Virgin Islands This Week / St. John / St. John Shop Talk / Mongoose Junction

Mongoose Junction

Just a few minutes stroll from the St. John Ferry Dock you’ll find a distinctive collection of shops and restaurants at Mongoose Junction. The beautiful stone and brick arches of the colonial design, unique to this part of the world, welcome you to fabulous shopping, fine dining and shady tropical garden courtyards.

Spend the day and shop for designer or locally made jewelry and gifts, resort wear, swimwear and casual clothing, dine casually at the Deli Grotto or Sun Dog Café. Experience fine dining evenings at Paradiso Restaurant, and lunch or dinner in the elegant tropical garden setting at Ocean Grill. Tempt your palate with the popular Spicy Panko Scallops and a heavenly dessert made right in Ocean Grill’s kitchen.

You can’t miss the gorgeous bright colors of Chapare’s sun hats and pima cotton or crocheted rayon clothing from South America. This beautiful new store also features handmade jewelry and textiles from Peru, Ecuador and Bolivia.

Shop where the locals shop: Daily News readers have selected Caravan Gallery, upstairs at Mongoose, as their favorite jewelry three years in a row. Kenny Chesney bought his signature hook bracelet here. Affordable gifts to authentic African masks round out this amazing gallery collection.

Friends of the Park Store carries unique gift items, many of which are locally made, are of recycled materials, or support a sustainable environment. Store proceeds support important projects and programs in Virgin Islands National Park.

Sea Leathers & Antique Jewels, also located on the third level, is where you will find an unusual array of leather goods made from exotic skins such as stingray, croc and eel.

At the end of your day relax in air conditioned comfort with a V.I. Pale Ale at The Tap Room, St. John’s only microbrewery, a good place to drop that reluctant shopper! And if you’re driving there is monitored free parking while you shop at Mongoose Junction.
