Not fancy, but a different option, is a Nicaraguan restaurant. My favorite item on the menu is Canoa de Maduro, whole ripe plantain filled with choice of beef, chicken, or pork and topped with mozzarella.

Do I really need to say anything about this? I guess you may not know that you can ride to the top in the little round pods and see a great view of the city from windows at the top. Nice park area surrounds.

It is hard to describe, but City Museum is a hit with adults and children. Climb around, take the 10-story slide from the top floor to the bottom, ride the Ferris wheel on the roof, or dare to step into the bus that is "hanging off" the edge of the roof. City Museum lot parking is just $5 but cash only. There are parking meters on the street nearby.
