Good stuff you have there guys, spot on the Ave. Venezuela article, and La Barra Payan tradition you portray is 100% correct and accurate. It is a vital point in Santo Domingo night and day lifestyle.

Good job.

I couldnt find any details on foreign embassies or who to contact if you find your self in trouble, would this be a good thing to add to future editions - emergency telephone numbers etc, I may have missed them

We are in the middle of updating the list, confirming numbers etc.
It will be in the directory section later today.

Looks great Rob, but unless I missed it, I didn't see any hotels listed in the directory...?

Nope.

What you see online is the content from the print version.

We didn't include hotels as most people will see the printed guide when they are actually in Santo Domingo.

Eventually the directory will be updated and the hotel reservations and questions will be handled by dr1travel.com

dr1travel is also a new product and a first for the Dominican Republic.
It's in "beta" but will be available very soon for reservations etc.

dr1travel also gives you an insight into the "coming soon" new look of dr1.com

Did you want the comments in here or on the comments section of the page?

Here goes:

The Nightlife section is pretty good, except for a couple omissions, one very obvious hot spot being Dock. But you could also ad Nu-Bar, Le Suite, Amika, etc. Asides from that some more descriptions would be good, like daily happy hour 5-8pm - LED open after hours - Cinema Cafe, Live Jazz on thursdays, ect. Links to the bars websites could also be a good idea. And also adding Gentleman's clubs, i.e. Doll House, would be good to include aswell. I guess this all depends on what you recieve in return, but for a "complete" guide, these additions would make it better. Links to nighlife pages, like 809k.com wouldn't be bad either. I'd be happy to add some more input if you wish.

btw I pitched the idea of putting an ad in the guide to Cinema Cafe's owner, as tourist spending would probably pay for the add many times over, not sure if he went for it.

Definately a great project, I'm sure it will be succesful.
