Brother, you're right on cue with your comments, and your analysis is very easy to digest and understand; very articulate. Keep it up and congrats.

Santo Domingo is a combination of New York, Miami and a bit of New Orleans thrown in (using Zona Colonial in this respect) When I first came to the DR, I was apprehensive about visiting the city, but now, no trip is complete without SD.

Uncle Jay you are a natural podcaster! Ankh-ASE!

Santo Domingo Este is where I stay when I come there. I love the Malacon over there.

Good point Jay, you said a person could get to know the lay of the land of Puerto Plata and other locations in the Dominican Republic in a day or two. I live in Puerto Plata and travel to Santo Domingo frequently and I can say there is NO WAY you can learn Santo Domingo in a day or two from Villa Meja to Gazcue just raveling alone would take more than two days not to mention stopping at various sites to familiarize yourself along the way would take many trips. The other challenge is it is so easy to get stuck in your favorite part of the city like Bella Vista and neglect Piantini right down the street. For your Santo Domingo is #1 for me it's #2...LOL!

Nice Summary. Santo Domingo is by far my favorite city on the island. Nearly lived in Gazcue. But went to beach town instead, but staying close to La Capital. 👍 Enlightening Jay.

I’ve been to most of the neighborhoods you mentioned. Zona Colonial was my first stop. Then a few places on the Malecon in Disrito Nacional. Piantini, Bella Vista, all over Este, San Isidro, Los Tres Ojos and lastly Norte. Love Avenida Venezuela and the Malecon on Avenida Espana

This week was my first time ever in Santo Domingo spending most of my time in Bella Vista. I happen to like it alot. I live in Panama City Panama for a few years

I may spend more time here and commute to Panama City next year

I’m gonna brush up on some Spanish before I spend more time. Everyone has been very nice.

Most of the Dominicans in Philly and the suburbs of Philly are from Santiago but York and Allentown Dominicans are from Santo Domingo by way of New York City

[blascarmona]

I was born in distrito Nacional but I grew up in Santo Domingo este. Alma Rosa/Villa Faro. I’m thinking on going back to live there since I’m currently living in San Diego California.
