My Kingston - Kamal Bankay
What are your earliest memories of Kingston?
Growing up in the 80s in Kingston was quite interesting. I lived at West Road on the UWI Mona campus and the houses had no burglar bars! Playing every sport imaginable with my friends (who, by the way, are still the friends I go to the club with to this day). And, of course, Hurricane Gilbert and JPS power cuts!
What do you miss most when you are not in Kingston?
I miss the people, especially the ones that remember me. From the gas station attendants that make sure all is well in the engine, to the people who serve the food at my favourite restaurants, the bartenders at all the great watering holes, the vendors that give me free chewing gum...
What's your advice to a first-time visitor to Kingston?
Get out there and soak up the real culture of Jamaica that's prevalent in Kingston. Try to go where the locals go to eat, drink and party. We know all about the real gems in this country, so follow our lead.
What is your middle name?
Walter -- after my grandfather Walter Bankay.
Where are your favourite chill spots on the island?
Hmm... Rick's Café in Negril, Turtle Cove in Port Antonio and Strawberry Hill in Kingston.
Share with us your last bit of retail therapy.

What is your preferred beverage?

What's your favourite television show?
In the 90s it was Allo Allo, but now it has to be True Blood.

In July, Senator Orrin Hatch, the ranking Republican on the Finance Committee, said that program was a deal breaker for his party. “We made it clear time and time and time again that we would not stomach attaching a big government spending program onto

Though not the classic recipe, my favorite gimlet is made at Macao Trading Company in New York City and combines gin with the silky soapiness of kaffir and peppery fresh lime. This month has seen many of those down the hatch.

The water rose past their waists as they held a cell phone through a ceiling hatch to get a strong enough signal to call 911. One firefighter went to the roof and shut down power to the elevator while the rest of the team opened the door to the shaft
Welcome NYC Party @ Down the Hatch « Testimonials for Eat, Drink ...
Hey guys,
The party went great! My friends from New Orleans really had an awesome time and loved the experience in New York. The atmosphere was fantastic, as it was a crowd that was just there to chill and have a good time. I personally loved the selection of music, as it wasn’t just a mix of everything you hear on the radio.
The manager for the night (I forget her name) came over when we got there and personally made sure we were comfortable and told us to let her know if we needed anything. You just don’t get that kind of service and attention at any other bars in the city, so we really appreciated that!
We can’t wait to plan our next party at Down the Hatch!
