Really, 6 inches, I dont remember that? lol, only one time! From an experienced west end walker always pays attention to the traffic, at all times, and everyting will be alright.

You dont? lol, it scared the **** out of me.

Then again. My judgement may have been cloudy that day?

Ox tail at Sips & Bites. Bring a can of Old Bay seasoning from home to give them.

Oh, Old Bay - really? I'm not the OP, but as a Marylander - CAN DO!

I never had a problem with the road at night. In fact I find it easier to walk at night because you can see headlights coming before the cars. That makes it easier to cross the street although there's often someone around that will spot traffic for you if you need to cross. My suggestion is to stay off the road when all the traffic is headed to Ricks for sunset and then leaving after sunset. The road is full of van's coming and going at that time and space on the road can get tight. Always be careful on the road and I suggest getting a cab if you've been drinking and have to walk a good distance. You don't want to stumble or stagger on that road especially when there's a lot of traffic. After a couple trips you'll learn where the tight spots are and where there's more walking room etc.

I suggest doing the pub crawl if you're not familiar with the area. You'll get a really good idea of the lay of the land and get to visit many of the places suggested already.

Be careful on the road (as everyone said), but don't be afraid to walk it at night with a flashlight. I love that road at night. And although it's narrow and drivers seem crazy, they aren't really going that fast so it isn't really dangerous unless you aren't paying attention.

And make sure you visit Ras Rody's. The food is great (and I'm not really an ital sort of guy) and the experience better.

Definitely Aubies for a burger, Ivans for a sunset dinner, Xtabi for snorkelling, and 3 Dives for jerk chicken.
The experience up on the cliffs is so much different than the beach. Both fantastic in their own ways, but like being in two completely different places.

We def know the traffic dangers. We always have a flashlight and we put lights on our backpack. I remember a few times walking hugging the wall... I can't wait to check out these spots. We have ventured to the cliffs but always with people who knew where they were going... Thanks for the suggestions
