K and E Cake Pops are visually festive and fun to eat on-the-go or at parties — no plates or forks needed. The new business has a fascinating behind-the-scenes story, too. The baked goods are made by two savvy 11-year-old girls who own and operate the business.
A stylish sign high above American Yacht Harbor on the East End of St. Thomas reads, “Eat Shop Play Fish.” As is the case with many tropical destinations, AYH has a colorful past. In the late 1950s, a lone dirt road was the only way to reach the area by land.
A Flamboyan favorite, Mim’s Seaside Bistro is a sparkling gem of a restaurant offering American cuisine with special emphasis on seafood. June 15, 2022 marked the 30th anniversary of the popular enterprise. What an impressive achievement!
