We want to help you close out the year on the right foot. Below is a list of places open to the public in Puerto Rico after the islandwide blackout on New Year's Eve. These spots are also an option for getting out of the house if you don't have power.
The places on this list were shared by the Platea community on social media and reviewed by us, but we know that when the power is out, plans can get complicated. We encourage you to confirm or call ahead before you go.
