When
in St. John, one must go over to Coral Bay and eat at Skinny Legs. You can get one heck of a hamburger there
served amidst chickens and stray dogs...and all kinds of people. It’s a fun place. Their motto is “same
day service”, but we’ve rarely had to wait for too long. In any case, they keep the rum runners and VI
beers coming at a steady pace so you can’t really find too much to complain
about.

I think Melissa may have had too many Rum Runners...

Our
other favorite lunch place is called “The Tourist Trap.” The first time we spied this place we were a
bit on the skeptical side, but now we wouldn’t miss it for anything. They serve terrific Bloody Marys and even
better pulled pork sandwiches. My friend
Dona and I fell for the Trap Dog, a spicy hotdog served on a New England style
bun (the owner is from New Hampshire) with pulled pork and spicy slaw and we
both got it the two times we managed to get over to the Trap on this last trip. Now, the décor in this place is truly funky
and you eat under a tarp that flaps so hard sometimes in the island wind that
it’s hard to hear yourself think. But
then, who wants to think, man…we’re on vacation.

| Hi from The Tourist Trap |
 |
| When I first saw this, I didn't get it. But then I realized it was a high-top table and since I am on the short side, I could read it without actually being "under the table." |
 |
| The Tourist Trap has truly unique decor. |
