No Street Vendors After 9PM?

The government closed the entire Boston Jerk Center in Portland for health violations. http://jamaica-gleaner.com/article/n...lth-violations

Sad. Starting our Feb trip in Portland. Maybe it will be open again by then.

Yeah I definitely got some kind of bug while eating there! Some of the sharpest stomach pains of my life!! Hopefully if it does open its actually improved... I wasn't empresses with the food when I went either.. Had wayyyyy better jerk in Belmont and also a pretty popular spot in PA proper.. Can't remember the name but it's kinda right at the beginning of the downtown area if headed north... Holy moly they are good

No late night music, no street vendors at night. Progress is one thing but this is stealing much of the charm that makes Negril the incomparable unique destination we all love so.

Did the Tea Party take over?

Did the Tea Party take over?

The ruling PNP is about as far on the other side of the political spectrum as is possible.

Some daring vendors out last night ....fewer though. The announcements via car loudspeaker has stopped....we dont know if/when they will persue this again. It is REAL.....if they are doing business, they want the to be registered/pay taxes....more to come!

I hope this does not hurt the small good food venders. I specifically want to try these guys next month and hope they are doing well:


1. "Mr Biggs" halfway between Shamrock store and Times Square shopping center
2. "Step Aside" near the Jungle property
3. "Smokey Joe" in front of the Grand Pineapple property

I had Step Aside this past XMAS/NYE and it was very good.

So, if you get a food vendor permit or a selling crafts/crap permit you can be a beach/street vendor? If so cool....it would be cooler if they all had to wear badges with numbers so tourist could complain about the bad minds who harass. Food safety is a neat concept even though I've never heard of anyone getting sick in JA unlike here at home.
