Food - Pieces of Ate II

This is our new favorite summer drink-it's fizzy, cold, and not too sweet. It's the Tap Room's own Ginger Beer plus pineapple-infused vodka, and-this is critical-fresh lime juice.

$6 at the Tap Room, Mongoose Junction. (340) 998-1333

After a day at the beach, or a really tough day at work, what you might need is...nachos. Just good, classic nachos. Margarita Phil's does a nice job on theirs because the layers are "airy" enough that you don't get left with soggy orphans.

$9 at Margarita Phil's, Cruz Bay across from the National Park dock. (340) 693-8400

Asian Pear Flambé served in a martini glass is your reward for being a good person. Caramelized pear chunks sunk deep in vanilla ice cream with crunchy tempura crumbs on top is a treat not to be shared with anyone. Keep it all for yourself.

$5 at Happy Fish, in the Marketplace in Cruz Bay. (340) 776-1717
