6:45 AM — Walk the block to Ocean Park while the light is still pink; the calm end is empty and the water is warmest-feeling before the wind picks up. Swim. 8:00 — Coffee at Regina on the way back, cup in hand for the courtyard. 10:00 — Pool and a book, then back to the shade.
1:00 PM — Lunch at Hilda. Get the prosciutto, sweet peppers and burrata, and eat it wherever you are. 3:00 — Siesta; the tile floors run cool underfoot, which is the hotel's quietest luxury. 5:30 — Golden hour: back to the beach for the long light, or a lap in the pool while the courtyard turns amber.
7:30 — Walk to the other end of the block, where Calle Loíza's kitchens are just hitting their rhythm — ask us for this week's honest list. 10:00 — The two-minute walk home, which is the part everyone underestimates until they've done it.
