Guidebook for Panamá
Food Scene
Super cheap, local spot. Get the shrimp bruschettas (Kabobs). They're bacon wrapped and TO DIE FOR. Buckets of beer are cheap, so is fresh juice (seasonal). Ceviche's also a good bet, as are Patacones. Service like all cheap spots in Panama is so/so but soooo worth it!!

Good, high end but CHEAP movies almost always in English. Go online to book tickets or get there about an hour before the movie to get a good ticket. If you speak English, choose Subtitulado, which means English with Spanish subtites. Gotta love Panama!
