In-Depth Information
( 340-777-3668; 9715 Estate Thomas; mains $8-11; breakfast & lunch; )
The island's yoga-philes hang out at yin-yang decorated wood tables, tucking into organ-
ic specials, such as the blackened tofu wrap, and the everyday list of toasted sandwiches
(go for the hummus and rosemary goat cheese). The Buddha is also popular for breakfast,
thanks to the long list of organic coffee drinks and egg sandwiches. Cash only. It's attached
to an incense-wafting gift store located in the Guardian Building, a strip mall near the road
that leads to Paradise Point.
Drinking & Entertainment
Most live music happens at the resorts and bars on the East End. Downtown Charlotte
Amalie doesn't have much of a scene, except for a couple spots on Waterfront Hwy.
Havensight and Yacht Haven Grande have bars where martinis swirl for happy hour
and DJs take over as the evening progresses. Check
St Thomas/St John This Week

)
to see what's on. The
Reichhold Center for the Arts
(
www.reichholdcenter.com
)
, west of town near the airport, is the main concert arena.
Green House
BAR
(
www.thegreenhouserestaurant.com
;
Waterfront Hwy, Charlotte Amalie; )
Char-
lotte Amalie's long-time, go-to bar-restaurant attracts a big dance crowd on Tuesday nights
when a DJ spins hip-hop, R&B and Caribbean rhythms and drink prices dive to two-for-
one. The revelers are mostly under 30, West Indian and dressed in some fine threads. The
party begins at 9:30pm.
Tavern on the Waterfront
LIVE MUSIC
(
www.tavernonthewaterfront.com
;
Waterfront Hwy, Charlotte Amalie)
The Euro-
tinged tavern hosts live jazz on Fridays from 7pm to 10pm. It's typically a piano-drums-
vocal trio, but other musicians sometimes drop in. The room is also a fine-dining establish-
ment that attracts an older crowd.
Big Kahuna Rum Shack
BAR
(
www.bigkahunausvi.com
;
Waterfront Hwy, Charlotte Amalie; )
The Big Kahuna
caters to 20-somethings smoking it up at the open-air bar, listening to rock and using the
free wi-fi. It's a good setting to try a USVI-made Blackbeard Ale.
