Holiday Getaway: Antigua and Barbuda @antiguabarbuda @jetblue #jetblueanu

 

Antigua is a Beach Lover’s dream come true with 365 white sand beaches that can entice a visitor to try a new one every day of the year. Discovered in 1632 by a party under the leadership of Edward Warner and claimed as an English territory Antigua has grown to be a tourist destination with English touches, but has been able to avoid the real commercialism other islands have dealt with.

Luxury resorts that cater to couples and honeymooners are prevalent like the ultra all-inclusive Sandals Grande Resort & Spa. Voted “The Most Romantic Resort ” in the Caribbean. Located on the world famous Dickenson Bay, pictured above Sandals offers luxury accommodations, some with butler service, 7 bars, 11 restaurants, a luxurious spa, and expert wedding coordinators that can assist in making sure your destination wedding and honeymoon is a perfect and memorable experience.

Village Prime Steakhouse: Uptown vibe in the heart of the Village

image The West Village is a neighborhood that’s always on trend, but it has been lacking one type of establishment and that is a refined steakhouse with an uptown feel, a classic seafood and steak menu plus a raw bar and a diverse wine and cocktail menu. At the helm of Village Prime is Executive Chef Vincent Ricciardelli and Chef/Owner Paul Singh who strive to give diners excellent steakhouse fare offering classic dishes like Lobster Bisque, Colossal Lumb Crab Meat Cocktail, a favorite of ours, Classic Caesar Salad as well as daily specials. The salmon, tuna, and steak tartare trio is a must! For serious meat lovers there is a wide range of USDA prime meats to choose from with popular options being The Cowboy Rib-eye 18oz. ($46), Skirt Steak 16oz.($32), and The Classic Porterhouse that can be shared from 2 to 4 diners and is priced accordingly. Our favorite happened to be The Surf N Turf ($58) which combines a juicy lobster tail and a choice of a meat entree. I chose the Filet Mignon in a Bearnaise Sauce and it was perfectly cooked and seasoned to my liking. Classic sides include a wide choice of potato options, creamed or sautéed spinach, lobster mac n cheese and much more. Dessert options include a creme brulee brought out in a  long white porcelain dish, cheesecake, a rich chocolate cake, and a choice of ice cream flavors as well. Village Prime is open 7 days a week and offers a 2 course lunch menu ($14.95) as well as a weekend brunch menu ($19.95) with unlimited champagne or sangria for a 90 minute seating time. image image Village Prime 302 Bleecker Street New York, NY 10014 212.727.7463 http://www.villageprimenyc.com
