#2 - Frederiksted -

Sunset Grill - This is a drive but well worth it! The ambiance of dining with your feet in the sand and first class food and wine on your table is not to be had in many places!!

Sunset Grill is at Spratt Hole Beach - it's north of Frederiksted. $$ - on the expensive side... 772-5855

Turtle Deli - This is on the south end of the waterfront street in Frederiksted. Really great sandwiches - homemade breads! Excellent foods. Deli Prices - $$ - Moderate -

#3 - Christiansted - Christiansted is about a 20 minute drive from the house. There are a number of restaurants in town. We've not eaten at a bad one! Listed are a few:

Savant - our favorite. Excellent food - Caribbean, Asian, Moroccan flavors - or not! Their menu features such varied items as curries, Asian spring rolls, jerk shrimp, enchiladas and a goat-cheese stuffed filet mignon to die for! Daily specials featuring fresh seafood and salads. Excellent wines. $$ - on the expensive side - depending on what your order and how much you drink! Dinner only - Closed Sundays. Call for reservations. All the way thru town down on Hospital Street. 713-8666

Bacchus - Upstairs off of King Street downtown. Special deals on certain days of the week, like 2 for 1 bottles of wine on Wednesday nights... :) - Good food. Popular place. $$ - more than moderate + 692-9922

Kendrick's - At 51 ABC Company Street - this restaurant has an excellent reputation. Expensive. 773-9199

No Bones Cafe - is a casual, "hoppening" place. Somewhat of a club atmosphere in an odd location. It's down behind Gallows Bay Hardware - actually right behind Schooner Bay Market. They have a reputation for good food and good specials. 773-2128

Case's Place - another good lunch spot also good for dinner down at Gallow's Bay. Good Food. Almost across from the Ferry dock.

#4 - Salt River Marina - The marina has a restaurant. It's good food - lunch and dinner (and breakfast I think). $$ - Moderate

SHOPPING:

Groceries - There are several large grocery chains on island. We think that the Plaza Extra West (the one toward the west end on the Centerline Rd.) is probably the most comprehensive. Good deli, meat & seafood. All other food and "stuff" that you'd expect in your own market at home. On that same road - across from the K-Mart plaza is a Cost-U-Less - somewhat like a Sam's or Costco without the membership and a bit smaller. Good for beer and sodas, etc. In Christiansted - on your way into town on the right you'll pass a small market called "Food Town". This is a really nice smaller market. They often have some roasted chickens toward the end of the day - a good wine selection at reasonable prices. Good produce. On through Christiansted going to the east at Gallow's Bay is Schooner Bay Market. They have an excellent Deli and lots of prepared foods for take away dining. They also have a good bakery and good wine. Lots of nice cheeses here too.

Clothing, Misc. - There are 2 K-Marts on island. One at Sunny Isles and the other toward Frederiksted on the Center Line (Queen Mary Hwy) Road at the Sunshine Mall. There are nice boutiques downtown Christiansted where clothing and all sorts of gifts and jewlery can be purchased. Sonya's in Christiansted is the REAL beginning of the original "Hook" bracelet. IB Designs, up the street from Sonya's is an excellent source for island designed and made jewelery.

Hardware - Gallow's Bay Hardware is the most comprehensive location for any hardware or home item.

DIVING:

N2The Blue - A full-service dive outfit. They offer a wide range of personalized services and have a great reputation! Click their logo to learn more about what they have to offer. They have recently moved to a location on the north shore - not more than 5 minutes from Villa de Tortuga.
