  • Avenida George Washington
    This is going to be my totem street art for 2015. Cool vibes only! A lot of the street art I ended up finding in Santo Domingo was in the Malecon section, by the ocean. This sort of boardwalk street has been a locals hang out spot for decades. Photography by Ruddy Harootian
  • Av. 30 de Marzo 140, Santo Domingo 10201, Dominican Republic
    After a night of partying Dominicans in Santo Domingo head to popular old school spot Payan. It became my favorite place to eat not only because of their luscious pork leg sandwiches, but also all of the freshly made juices they offer. It was about 6AM and I was starving after a night of dancing. Try the “Payan Especial” along with a soursop juice made with whole milk. That’s what the locals that have been coming here for over 50 years order. Thank me later! Photo by Ruddy Harootian
  • 106 Calle Emiliano Tejera
    La Casa De Los Dulces translates to The House of Sweets in English. You can see why this is every kids favorite spot in the colonial section of Santo Domingo. I used to visit all the time. It brought back so many memories to return and the owner was still there! He recognized my mom immediately. This place only sells the very best and everything is fresh. It would be a mistake to go to the island and not make a stop here. If you are looking for “traditional” and want to eat what the locals love, then this is the place. Try the milk desserts that are filled with coconut or guava. They also have all kinds of treats made with caramel.

  • Yamasá 92000, Dominican Republic
    The crackling of the hot oil. The undeniable taste of the yuca in my mouth. You really just had to be there. I haven’t eaten out on the street on this trip the way I ate in Mexico City. You definitely have to be more careful in Santo Domingo. But when you find that clean looking vendor that has somewhat of a crowd, go for it! Photography by Ruddy Harootian.
  • 1000 5th Ave, New York, NY 10028, USA
    The Metropolitan Museum of Art—or, commonly, the Met—is one of the world’s great museums, alongside the Louvre, the British Museum, and a handful of others. It would be easy to devote an entire week’s visit to the museum alone, and realistically you probably won’t get far beyond a few exhibitions and galleries at one shot. The Costume Institute’s temporary shows are always popular, while others will (like the museum itself) focus on a range of regions and periods—at any one time there may be temporary exhibitions on an Italian Renaissance painter, miniatures from Mughal India, and Polynesian carvings. The Temple of Dendur, a roughly 43' x 21' x 16' temple that dates to around 15 B.C.E. and was given by the government of Egypt to the United States in 1967, is one of the museum’s most photographed (and Instagrammed) works. The 34 period rooms, including a 12th-century cloister, English parlor and a Shaker “retiring” room, are among the museum’s other highlights. On summer evenings, site-specific installations make the rooftop terrace is a favorite place for drinks. The general admission of $25 for adults, $12 for students, and $17 for seniors is a suggested one for New York residents, as well as students from New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut. Whatever you pay also includes same-day entry to The Met Cloisters.
  • Liberdade, São Paulo - State of São Paulo, Brazil
    This particular piece of street art in the Liberdade neighborhood of Sao Paulo in Brazil perfectly describes how much Japanese influence the city has. I found this across the street from the community Japanese garden.
