Salsa

Puerto Rico is credited in most circles to be the birthplace of salsa dancing. The other place credited is New York City. In Old San Juan, at the Newyorican Café, they can claim both, and have live salsa bands that perform in the intimate but beloved space that was once touted as one of the last places in San Juan that one could go to get a truly authentic salsa experience. In recent years it has slowly gone the way of a tourist bar, but remains wildly popular and has plenty of opportunity to celebrate the Latin groove.
