Sound good? Alright! Well, Lovango Resort + Beach Club is making it easier for all of us to head out to the Cay for an exquisite lunch over the next few weeks with their new lunch shuttle from St. John.
Bars and Restaurants
The Inn at Tamarind Court Restaurant is OPEN!
The Inn at Tamarind Court was a local gem of a place with several affordable guest rooms for let and a fantastic bar and restaurant where breakfast was served daily. Pop-up nights with local “celebrity” chefs and themed cuisine kept the place packed for dinner several nights a week and the bar was always filled with local wildlife during happy hour. Hurricane Irma ravaged the budget friendly inn with a spectacular Cruz Bay location in September of 2017. And, after two years of clean up and construction, the Inn at Tamarind Court announced in January of 2020 that their guest rooms were once again ready for seasoned St. John travelers. But, the favorite watering hole and eatery remained closed. Until now….

Two St. John Favorite Restaurants Re-Opening!
Hello to you all and happy Fri-YAY! Two of my personal favorite restaurants on St. John announced their re-opening plans this week, just in time for the start of the holiday season.
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.
