Default The Best of Santo Domingo

I was interested in putting together a list of top things to do in Santo Domingo (sightseeing attractions, museums, restaurants, nightlife, shopping, etc).

The question being posed is: If you had 2 days in Santo Domingo, what would be on your "must do" or "must see" list?

I imagine you are talking about Los Tres Ojos and the Presidential Palace Tour is still free but must be booked 10 days in advance. Thanks for the suggestions, keep them coming!!

I forgot to say the lakes under the caves,people do boat trips thru the caves ,the water is so crystal clear you can see all the fish(the ones that have not been eaten) ,1 one filmed there was the goonies,the name of the caves is los tres ojos.

The restaurant is geared for tourists but that is what this thread is about. I keep returning time and time again.
