Lote 23

San Juan


An abandoned lot has been turned into a gourmet food park where you can feast alfresco on everything from fried chicken at Hen House, to slow-roasted Puerto Rican pork at Pernileria Los Próceres and Peruvian anticuchos at Panka. Wash it down with cocktails from Caneca or coffee from Cafe Regina. Sunday-morning yoga will burn off the calories.
