Island Urban Chic and Beaches This is the Santo Domingo Experience

Can you name the largest city in the Caribbean? It’s not San Juan, Havana, or Kingston. It’s an often-overlooked municipality in an often-overlooked country: Santo Domingo, the capital of the Dominican Republic.

Many visitors skip right over this city of 1.5 million and fly into Punta Cana, which is the gateway to the country’s eastern resorts. This is a shame, because while the city can be a little challenging (starched and pressed Nassau, it is not), Santo Domingo offers some of the best dining, nightlife, and sightseeing in the West Indies.

Joz Ve Loz’s Chef Serves Up Crave-Worthy Delights

Hot, Joz ve Loz is, but I wouldn’t expect anything less from the women behind this destination restaurant, especially in its new location. The restaurant moved to the Florentin, an artsy and edgy emerging neighborhood in the southern part of Tel Aviv, March 2015.

It is well worth the adventure journeying away from the action of Tel Aviv’s fashionable northern neighborhoods to dine at Joz ve Loz.
