Restaurant Update- October Brings New Horizons
Hello All- And a happy Tuesday to you! We just returned from sailing Asante back from Grenada and have arrived home to see so many new things happening at some of our favorite establishments. It’s always wonderful coming back this time of year to see new growth and change and excitement about what is on the horizon line for the season. So, I thought maybe I should take some time to share some of these exciting happenings with you today! (The above photo is St. John on the horizon after three days at sea~ Isn’t she beautiful?)
Adored Deli to Re-Open its Doors!
Wow. Lot’s of re-opening news this week! All of which is progress and, in my opinion, super positive 🙂 This one made me smile from ear to ear, with the prospect of an Uncle Peep on the horizon lines…
Local Livin’: Baked With Love in Love City
A while back, I was privileged enough to sit down for dinner with two dynamic and talented St. John born women to chat about their homegrown business in Coral Bay. An ingenious build out of a shipping container with the lingering smells of freshly baked treats sits adjacent to the building that used to house Pickles in Paradise. And within the walls of this shipping container, Ann Monsanto and Brenda Stephenson create magical, freshly baked flavors on par with the quality of a decadent corner bakery in Manhattan with the charm and hospitality of Love City. Building their dreams, one muffin at a time.

Happy Cinco de Mayo!
It’s a tequila drinking, taco eating, salsa dunking, mariachi dancing kinda Wednesday and the weather on St. John today is looking beautifully cooperative for a mid-day Margarita in the sun and sand.

Well, there are quite a few options for those of your feeling festive on island for a tasty tequila libation, south of the border snack or simply a good time in the sunshine!
