- Happy Thanksgiving!
A warm wish to all for a very happy Thanksgiving. If you're in Puerto Rico, you might be getting ready to dig into some delicious pavochón, or maybe a succulent lechón. Maybe you're watching the game, maybe you're heading to the beach. And tomorrow, maybe you'll be part of the shopping madness that really kicks off the Christmas shopping season. In case you are, here's your list of where to go for Christmas shopping. Or you can just head to Plaza Las Américas, where Christmas is already in full swing.
Either way, I hope you have a warm, safe, fulfilling and memorable long weekend!

- Talking Turkey, and Where to Eat It
Ok, so if you're in Puerto Rico (or heading there this week), I'm guessing you'd like to know where you can enjoy an old-fashioned or island-style Thanksgiving Dinner. Thankfully (to continue the theme), I've got a few options for you:- La Concha Renaissance Hotel is hosting an "Open Kitchen Brunch" on Thursday with several stations, a combination of traditional and criollo items, and a mimosa on the house. The brunch is $48 per person, $15 for children 12 or younger, and runs from 11:30-4:30.
- Koco Restaurant is throwing a Caribbean Thanksgiving feast with tropical treats starring a roasted Caribbean spiced turkey breast with sweet plantain chorizo stuffing. The feast is $36 per person.
- The Sheraton Four Points in Caguas is offering a Thanksgiving Day buffet lunch at $38 per person for adults and $20 for children (6-12); in addition to the big bird, you can enjoy red snapper (or chillo) and churrasco (skirt steak) in mushroom sauce, among other dishes.
- Want to splurge a bit? Head to the Wyndham Rio Mar for their beachfront Thanksgiving feast ($60 per adult, $25 for kids 4-12), running from noon to 6.

- From Pikayo to Payá
Last week I brought you Pikayo, which ended up as my favorite restaurant in Puerto Rico. But Chef Wilo Benet, the jolly genius behind Pikayo, has two other restaurants in San Juan, and this week I thought I'd introduce you to Payá. Payá is a far cry (physically and conceptually) from Chef Wilo's flagship restaurant, Pikayo. Where Pikayo is artistic and chic (with prices to match), Payá is down-home and casual. The one constant? The food is always good, with that unique blend of local ingredients and recipes and creative flavor combinations. The mix, in other words, of simple and complex, of the familiar and the out-of-the-box. That's Chef Wilo in a nutshell, and Payá carries it through with beyond-the-basics comfort foods. It's likely not near your hotel, and there are precious few (read: none) tourist attractions nearby (Payá is located in an office park), but if you want to try a new and affordable take on Chef Wilo's recipes, it's worth going "over there" to get it.From Pikayo to Payá originally appeared on About.com Puerto Rico Travel on Saturday, November 21st, 2009 at 19:31:27.

- Vote for your favorites...
Okay, who here knows about the QPTV Awards? Well, for the uninitiated, QPTV, or Que Pasa! TV, is the official TV channel of the Puerto Rico Tourism Company. And this year they're launching the 1st QPTV People's Choice Awards, and they want to hear from you to help decide the best in Puerto Rican tourism.
Even if you've never visited any of these selections, I thought I'd share my votes and tell you why I chose them. So ... here goes!
- Hotel of the Year: Of the candidates, I have to give it to the La Concha - A Renaissance Resort for making the biggest splash as a new hotel with beautiful architecture, sleek and stylish decor, an outstanding flagship restaurant, and a hot and sexy nightlife vibe.
- Venue for Events: The Puerto Rican Convention Center is simply a stunning building, not to mention the most state-of-the art structure of its kind in the Caribbean. It's my number one reason why event planners should host their function in Puerto Rico.
- Museum or Gallery of the Year: I was deeply impressed by the Museo de Arte de Puerto Rico the first time I saw it; after several other visits, nothing has changed. A terrific permanent collection, rotating exhibits by world-renowned artists, a lovely outdoor space and anample chilren's room, it's got it all.
- Event of the Year: I had an absolute blast at Saborea, and completely in awe of the international culinary talent in attendance.
- Touristic Spot of the Year: Wow, this was a tough one. I strongly considered El Yunque, but in the end I went with El Morro, simply for its historical value and iconic status.
- Best Restaurant: I recently answered this very tough (for me) question: the answer was, and is, Pikayo
