Eating: Typical dish is called a casado. It is rice and beans and comes with either chicken, beef or fish. American style food can also be found. Ceviche is also good at many resturants like chelles on avenida central. Chubbs is an american owned bar at Parque Morazon and has great food and good beer prices. Mostly locals hang out there now, can be a good meeting place.
A place that has pretty good casados is La Casa Josefina, which is not far from Hotel Presidente.
In general, you can go to many nice restaurants and ask for the menu ejecutivo at lunch time if you want a nice complete lunch of general variety. This is what many locals with decent jobs do and you get a nice lunch at a decent price.
A seafood restaurant that I recommend is called La Princesa Marina. They have several around town. The food is pretty good and the prices are not touristy.
