To anyone here who has been to Hope Town more recently than me (which
may be almost everyone on the group):

Many years ago, my dad took us into Hope Town. One of my most vivid
memories was going some place in town and having Manhattan-style conch
chowder that was simply outstanding. As I recall it was a house
speciality. Does anyone who has been there recently, know if such a
place might still be there?


To (the original poster): if we can come to some
consensus on where such a place might be, do NOT fail include this on
your itinerary.

Another memory from the same trip: Sitting on the dock with my
girlfriend in New Plymouth, just down the street from the bakery,
using a dive knife (no . . . not the suggested implement) to cut and
butter the fresh, still hot Bahamian bread. Once you try that bread,
you too will understand what all the noise is about. Do not miss it.

Thanks in advance and take care . . .
