According to People, the lovebirds invited 76 guests for a three-day wedding extravaganza, which kicked off with a welcome cocktail party followed by a ghost tour in the French Quarter. The Napoleon House was the couple's ideal wedding ceremony location because of its rustic European aesthetic, Hendricks said. She added that  the couple  fell in love with the historic venue's old charm, from the dilapidated walls to the grand dining rooms. Thetraditional taste of Napoleon House is safe in the hands of chef Chris Montero, a veteran of the RalphBrennan Restaurant Group, whose own Creole roots in New Orleans reach backabout as far as Napoleon House, itself.

The Best Restaurants In The French Quarter

Abeloved landmark on the corner of Chartres and St. Louis in New Orleans' FrenchQuarter, the Napoleon House exudes aEuropean charm in keeping with its 200-year history. Remaining trueto itself, the deeply patinated walls, uneven tile floors, and old wooden bar,hollowed by countless signature Pimm's Cups, speak to its many decades ofservice. He ran a grocery store on the bottom floor while living with his brothers and sisters in the upstairs quarters. Along with the grocery store, Joseph opened a tavern, which seemed to be favorable to the river workers and local businessmen, serving drinks and playing opera and classical music from his Victrola.

Truth or just a good story? The ‘deliciously entrenched’ tale behind New Orleans' Napoleon House

Over the years, the property transitioned from a residence to a variety of commercial uses. In 1914, it was purchased by the Impastato family, and under the ownership of J. Impastato, affectionately known as Uncle Joe, the building evolved into the iconic Napoleon House restaurant and bar. "Uncle Joe," as they called him, felt the need to create some ambiance in the store, and brought down his Victrola to play some opera records for the customers.

THE IMPASTATOS

The plan was to help the deposed emperor escape and bring him to the New World, and the first floor of the building was set aside to be his home. After the Civil War, the French Quarter fell into disarray and later became a home for Italian and Irish immigrants. In the second century of its life, the house at the corner of Chartres and St. Louis was rented and later owned by the Impastato family. The ground floor was a grocery, later a bar (even during Prohibition) and then a restaurant, while the family lived upstairs. Joseph “Uncle Joe” Impastato, who originally rented the property in 1914 before purchasing it in 1920, was an Italian immigrant who had a love for family, food, and opera.

The actress, who says she was determined to be "overdressed and fabulous" all weekend long, wore a custom Christian Siriano gown for the welcome party, accessorized with antique jewelry, for the occasion. "That's how I've always wanted to traipse the streets of New Orleans at night — in a serious gown with a drink in hand, just walking around," she explains. Perhaps most striking is its hipped roof, interrupted by four dormers on its Chartres Street side and one more centered on the shorter St. Louis Street side.

The landmark was once home to New Orleans mayor Nicholas Girod, who offered Napoleon Bonaparte refuge during the French leader’s exile. Its patrons can still expect a soundtrack of classicalmusic and the best muffulettas in town, as well as the same warm welcome first inspiredby Napoleon, and practiced here ever since. Owned by the Impastato family since 1914, today the Napoleon House is a bar and restaurant full of 18th century charm. Portraits of Napoleon decorate the walls, and the only music played is classical, imparting on the bar a faded grandeur that can only be found in that most magical of cities, New Orleans. In 2015, Ralph Brennan, whose family is a longstanding institution of New Orleans hospitality, accepted stewardship of Napoleon House from the Impastato family [its owners for the previous century,] declaring his intention to maintain its relaxed and antiquated character.

The bride wore a custom Katya Katya bridal gown which she says made her cry the first time she tried it on "because it was so beautiful." She paired it with a Claire Pettibone custom version of her Boho Juliet veil with pale grey silk ribbons and lace flowers.

Legend has it that the boat sent to fetch Napoleon was a week out at sea when the news arrived that Bonaparte had died… depriving the Vieux Carre the opportunity to have the Little Corsican walk its famous cobbled streets. The Times-Picayune is marking the tricentennial of New Orleans with its ongoing 300 for 300 project, running through 2018 and highlighting the moments and people that connect and inspire us. Today, the series continues with the 1821 plan to spirit the then-exiled Napoleon Bonaparte to New Orleans. Our favorite places to drink cocktails, dance, and have a great night in New Orleans. The Napoleon House offers one of the most unique and elegant settings anywhere for parties and receptions.

Beyond this signature delight, the menu features a delectable array of Creole and Cajun-inspired dishes, from Seafood Gumbo to flavorful Red Beans and Rice and Jambalaya. According to legend, it was built by former Mayor Nicholas Girod, who offered it as a refuge for an exiled Napoleon Bonaparte. Known for its rumored connection to the infamous Napoleon Bonaparte, Napoleon House originally started life as the home and business of Nicolas Girod. Girod served as mayor of New Orleans but is more famously known for his role in the Battle of New Orleans.

Nicholas Girod did not have any children but his extended family lived in the house through the nineteenth century. In the early 1900's the property was owned by a few different people and it eventually became a grocery store. Nicholas Girod, left, a wealthy merchant and former mayor of New Orleans, was part of a plot in 1821 to rescue Napoleon Bonaparte from his exile on St. Helena and bring him to the city.

It evolved over the years, and in 2015, the restaurant was purchased by the Brennan family, which runs it today. True, Girod was mayor in January 1815 when Lafitte helped defend the city against the British in the Battle of New Orleans, and so it’s possible the two Frenchmen felt a kinship. In 1815, in the lead-up to the Battle of New Orleans, Lafitte admitted in writing his desire to prove himself a loyal American, thus his reason for putting in with Andrew Jackson. Thus, the story of Napoleon House, one of the most beloved, most repeated and most unverifiable stories in the city. Tucked away on the corner of Rue St. Louis and Rue Chartres deep in the heart of the French Quarter in New Orleans lies a bar with a peculiar history.

Muffuletta is the quintessential New Orleans sandwich and a Napoleon House signature that pays homage to the Italian immigrants who first opened grocery and deli stores along the riverfront of the French Market in New Orleans. It is a hearty sandwich of cured meats and cheese, slathered with a tangy olive salad dressing piled onto a sesame-crusted Italian loaf. That grocery was first rented and then purchased by Joseph Impastato, who in 1920 opened a tavern in a side room.

He even offered his home at 500 Chartres Street as a residence for Bonaparte. The couple's reception featured a multi-course sit-down dinner in lieu of a buffet. "People really love to do a buffet in New Orleans for weddings. We're just not really buffet people. I want to sit there and be lazy and have someone bringing [the food]," she tells PEOPLE. "So we did a sit-down dinner. We coursed it out and offered good, Southern New Orleans food."

In keeping the tradition alive, almost a century later, opera and classical music is played at Napoleon House. Napoleon House, located in the French Quarter of New Orleans, boasts a rich history dating back to the early 19th century. Built in 1797, the building originally served as the residence of Nicholas Girod, the then-mayor of New Orleans. The property earned its name from the mayor's offer, in 1821, to provide refuge to Napoleon Bonaparte during his exile. Originally built in 1797 as the home of New Orleans mayor Nicholas Giroud, the building received its name due to a bizarre plot conceived in the 1820s to spring Napoleon Bonaparte from his exile on the island of Saint Helena.

We’re not sure how the Pimm’s Cup got to be their house specialty (surely there’s a story), but whatever you do, don’t leave without trying the absinthe-dabbed Sazerac. Uncle Joe Impastato, the visionary founder of Napoleon House, had a discerning palate that leaned away from potent alcoholic beverages. Acquainted with Pimm's Cup during his travels in England—a refreshing, low-alcohol libation perfect for summer—he introduced it to Napoleon House. As a trailblazer, Napoleon House proudly became the first establishment in America to offer Pimm's Cups, surpassing global sales records, second only to the historic London bar that birthed this iconic drink. "We wanted [our friends and family] to feel sexy and welcomed and love and laugh, and have delicious food and indulge and enjoy incredible music. And we wanted to say, 'And hey, if you stick around, it'll continue to be like this. Come to our house. We'll do more of this,' " she explains.

A handful of famous artists attended the wedding, including "Mad Men" creator Matt Weiner and actress Mae Whitman. Shirley Manson, the lead singer of Garbage and a close friend of Hendricks, also attended to officiate the wedding. On top of that, by 1821 — the year the plot was ostensibly set into motion — Lafitte had vamoosed, trading New Orleans for Galveston, Texas. It wasn’t until 1821 that the plot allegedly hatched seven years earlier was finally set into motion, according to most versions. Napoleon abdicated in April 1814 — the very same month of Girod’s inheritance — although he wasn’t shipped to St. Helena then. Back then, Napoleon was imprisoned on the remote island of St. Helena, but, the story goes, a group of sympathetic Frenchmen hatched a plan to rescue him — with help from some amenable pirates — and deliver him to New Orleans to live out his golden years.

The Best Bars In The French Quarter

[1] Sometime around the end of Prohibition they changed the establishment's name to "Napoleon House." Through the years the property has been owned by a few different members of the Impastato family and remained in the family until 2015 when it was purchased by restaurateur Ralph Brennan. Napoleon House continues to be one of the most famous bars in the nation. When the property was purchased by New Orleans restauranteurRalph Brennan in 2015, he purposefully preserved the bar in place and kept muchof the Impastato flair in the restaurant. The family portraits hang on the walland the only music played in the restaurant is opera or classical, just as UncleJoe would have done. According to the website for the Napoleon House restaurant — which occupies the first floor and is famous in its own right for its Pimm’s Cup cocktail and its warm muffuletta sandwich — it was in 1814 that Girod first offered his house as a refuge for Napoleon.

The property is rated among the highest historically significant locations in New Orleans, and is on the National Register of historic buildings.

If you’ve ever wondered what visiting the Haunted Mansion would be like if they poured a mean brandy milk punch, head to Napoleon House.

The actress' close friend Shirley Manson, lead singer of the '90s music group Garbage, officiated. The dedicated team at Napoleon House in New Orleans embodies a passion for preserving the establishment's rich history and creating an unparalleled experience for patrons. It changed hands repeatedly over the years, with its ground floor becoming home to an Italian grocery just after the turn of the 20th century. The plot was hatched In 1821, with one of the conspirators being the infamous Louisiana pirate, Jean Lafitte.

Its patrons can still expect a soundtrack of classical music and the best muffulettas in town, as well as the same warm welcome first inspired by Napoleon, and practiced here ever since. After Girod resigned as mayor in September 1815, he took over the existing estate at Chartres and St. Louis, building it into the three-and-a-half story Creole cottage, complete with a cupola. The structure functioned as both a home and store (on the ground level) and remained in Girod’s family until the end of the 19th century.

The guest list included ”Mad Men” creator Matthew Weiner, Retta, Mae Whitman and Christian Siriano, who designed the actress’ pre-wedding cocktail dress. Hendricks told the outlet that she and Bianchini – who first met on the set of her TV show “Good Girls” – chose the Big Easy as they share a special connection to the city. Ralph Brennan recognizes team members each year at our annual holiday party with bonus checks honoring tenure and outstanding contributions. Team members recognized in 2023 celebrated 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 years of service. A ghost tour was one of the celebratory events guests could partake in after a cocktail party at the Soniat House property, a luxury hotel located on Chartres Street.

The event kicked off with a welcome party on Friday, April 19, hosted at a mini mansion on the Soniat House hotel property, which was recently redecorated by renowned interior designer Martyn Lawrence Bullard. Guests enjoyed cocktails and hors d'oeuvres before stepping out into the historic streets of the French Quarter for a ghost tour. Owned and operated by the Impastato family since 1914 and Ralph Brennan since May of 2015, Napoleon House is a place that suspends you in time. You can hear Beethoven's Eroiqua, which he composed for Napoleon, and the music of other classical masters, while sipping a Pimm's Cup, and basking in an ambiance that could only be New Orleans. Renowned for its iconic Warm Muffuletta (most serve theirs cold), a symphony of cured meats, tangy olive salad, and sesame-studded bread, all made in house, the establishment pays homage to the city's vibrant flavors.

As one of nine National Historic Landmarks in the French Quarter, the Napoleon House has undergone its fair share of renovations (which will include a restored stairwell in the near future), but it retains the charm that has endeared people to the building since 1815.

In April 1814, Mayor Nicolas Girod was serving his first term as mayor of New Orleans when his brother, Clause Francois, died and left him a lot on the corner of Chartres and St. Louis Streets. When he received this plot, he began to build a grand home, a three-and-a-half story townhouse with room for a business and residence. Owned and operated by the Impastato family since 1914 and Ralph Brennan since May of 2015, Napoleon House suspends you in time. Listen to Beethoven's Eroiqua, which he composed for Napoleon, and the music of other classical masters, while sipping a Pimm's Cup, and basking in an ambiance that could only be New Orleans. The following day, Hendricks and Bianchini — who got engaged in February 2023 after proposing to each other — exchanged handwritten vows at a ceremony held at Napoleon House, a century-old restaurant that remains a New Orleans landmark.

It’s all crowned by an octagonal cupola that offers a commanding 360-degree view of the city huddled on the Mississippi’s banks. The historic Napoleon House on Chartres Street in New Orleans, shown in 2018, was once intended as a refuge for exiled French emperor Napoleon Bonaparte. Much of the site's history is preserved in place—including in the cupola which overlooks the French Quarter. A popular New Orleans legend suggests that once Mayor Girod and a few other Bonaparte supporters heard about the exile they devised a plot to rescue the Emperor. It is believed that Jean Lafitte, Captain St. Ange Bossiere, and Dominique You were all involved in the plot. The plan was to rescue Napoleon from his exile and bring him to New Orleans to live out his remaining years at the Girod Home.

There is no proof that the story is true, but it lends a mystique (and decorative theme) to the site, which has been known as “Napoleon’s House” since 1823. Attached to a two-story structure his brother had built, Girod’s new building stood three stories. With plain walls of stuccoed brick, it lacks the classical molding and other ornamentation popular at the time. The showiest elements on its façade are shallow, second-floor balconies, which boast modest wrought-iron railings. Whether you’re visiting for the Napoleonic history, the tales of the Impastato family, or a dinner of muffuletta and their famous Pimm’s cup, Napoleon House is a slice of history worth exploring in New Orleans’ French Quarter. The couple chose the historic Napoleon House as their venue for the romantic ceremony.

On September 4th, one year into his second term, Girod resigned as Mayor due to financial troubles. The people of New Orleans then learned that Napoleon escaped the island of Elba on March 1, 1815, but was recaptured and sent to Ste. Before the Grod and the other Napoleon supporters could execute their supposed plot, Bonaparte died in captivity on May 5, 1821.

Regular STS Express Smoothing System treatments will be required if they wish to maintain a looser texture and style manageability. For clients with natural hair seeking improved manageability, apply the STS Express Smoothing System as directed. For clients that no longer wish to receive relaxer services, the STS System will make their transition a lot easier. At the line where the relaxed hair and new growth meet, the STS System will loosen and help blend texture. It will also provide protection against breakage, making the transition more manageable for your client. The STS Express Smoothing System is for clients with natural and transitioning hair, seeking improved texture manageability.

Whether it be rain, sweat, shower steam, or water at the pool – clients will experience reversion. The only way to prevent total reversion is with a relaxer – which the STS Express Smoothing System is not. The STS Express Smoothing System works for all textures – including natural hair types from 3c to 4c. Clients that shampoo often (1 time per week or more) will experience only a fraction of the longevity that the STS Express Smoothing System offers. The best way to make the treatment last is to have your client visit you at the salon every 2 weeks, so you can perform a maintenance service.

While some clients may opt to protectively style, others choose to take a “break” from their texture with straight hair styling. It is essential to remind clients that the STS Express Smoothing System is not a relaxer or Brazilian Keratin treatment. The results are not permanent, and as such, their hair will revert when it comes into contact with moisture.

Most importantly, we will share how to manage client expectations after receiving the STS Express Smoothing System.

Managing Client Expectations

This treatment can be used in lieu of the Smoothing Mousse, depending on the condition of your client’s hair. Many factors go into how long a client’s hair will remain straight, and how long the STS Express Smoothing System will last in their hair. RY Silk & Textiles carries an extensive variety of fabrics to match your special ideal garment apparel. We provide our services and assistance to many clienteles ranging from well known apparel brands to unique private labels in Los Angeles.

You can ensure your clients that their money is not wasted once they experience reversion. The  key benefit of the STS Express Smoothing System is long-term manageability. When your client’s hair does revert, their curls will be looser, softer, and easier to manage. This is because the STS Express Smoothing System gently stretches and softens the natural curl pattern, making it less resistant to heat styling. For clients with natural hair, remind them that the texture loosening effects of the system  last up to 12 weeks.

Noodle Bistro, despite its name, specializes in the art of Cantonese steamed cuisine. Instead of noodles, they excel in serving a variety of steamed rice platters, steamed Chinese dishes, and traditional Cantonese soups. Their commitment to healthy cooking aligns with the principles of traditional Chinese medicine, ensuring nourishing and wholesome meals. It’s worth noting that the rice platters are freshly steamed upon ordering, so some waiting time should be expected. Nature Pagoda is a tiny mom-and-pop spot that has been around since the ’90s. The entire menu is based on traditional Chinese medicinal principles meant to balance the body for optimal health.

Interior

Alice’s Kitchen is operated by the family that opened the original Delicious Food Corner in Monterey Park. Garden Cafe is another Hong Kong-style cafe with a menu as big as the Cheesecake Factory’s. Diners can order everything from Indonesian fried rice to wonton noodles, Singaporean-style vermicelli, and even mediocre steak specials.

Both locations offer special dishes each week that are advertised on paper menus that can only be obtained at the restaurant. There is a new dish everyday of the week that may include a Chiu Chow-style or five-spice duck, braised short ribs with red sauce, or a Western-style dinner. It’s important to note that both locations do not serve the same specials and the set dinner is only available for pick-up at 3 p.m. Mr. Chopsticks has been a mainstay in the area for over three decades and is one of a few Cantonese restaurants that still provides free soup at the start of the meal. The lunch menu includes 40-plus affordable and generously portioned specials such as beef chow fun, kung pao shrimp, chicken wings, and salt and pepper shrimp.

Henry's Cuisine

Although various subsequent tenants have modified the interior spaces over the years, the house largely retains its original interior layout. Henry’s Cuisine is a small restaurant specializing in Cantonese cuisine with a hint of Vietnamese influence. Their menu features classic dishes like XO fried rice, vermicelli noodles, salted egg shrimp, and deep-fried salted pig feet. They also offer a selection of higher-priced fresh seafood options, including garlic-steamed Alaska king crab, lobster, tiger prawns, live fish, Dungeness crab, and various clams. Hot Spot Nabe is a cozy, family-owned eatery with limited seating that specializes in healthy Cantonese cuisine.

Anne Rice Books

For folks craving traditional Cantonese cuisine or a fusion of Western flavors, Delicious Food Corner has something to satisfy every palate. Cantonese cheung fun (steamed rice roll) is a common snack and dim sum must-order. Typically, the rolls are filled with shrimp, pork, beef, fish, or veggies and topped with a sweet soy sauce.

It's no secret that the bathroom is an area of the home that's particularly vulnerable to foul odors and poor air quality. Fortunately, there are many DIY remedies that will leave your bathroom smelling fresh if it starts to stink. One deodorizing hack that you may not know about is keeping a jar of rice in the bathroom at all times. Rice works as a natural odor absorber and will effectively remove foul smells from the bathroom when left inside. In the past two decades, the Southland’s Cantonese restaurants have gradually been replaced by Sichuan, Shanghai, and northern Chinese establishments due to an increase in mainland Chinese immigration.

Originally the site of St Elizabeth’s boarding school, this massive 55,000 square foot building is the former residence of Anne and Stan Rice in the decadent city of New Orleans. Built in 1865, the 3-story structure is comprised of 3 buildings and was purchased by the Rice family in 1993. The San Gabriel Valley’s Chinese food explosion began in the 1980s and 1990s when Cantonese and Taiwanese immigrants settled in the area. In the following years, Cantonese cooking rose to prominence in LA and America.

The service is always quick, no matter how busy, it's small and its one of the things I love about it. In addition to providing us with some of the greatest gothic literature of our time, Rice inspired so many others, this writer included, to pursue their dreams of becoming writers. Without her, many of us wouldn’t be here right now doing what we love.

The mansion was designed in a mixture of the Colonial Revival, Italianate, Georgian, and Beaux-Arts architectural styles. The facade is made of brick and marble and is four stories high, with an attic and basement; it is surrounded by a marble perimeter wall. On 89th Street, the first two stories are curved outward and contain a porte-cochère and a carved bas relief panel. The mansion's interior was decorated in classical architectural styles, and was intentionally designed to be soundproof. It was built with spaces such as a main hall, library, and dining room on the main floor; a chess room in the basement; and bedrooms on the upper stories.

San Juan is the second-oldest capital (after Santo Domingo Dominicana) that the Europeans/Spaniards established in the Caribbean. St. Kitts Island and its port - Port Zante (as it is officially named) - has become in the last years one of the most popular and loved cruise port destinations in the Caribbean Eastern Itineraries. The Port of San Juan in the island of Puerto Rico has a good number of highlights appealing to cruise passengers with the most diverse interests. You’ll have to take a taxi into Old San Juan for $10, or to the Condado fashion shopping strip on Ashford Avenue for $12 where the best stores are across from Ventana el Mar Park.

Seabourn Cruises unveils 2025-2026 itineraries with Japan Foliage and Caribbean voyages

Old San Juan, including the San Juan National Historic Site, La Fortaleza, Paseo De La Princesa, and many shops and restaurants, are within walking distance of the cruise ship ports. The San Juan cruise port offers historical sites, architectural delights, gorgeous beaches, tropical rainforests, and adventurous excursions. If you would prefer to stroll the streets and do a little bit of window shopping, there are plenty of shops lining the streets near the main cruise terminal. Don’t forget you will also find numerous duty-free shops within the port terminals, so save some time to browse before you board. With stunning beaches and shorelines, a historic and elegant city, and countless exciting and memorable activities just steps away, there is no reason why stopping in the San Juan cruise port can’t be an unforgettable part of your vacation.

Balneario El Escambrón (Escambron Beach)

Indeed, Puerto Rico has emerged in recent years as a "foodie" destination whose cuisine incorporates African, Caribbean, Latin and European influences and traditions. Another intimate beach, El Escambron, borders Old San Juan and the modern Condado District. Framed by a combination of ancient city fortifications and modern skyscrapers, El Escambron is San Juan's most picturesque beach and is located within Tercer Milenio Park, which offers recreational activities including stand-up paddleboarding.

Getting from the Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport to San Juan Cruise Port

Once you arrive at the destination, get a map and explore on your own the walking trails that will take you past La Coca Falls, La Mina Falls, the Yokahu Observation Tower, and the Mount Britton Lookout Tower observation point. You can opt for an easy nature walk (Juan Diego Creek trail) or a 1-hour hike on one of several hiking trails, out of which Big Tree trail is the most popular one. You will find the usual suspects like Red Lobster, Cheesecake Factory, Starbucks, and others. Plaza Las Americas is located a 20-minute drive from Old San Juan port.

Carnival Cruise Line, Norwegian Cruise Line, Holland America, MSC Cruises and other lines all have scheduled multiple San Juan calls for 2021. Several Royal Caribbean ships will target San Juan as both a home port — a city from which voyages depart round-trip — and as a port of call in 2021.

San Juan Bay

You are going to take a ride around the property, watch a movie on the history of Bacardi rum-making, and see the fascinating historical artifacts. Numerous attractions and historic landmarks in San Juan are located within walking distance of San Juan Cruise Pier, not to mention countless shops (San Juan boasts amazing duty-free shopping!), restaurants, bars, and entertainment places. Yes, the San Juan cruise port is incredibly accessible and well-connected to the city and its many attractions.

To see the full itineraries (ports of call dates and arrival / departure times) and their lowest rates – just follow the corresponding ship-link. There isn't much to see within walking distance of the Pan American Pier but there are two hotels that can be convenient for an overnight stay - the Sheraton Puerto Rico Hotel & Casino, and the Hyatt House Hotel. However, do not be fooled by the proximity of the Isla Grande Airport. This small airport only has connections with other small Caribbean islands. This is NOT the international airport with connections with US and International airports.

For Passengers03

While San Juan’s Old Town justifiably attracts its fair share of attention, the rest of the city offers plenty for those less interested in history and architecture. Extending outwards from this beautiful city is the San Juan Cruise Port. In many ways, this bustling seaport acts as the gateway to the city and the beautiful countryside beyond it. Operations at the port will continue throughout the construction period with minimal disruption.

Stop first at the Galería Botello, a 350-year-old mansion turned gallery that once belonged to Ángel Botello, a famous Galician artist who moved to Puerto Rico to hone his craft. Throughout the museum, you’ll find works by Botello, as well as paintings and ceramics by other internationally and locally recognized artists. By this time, you will likely be heading back to port, but only after grabbing lunch at nearby Barrachina, one of the oldest restaurants in the city. (Legend states this is where the first piña colada was created!) Barrachina is also located on the iconic Calle Fortaleza, one of the city’s oldest and most Instagramable streets. Better yet, Old San Juan is safe, walkable, and full of attractions and experiences – from history and art to food and beaches – making it an ideal destination for in-port excursions.

You’ll enjoy secluded beach coves, jeweled water, and sightings of wild horses that call Vieques home. If your ship is docked at Old San Juan Cruise Piers you could use the free trolley to take you to the city centre. Puerto Rico is a territory of the United States, so you can freely spend US dollars. We recommend bringing some cash if you plan to sample different dishes from street food vendors or purchase handmade souvenirs from a roadside stall.

You’ll also learn everything you need to know about visiting the San Juan cruise port for the day and get answers to commonly asked questions. When you disembark your cruise ship in San Juan, Puerto Rico, you’ll enter a city with a rich history. With plenty of sidewalk food vendors lining most streets and high-end gourmet restaurants just a short walk from the main tourist areas, you will be able to find dining experiences that match your exact preferences.
