Has anyone been to East Coast recently? Looking for the latest intel.
Specifically interested in:
- Current price ranges
- Best areas right now
- Any safety concerns to be aware of
- New venues worth checking out
I was there 6 months ago and had a decent time. Wondering if things have changed.
Any recent trip reports would be helpful.
Cheers
Avoid Playa 5th Ave? Or is it fine?

First time was a learning experience. Second time was much better. Experience makes all the difference.

Spot on with the prices. Matches what I paid recently.

Good info. Going during the week is much better — less crowded and better prices.

Word of caution — be careful with street touts. Other than that, great destination.
