on food and drink...
A multi-tiered pastry display in the front window entices passersby off a bustling street. Inside the narrow diner-like room, chatty locals
fill up counter stools and a row of cushy booths, while servers sporting bow ties clank dishes behind the long bar. Tile floors and wood paneling add to the
comfortable, casual atmosphere at this ancient local landmark.
La Bombonera at 259 Calle San Francisco in Old San Juan (787-722-0658), has served simple breakfast, strong coffee and fresh pastries since 1902.
