    Best steak

    I’ve ordered from both, and honestly, it’s a tough call! Kansas City steaks are super tender and juicy, while Chicago steaks have that nice aged flavor. Doing a taste test sounds like a blast—just make sure to grill ‘em right! You’ll probably have a clear favorite after that.

We have several windows that are in near perfect condition, but need to have the mechanism that allows the window to stay open replaced. I believe there are...

    Great accountant on the North Coast?

    Like with so many professions here, finding a good (not even great) accountant here has been extremely frustrating to say the least.

    Any luck with Claro Business Account Reps in POP office?

    I spent many an hour in the past (most of them less than worthwhile) dealing with the business department at Claro in POP. I don't even know if they have a separate department anymore. I've had much better luck dealing with the business center in Santiago, but it's only been about Cell/Data...

    NFL Network Channel 71 on Delancer...GONE?!?

    I know there is a recent thread on NFL Network, but this is specific to the Sosua/Cabarete area so I started a new thread.

    Importing renewable energy equipment (wind, solar, hydro)

    Not sure if this post makes most sense in Living, Legal, or Government, but I'm looking for information on DR tax incentives for companies (in this case a hotel) importing renewable energy equipment to improve the "green-ness" of the business and lowering the use of energy from Edenorte. I know...

    Looking for Bragg's Apple Cider Vinegar

    They had it in La Sirena and Nacional in Santiago up until last month, but just checked recently and couldn't find it, looked at Bravo also. Has anyone seen it around? Preferably in Santiago or on the North Coast. It doesn't have to be Bragg's but it does have to be raw and unfiltered. Thanks!
