Sharing places to eat near to our place.
If you want to enjoy a really tasty b.i.g fresh roti for lunch, Don's is the place. Don't get there late, or you will have to wait. Get there by 11:20am to beat the rush. Don's is near enough, but I recommend taking a shared taxi to get there and back from my space - approx TT$5 / each way. The area is busy and parking is limited. If driving get creative, or take a copilot / passenger / purchaser. It . is . worth . the . effort. P. S. you c.a.n refridgerate roti over night and reheat in a toaster oven for approx 12 minutes ... but, ... why? Leftovers? Not us!

Shopping Malls / Plazas

If you don't have a car, or just prefer to walk, the Starlite Shopping Plaza (and the Massy supermarket there), are very close by. P.l.e.a.s.e. note that there is a walk-over (pedestrian) bridge to cross the multi-lane highway. Locals take their chances at the traffic lights, but since the walk-over was installed, the lights are no longer programmed for pedestrian crossing. Eating places, supermarket, banks, atm's, pharmacy.

Due to traffic flow, by car (driving or taxi), this supermarket (Alyce Glen) would be my first choice. On foot I would choose Massy Starlite. (see separate listing nearby) Massy Alyce Glen (Morne Coco Rd.) houses an in-store pharmacy and a separate office and stationery store. They also have a deli that offers ready-made lunches daily.

Flagship store at West Bees Shopping Plaza (see separate listing). Competitive prices make this a very busy supermarket. Might take a little longer to get in and out because of both vehicular and customer traffic. Even with GPS available, it's very convenient to refer to it as a base landmark when giving directions.

This is a centre of Carnival activity. This continues to be the place to be for Carnival. This site is also steeped in history. It was given to the people of Trinidad and Tobago by its former owners to remain as a shared green space.
