Fun In Mobay like Negril...?

[smith744]

......and I definitely will be escaping for some Jamaicans vibe

oh..??..
really..??..

if that is the case,
then you MUST-Go..!!... to St.James Street

let me repeat:::>> you MUST go to Saint James Street..!!..

when i first read this thread a few days ago, my head started to spin around and around and around.

i could chat from now 'til Christmas about MoBay & StJamesSt & environs [but am gonna be brief]

GOOD food, great-prices, EXCELLENT vibes, etc etc blah blah raa raa

do a Google-map, or some online map of the city
..the internet is your friend, mi fren
.....good-good maps out der
........ALL-ways get your bearings (BEFORE-hand)

with your back to the bay/sea, if you stroll about 3-4 blocks in-land you'll hit St.James Street. On & around that street is EVERY-ting --- EVERY-THING..!!!..

Food..??.. ---- in that part of Jamaica, MoBay is where folks go to get stuff, or take care of bizness, that they can't find in their town/village/etc. So, while doing-whatever they gotta eat at some point.

Tourist don't frequent this area, so everything is geared for the residents.

They be-selling stuff all over the place ---- in shops, likkle shops, big shops, on the sidewalks, in the alleys, everywhere. You gotta check-out the '..shoe-market.' ---- Wow..!!... --- nuff-nuff shoes der

opps..!!..
'spose be chattin' 'bout food.

you'll find sit-down eateries of all kinds, with ridiculous-ly low prices for outstanding stuff. Homemade cooked-from-scratch day-OF stuff.

you may see somebody munching on something along the road/street/sidewalk --- ASK them, "..WHERE you get that..??.."

or
as i once did::>> mi-SAY::>> "..I'm hungry ... WHERE can i get something to eat..???.."

*discover-ed quite a few GREAT places by asking so.

one popular place had a buffet-line steam-table set-up that will blow you mind with options/selections-available. And of course, tipping is not expected or required.

oh
oh::>>before i forget:::>>> for the squeamish(sp?), picky-eaters, ALL these eating places are CLEAN CLEAN super-CLEAN [[period]]

for me,
a treat is always the MoBay bus park
great snacks, foods, and fun people-watching place.

as mentioned, along the side-walk you'll find sales-people selling this and that. I've seen some cute women's undergarments on those sidewalks. Cute stuff ---- next trip i'm gonna get some as gifts for a few boardies, as i run into them.

Nevertheless,
a tip::>> lot of folks work in MoBay, so,
they gotta eat breakfast na tru

if you're up early
GO to the bus park area, and i guarantee you'll stumble upon some-somebodies selling some WONDER-FULL breakfast stuff. It WON'T be eggs & bacon & pancakes, crepes, sausage, Cheerios, etc, but it'll BE GOOD..!!..

in the area
are a couple markets, too
...get some fresh fruits, drinks, etc.

* sigh *
fingers tired

jus' GO to St.JamesStreet

lata

oh
oh::>> one last thing-y::>> check out the CaptainsTable Bakery .... KFC... the pattie shop (can't remember if it's TanTan or JuicyBeef)

me gone

Smith ~ Respect! mi head a spinnin bout St. James St lol I will def try to check out the places you suggested! Yea man

[smith744]

I will def try to check out the places you suggested! Yea man

Do do that..!!..
you'll be over-glad you did
:-)

two-more thing-ys:::

first,
mid-way along the street is Sam Sharpe Square

I like to use it as a chill-out, people-watching spot

grab a pattie at the near-by shop
and chill

second,
a *trick* I *learned*:::>>>> wear sunglasses

sunglasses tend to throw-off folks (as they try to size-you-up)

...they can't see your eyes
...don't know where you looking
...masks some of your body-language

Check the guys in Negril along the beach, as they scope-out tourists:::: they wearing sunglasses
