What things are in walking distance to the port?

I heard people fly kits at the forts but what else is there? Where is the best place to have dinner and where's the best place to go until 11pm?

On a port stop in San Juan almost everything is in walking distance of the port EXCEPT a beach ... also, getting to other parts of the island.

When my wife and I were there last year, we went to a restaurant called Toro Salao at 367 Calle Tetuan in the Old Town. It had outdoor seating and the weather was very pleasant. It was like we were in an outdoor cafe in Europe, it just had that good vibe. Plus the dinner and drinks were very good.

 

While we were sitting there, a group of school kids were practicing a dance routine very close by. We could see them and hear them but they weren't very loud. We also had a good chance to just sit and relax and people watch. Since we were outside, basically in the middle of the huge sidewalk, people were walking on both sides of the outdoor seating area (enclosed) and we enjoyed just watching them

 

We really wanted to go to a coffee place and try some of the Puerto Rican coffee, there was one that was highly rated but they closed 5 minutes before we got there. They weren't too far from the restaurant I mentioned above either. Since we will be back to San Juan in less than 2 months, we'll make sure to plan a visit to the coffee place.

 

Don't bother with the Bacardi tour. It seemed like a waste of time to me and took more time than it really needed, cutting into other things we wanted to do.
