Tet kale?Tet chaje?Tet panye?Will you go out tonight? How's nightlife in haitian capital?yes, really how's nightlife in Port-au Prince Mandaly...

What is tèt panye anyway ☺

In Port-au-prince, you’ll find plenty of excitement.

You might want a tourist’ point of view of Port-au-Prince’s nightlife for visitors.
For travelers who wants to play it safe, the fun is concentrated in the areas of Kenscoff, Petionville, and Delmas (generally in downtown Port-au-Prince) where the hotels, restaurants, night clubs are alive with a mixture of Konpa, Twoubadou, and Merennge music. You can also have as much Barbancourt, Guiness, and Heineiken as you want while sampling the many varieties of spicy Caribbean dish offered.  Movies in theaters are played in French or they might be dubbed in French mostly.

But the areas where tourists are cautioned not to approach at night have a charm of their own.

Whether there’s electricity or not, the fun goes on. On the big streets, you can count on finding a fritay stand in each corner where the fried plantains, fried fish, patat, griyo and pikliz smell so good that you’d have to stop and get a dish for yourself.

If you’re not into fried foods there are plenty of wine colored sugar cane in the street corners, and the vendors always peel off the husks.

Radios from the shops are always blasting some konpa music. You’ll hear the music whatever street you’re on.

And if you’ve ever been to Haiti, you know the streets are always crowded with walkers. It doesn’t stop after sunset. People hang out at store fronts, in the streets, on their rooftops, and there’s always a crowd in front of houses that are equipped with televisions. Some people would hide their TVs, but God bless those who put their TVs on their porches especially when there’s a soccer game.

So the night atmosphere, whether in the center of town or in the suburbs, is usually energetic especially on the weekends.

Now, you got to tell me what tèt panye is :)
