. Some are walking around looking for you. You can fall down and land in some pussy in Sosua.

I would advise against looking for TLN until you have been with a chica a time or two.....trust me, TLN is not always a great deal in Sosua. Chicas can be found during the daytime walking around town, although not nearly in the numbers they are in the evening. Pickings can be slim. The beach is a good place to start. By noon there will be some ladies prowling around.....if they are in swim suits, they are NOT available; if they are in street clothes, they are available and looking. ALL the chicas have cell phones; if you don't want to try them right then, get their number and call them later.....you might need a few phrases in Spanish; get a simple dictionary.
I'm not much of a late night disco guy either, but in the evening I prowl, chat the ladies up and collect numbers.....tell them you will call the next day; they hear this a lot and probably blow it off, but I have called chicas the next morning and had them meet me at my hotel or Calypso for some very satisfying morning or early afternoon sessions. You can usually get better rates, then, too, since they are not used to making money that time of day. You will probably not be able to get a hold of any of them prior to about 9 am....they are sleeping off their previous late night festivities. Occasionally, I have pre-arranged an early morning get together but I was VERY adament when discusiing this with the lady.....i.e. " be here at 0830 in front of my hotel.....if you are late I will do something else!!" That usually works, unless she finds a good TLN the night before......there is always some risk of this not working in Sosua.
Also, if you want to take a chica to dinner, that is fine, and I have done it a time or two with ladies I "clicked" with....but realize this will NOT enititle you to any discount for their services....that price will remain the same, regardless of what else you spend on them. I would say that most sosua ladies are not worth the hassle, but I have linked up with a few diamonds in the rough on past trips that were fun to squire around for the evening and who even dressed up a bit and seemed to be proud to be seen with me.
Hope this helps......

I prefer to buy some extra pollo carbon to feed them in the room, if I am feeling generous, some tostones! As far as the morning session, that is a long shot unless you get one just leaving her TLN, all these girls sleep until 2PM.
Little advice
I was looking to vacation 7-14 Jan and was woundering if given the choice Sosua or St Martin. I have been never been to Sosua. I had a good time my last visit to St Martin.

A few follow up questions and comments.
I am only good for a couple of pops per day, and prefer one at night and one in the morning, thus I like TLN's. If I negotiate all the details in advance, please elaborate on why you think TLN is not a great deal.
Please elaborate also on why chicas at the beach in swim suits are not available.
My Spanish is not a problem. I have enough Espanol to make myself understood (with bad grammer), and I can understand a little of what is being said to me if I get them to speak slowly (which sometimes is difficult!).
I like taking the chica to dinner because it is something I enjoy. I like the company and the conversation, preceding the evenings activities. This is always how I did it in my several visits to BB's. Dinner and then TLN. Or am I way off base for Sosua with that plan?
Thanks, again.

Sosua is definitely NOT BB's.....you can read in this forum of guys who have had bad or poor experiences with chicas on TLN's.....the girls will promise one thing then not want to give you what you "thought" you had negotiated...etc etc etc. It's a much more uncontrolled environment than BB's. The girls at BB's will not rip you off in the middle of the night, they won't suddenly get a phone call from their "mother" who is suddenly sick and needs help....etc etc etc. I'm just warning you.....but if you do a session or two with a chica you like, maybe that is OK.....perhaps some other guys on this site can pipe in with their opinions.
the beach code is what it is....girls in swim suits, not players. Girls in street clothes= players.
Have fun.

I've had the same "problem": SXM or DR. Eventually booked SDQ and Curacao.
It depends what you like, and how much $ you're willing to spend. Sosua will be cheaper, especially TLNs ($60-80 vs $250-400.) But the quality in general is lower and you have to be careful who you pick (STDs, thieves, junkies.) As far as daytime mongering - SXM wins, but with 4-6 cruise ships in January don't expect anything but a quickie in Carolina or Seamans during the daytime.
I can't say anything regarding the non-pro possibilities of Sosua, I'll leave it to those who can understand dominican version of espaņol.

Thanks for the info. I have been checking around and I think SXM is going to be the choice. I hear that a new bar El Capitan is going to open soon. Plus I like the Columbian women. Never had a bad experience when I was there, plus there were plenty of things to do when not chasing women.
SDQ CUR is a nice setup. Expedia will allow a multi destination booking.
Curacao is a good bet. Much less traffic than St.Maarten, a much more relaxed atmostshpere, and lower prices.
Anybody seen or heard of Jimmy DR in the last few years? He seemed to have dropped off the face of the earth.
