39th Anniversary of Grenada's Independence

Grenada's independence days are always in the month of Feb. To find out specific day to any year, google grenada's independence day + current year. Or get in touch with someone from Grenada's Board of Tourism site.

Tomorrow will be Grenada's 39th Independence day (2.7.2013).  If you make it out to town, you will be able to witness raw Grenadian pride, amongst many uniforms, smiles, and and many food vendors (don't forget to bring some money and a camera).

I hope you make it out to this amazing cultural event.

Directions:
From SGU, take a school bus to Rubis gas station.  Walk up around the corner towards roundabout to local bus stop.  Take a number 1 bus to last stop St. George's (3EC).  Get off at last stop and (facing away from bus stop), walk left. Stadium will be on right.

Sweet Traditions Bakery Cafe. Saint George's. Grenada, West Indies.


I have to say that this is the most legit bakery in Grenada.  They have a wide selection of baked goods at great prices and they have a lot of customers daily (high turn over rates= everything's always fresh).  

Their treats have a certain style to them, different from what I'm accustomed to in America.  For example, their cheesecakes are more on the whipped cream like than the traditional American, dense and rich, cheesecake.  All differences aside, I think that they're great and that everything is worth trying out.  There aren't that many bakeries around the island to begin with and with the ones that exist, this one is my favorite. 

Chairs and tables are available inside and best of all, the bakery is air conditioned.  Also, If you have other shopping to do (souveniers, postcards, clothes, shoes) Esplanade Mall is the place to be.   

My favorites:
*Brownie (Sometimes they over-bake them a bit, making them a little chewy. MmMmm)
*Corn Muffin. Corn Bread, Heck Yea!
*Butter Bread right out of the oven (the butter is more prominent this way)
*Their Chicken is various sauces are really good in flavor and size too!
*Beef Grande Patty (I like these patties better than the traditiona Jamaican patty since they're not nearly as oily)
