As soon as I stepped through the door of Chocobar Cortés late in June 2021, I was met by a wall plastered with an image of the indy superhero La Borinqueña, created by Nuyorican graphic novelist Edgardo Miranda-Rodriguez, it was an image I’m quite familiar with, but did not expect to see in the bustling chocolate-themed restaurant. On a recent trip to the island organized by the tourism board’s website, Discover Puerto Rico, I visited Chocobar Cortés during a tour aimed at showcasing how the country has handled reopening to tourists in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. I also got to see a number of new attractions aimed at getting both locals and visitors to explore all that the popular Caribbean nation has to offer. The biggest surprise of which was the presence of La Borinqueña.
