Dearest Carolina: I receive the Food Network here in Ponce.

I wish you could tell me more about the Entradas show. Ponce is my hometown & I love it. But San Juan is the Mecca for restaurant visiting. Here in Ponce there are good ones, but I would not dare to say that there are many. I sincerely prefer in Ponce as outstanding & perhaps one of the best in Puerto Rico MARKS AT THE MELIA HOTEL.

Another good one is The Rinc n Argentino, & I really enjoy the ambiance, with tables in the outside & permanent tango music. The location is at the historical district in one of our old houses (Ponce is known for the marvelous architecture of our old-historical houses).

For seafood & excellent fresh fish there is EL ANCLA (my home away from home). The service is excellent, the food is fresh & very good & it is located near the sea.

Near the Ponce Hilton's Golf Course they opened last december a Northern Italian Restaurant, good, but I miss the various alternatives for Italian cooking at San Juan.

Well, I hope they will mention the Art Museum & the Serrall s Castle, high in the hill.

Look closely at the show so that you can tell me later about it. Receive a big hug from your friend,

Gladys/PR
