Savor fresh lobster at La Langouste
Flamands Bay’s most talked-about resident may be Cheval Blanc St–Barth, and, with Michelin-starred French chef Jean Imbert behind the menu at fine-dining restaurant La Case, we certainly understand why. But it’s worth slipping off your sandals and walking further down the shore to the more tucked-away La Langouste, whose name should give you a hint at the house specialty. The Creole-accented menu is dominated by local spiny lobster, grilled fresh from the tank and served alongside a trio of Chef Michel Lefèvre’s signature sauces. Deemed the best lobster on the island by locals, the casual beachside restaurant is a go-to for lunch — and a welcome break from the haute hotspots.

Tango for two in Almagro
Tango is like oxygen in this city, but it can be hard to know where to start breathing it. The Almagro neighborhood is the place. Take inspiration from the Carlos Gardel mural on the corner of Anchorena and Zelaya streets before popping into his former home turned museum. Get your footwork fancy down in a group class at La Catedral milonga, a dance hall with a live DJ. Traveling solo? Book a tango taxi, or dance partner paid by the hour, with whom to try a few rounds on the dancefloor, then wind down at El Boliche de Roberto, a bar notable frequented by musicians whose mournful melodies always pack out this tiny, authentic spot.

Scope the city from on high (but with fewer crowds)
Taking the foot trail at Morro da Urca, the gateway to Sugarloaf Mountain, not only bypasses the touristy cable car queues, it rewards you with one of Rio’s most picturesque strolls. Accessible via Praia Vermelha, the path features staircases crafted from tree trunks and plenty of native wildlife, including white-tufted-ear marmosets and Rufous-bellied thrush. Stretching more than 700 meters above sea level, it offers an unforgettable view of Botafogo Beach; in the distance, Christ the Redeemer appears like a miniature action figure on the horizon. As the afternoon winds down, the cable car descent is complimentary.

See contemporary Caribbean art
Set in a handsome neoclassical building with doric columns and arched windows, the Museo de Arte de Puerto Rico (MAPR) is the largest museum in the Caribbean — and arguably the most compelling. Its sleek white-walled galleries hold art dating back to the 17th century; standouts from the permanent collection include contemporary pieces by Puerto Rican artists such as Carlos Dávila-Rinaldi, whose pop-art paintings explore themes like violence and racism, and Rafael Trelles, who paints fantastical scenes to illustrate humanity’s fragmented sense of reality. After your visit, spend some time in the 2.5-acre garden in the back, dotted with sculptures and lush autochthonous trees.

Sip some local spirits at Wolf Lane Distillery
Behind a set of heavy doors, in an unassuming laneway in the heart of the CBD, you’ll find Wolf Lane Distillery, a surprisingly bright and light micro-distillery. Pop in for a quick tasting and to learn how the gin is distilled, and see if you can identify the flavors of the region (sticky-sweet mango, Davidson plum and pepper-berry,) before leaving with some souvenir bottles. If time permits, head across the lane to the dimly lit Three Wolves cocktail joint for some boozy home-grown drinks shaken and stirred by dapper bartenders.

See the catch of the day come in
Wake up before the sun and head to the Sassoon Dock, about 15 minutes from the port, to soak up the sounds and smells of one of the city’s busiest fishing docks. By the time you get there, dozens of boats and trawlers will be emptying their bounty — giving you front-row access to the morning’s auctions. You will be jostling for elbow room with fishmongers, gulls, and cats—everyone trying to get their share of the catch before the market dissolves by 8 a.m. With Mumbai’s favorite pomfret, seerfish, mackerel, crabs, octopus, rays, and tuna rolling in, this is a photographer’s delight.

Treat yourself to the best pizza in Italy
You are in Campania, after all, the region known for making the finest pies in the Boot. Instead of heading into Naples, which can raise even the most seasoned traveler’s blood pressure, make the pilgrimage to Pepe in Grani in the town of Caiazzo. One of the most inspired of all the Campanian pizzerias for offering the classics but with specialties all its own — try the La Scarpetta, layered with grana, buffalo mozzarella, and sauce made from three different types of tomatoes — the restaurant has been on the list for the best pizza in the world for years. (Yes, such a list exists, and yes, locals treat it like the Bible.) If you don’t feel like making the drive, Sorrento’s own Da Franco (Corso Italia 265; 39-0818772066) is also a knockout, with tasty, well-priced Neapolitan-style pies, cold beer, and a cool local vibe.
