Hi. Thanks for the report! Did you walk to Lee's? Is there any parking there? I can't tell, had you been to Lee's at the previous location? There is a Chinese restaurant at Simpson Bay Resort now? Where is it exactly?

At one time it was Le Bec Finn. I can’t remember what it was most recently. Do I have oldtimers or didn't Le Bec Fin used to be in Philipsburg? I could swear I have a picture there with the old hurricane woden shutters propped open to the water.....((now to dig through the 1990's albums...yeah, those times when people took and printed pictures! lol))

Yes, Leona, LBF was originally in town as were so many of the really good Dutch side restaurants like D’Livios (sp?), The Red Snapper, The West Indian Tavern - to name but a few who are long gone, along with a few of the hold-outs like Chesterfields, L’Escargot and Antoine’s, even if some are no longer held by the original owners. And those are just the ones that quickly come to mind.......

You are probably talking about the Seafood Galley, excellent. In front street also Il Pescatore, La Rosa, Callaloo just to mention a few others
Yes, I believe it was Seafood Galley. We stayed at Great Bay Hotel first visit and used to walk the beach into town and have breakfast at a place on the water just after the dock---American breakfast $3.00. And there was a bar in that same area where they had a memo board to leave messages for other people you might be seeking with notes to meet date time. And a jar to collect money for those you needed it.

We brought our girls to SXM in 1983 for their first trip. They enjoyed the mornings we drove into town and had breakfast at Pinocchio’s. Warm croissants fresh from the oven and fresh squeezed oj. Those days we went early to allow plenty of time to eat and shop before so many of the shops closed for their midday break and then reopened again for afternoon hours. It was so different ‘back in the day’ - not necessarily better or worse - just different. So many memories........
