What are the plans for NYE? I was contemplating spending nye over there, but still deciding since I am not sure what my options are.
When I was there in November, two ticas told me that some bars at el Pueblo were opened past curfew hours until like 5am. Of course I didn't go because my "I am going to get robbed" alarm went off.
I went to El Pueblo with a couple of Ticas about 10 years ago. And there were a few times I felt a little comfortable and I saw nothing but locals.
Yep, that is why they closed Centro Comercial El Pueblo on Calle Blancos (commonly known as El Pueblo) in 2017 after the third killing in it's narrow alleyways. Last I heard it will soon be torn down for a 4 story building. But hey, if you want to accompany two random hookers to a vacant building lot at 5am in a desperate country, be my guest. I bet they even have their own driver experienced in avoiding the police. Just ignore the rope, plastic garbage bags, and gas cans back. They are just there for ambiance.
Honestly, the OP's plans of a champagne stocked room within the safe confines of the SL make sense. But if some of you guys need more adventure than what you find in a chica's arms, engage an informed, prepared wingman. One that lives here, knows the scene and the players, and stays sober. If you can't do that, stay home.
(just an aside, the ticas were probably referring to an un-named speakeasy in a pueblo (town) rather than the specific El Pueblo location. these are numerous, some only slightly safer than an abandoned building lot. if you don't know the destination, don't go along for the ride)
