Noon to Dusk MP Tour Option A: Ok you managed to keep your socks on so far? Good man. Day one does not need to be a sprint. Chicas are getting to work now and you can do a bit of an MP tour. Here’s one route I’ve landed on. Sometimes I don’t make it all the way through… sometimes I do and circle back. From where you came in the Mercado (Av Central & Calle 6):
Go back one block east to Calle 4 and head south about 4 blocks. Just south of Av 8 you’ll find Pension Monica’s and another shop across the street, forget the name. Back on Av 8 go east 8 blocks to Calle 11. This is a long stretch, I grab a beverage somewhere and maybe a snack. Turn right and head south on Calle 11. You’ll find Relax and Idem on the block across from each other. Have an expensive coke light at Idem. Idem and Monicas show up on a standard Google map. Although I think Monica's is pinned on the wrong side of the street.
Want more? Continue south on Calle 11 about 2.5 blocks until you get to a park - Parque de Los Mercaditos. Across the park’s south west corner you’ll find neighbors Erotica III (blue building) and La Mansion (green building). Just a bit further south on Calle 11 is Skate Park - Plaza Gonzalez Viquez. Golden (aka Manos Magicos) is nearby at the corner of Calle 17 and Transversal 13 with a Costco quality "Open" sign in the front window. You have that phone with GPS and maps right?
You can take Calle 11 back north pretty much all the way back to the gulch. Or grab a taxi if you're weak in the knees.
Look up the intersections in advance, throw down a map pin or two and boom! You are a 21st century cocksman who just saw 6-7 MPs in an hour or two... assuming you didn't take an extended break at one of the stops.

Not to fear monger, but keep your wits about you and realize that anyone can be in the wrong place at the wrong time, even if you are on your game. And that applies to most any city, not just SJ. We're part of the vice trade and all that goes with it. Mind the do nots in post #1.
Many, many CRTers have their fun without drama or problems.
