La Peña Cultural Center

I signed up for the merengue, bachata, and salsa lessons and it’s super fun! The people here are very friendly and open

A unique place for good food and be able to watch different cultural art, dance shows, documentary movies. La Peña has been around since the 70's and has had many interesting band members from around the world play here.

Maybe I'm biased because my girlfriend has been a member of the community chorus there for decades. But it's the place to go to hear Nueva Canción songs straight in the tradition of Latin American countries. Even more perfect is the presence on-site of a Mexican restaurant, Los Cilantros, that serves dishes that will take you away from the usual rice-and-beans. You can then walk over to the auditorium for the show after your dinner.

Fantastic yoga class by Pamela. She's a lovely and thoughtful instructor, very mindful of people with achy or injured body parts. She also speaks Spanish! It's very helpful to my mom, who feels more comfortable if she gets instructions in Spanish.
