Fine Dining Resilience: Puerto Rico’s fine dining is holding steady even as inflation squeezes operators—ASORE reports average spend of $111 per person in 2025, but restaurants say they’re absorbing higher costs rather than raising prices. Hotel Growth in the Caribbean: IHG says Q1 2026 development in the Americas jumped, with signings up 30% and an Atwell Suites debut in Puerto Rico. Local Business Expansion: Autocare opened a second Charlie Boy Wash & Lube in Bayamón, investing about $12M and creating roughly 24 jobs, with another planned this summer. Aviation Shake-Up: JetBlue is ending service to Manchester-Boston Regional Airport this summer, with travelers noting routes to Puerto Rico and New York could be affected. Tech & Culture Buzz: A “Puerto Rico Song” on TikTok went viral—and the audio is reportedly AI-generated. Healthcare Access Pressure: A new probe found many OB-GYN offices in Puerto Rico aren’t taking delivery patients, leaving gaps across municipalities. Election Security: ODNI named two officials to coordinate spy-agency work on threats to the 2026 midterms.
