Top Local Tips for Santo Domingo

shoe shines and orange juice in downtown santo domingo, there are dozens of teens (mostly boys) who will offer (pester?) you to shine your shoes. It can be overwhelming to the novice, and a little unwanted, but hey, it beats having them as pickpockets. If you have shoes that need shining, let them, it's a bargain. If you're not interested, make it a firm "NO", they are persistent. Also, downtown watch for the carts w fresh oranges - you can get a cup of FRESH orange juice for about 10 pesos (35 cents US), it is like drinking candy. Tipping not expected, so if you like your vendor, slip him an extra two pesos, and it is an inexpensive way to make someone's day.
