There was a great cheap kinda cheesy restaurant called La Cascada (the waterfall). Tons of seafood cheap.
You can go to J street (calle Jota) the area of ill repute and drink cheap beer and enjoy the show. There's a place there that sells a 25cent plate of spaghetti for the 3am munchies.
The locks are cool to see in the daytime.
Fishing in gatun lake you can fill a 48 quart cooler with peacock bass in a couple hours.
Just some ideas.
