In Pursuit of Great Malbec
Fresh from a social media marketing conference in San Diego, USA, I was trolling social media (aka doing research) when I noticed a post from my neighbourhood wine bar on Instagram : “cellar8kgn: We are ready for our first “Sunday Wine Dinner” hosted by “Our Wine Guys”! Tonight it’s a #Malbec Dinner, where we’ll learn about the Malbec varietal and enjoy a paired three-course gourmet dinner with some amazing Malbecs, all in great company!!” Whil ... Read More
Dinner At Seven Prime
Seven Prime Restaurant is a quiet oasis on Montego Bay’s famed Gloucester Ave, referred to as the Hip Strip (bottom road, as the locals say) and, unlike its counterparts that feature balcony views of the Caribbean Sea, Seven Prime sits to the back of Altamont West Hotel. This unique setting offers an outside, tranquil dining experience, with trees and birds chirping (quick check, we are still on bottom road, no? Yeah!). If you are seeking a tranquil spot to relax after work sans TV screen ... Read More

THE REGGAE MILL BAR
On the hunt for a new watering hole? We recommend the just-opened Reggae Mill Bar inside The Devonshire at the historic Devon House. The brainchild of Alexx Antaeus and Orlease King, operators of the Greek eatery Opa!, which has also relocated to the iconic Hope Road address that was once home to Jamaica’s first black millionaire George Stiebel, the Reggae Mill is meant to complement the restaurant (meals from Opa! can be ordered there if you so choose), while also acting as a standalone ...
