There are few places on STX that I can truly walk into without reservations. And I’m not referring to those oh, so necessary reservations like “Hey we’d like a table at 8:30″ kind of reservations, I mean the kind of place that doesn’t instill a small level of fear when I order from the menu. [...]

Tales of the Cocktail & New Orleans part 1

Jul 27, 2010 2 Comments

Oh, where to begin… New Orleans is a complex city. They love to flaunt their paradoxical ways in your face like a drag queen Lutheran pastor tickles his flock with a righteous feather boa.

Cruzan Rum Distillery

Feb 12, 2010 4 Comments

The first thing you notice as you drive into the Cruzan Rum distillery is how small the operation looks.  The ubiquitous Cruzan Rum sign, frocked by palm fronds and guinea grass, sits out front in the Caribbean sun comfortable in its age, challenging nearby dilapidated sugar mills to crumble before it.

Exotic Excess

Here on the rock, if you’re here long enough, you begin to long for those small comforts of the continental states. Live music from somebody new, the ability to drive for more than 40 minutes without having to turn around, terrible 24 hr fast food joints, teenage girls stripping on ice cream trucks, (Just kidding, [...]

Party Like A Rock Star…

Living in the Caribbean can be tough sometimes. Imagine a land of perpetual summer, sunny skies and 80 degree weather. Every day. All year long.
