Excited to spend another day at the beach, but not brave enough to conquer the Atlantic in January, we headed downtown for some antiquing. Not only was shopping a success, but we enjoyed a delightful brunch at Lulu's complete with crab cakes Benedict (Orleans) and a roasted red pepper salad (Love on a Plate). Hidden at the bottom of the Thompson House, Lulu's makes for a uniquely scrumptious meal.
With a trunk full of antiques and satisfied stomachs, we headed back to the Captain's House for some more shark's tooth hunting and awaited our reservation at Espana later that evening. A burly Spanish waiter helped us navigate the menu and made recommendations for items including the Gambas Mozambique, sautéed shrimp topped with a spicy coconut milk sauce and fresh cilantro as well as the Aceitunas, a variety of marinated olives, garlic and fresh herbs. Pleased with both choices, we found the other items on the menu to be somewhat typical of Spanish Tapas we've had at similar restaurants.
One of few tapas restaurants on the island, visit Espana for the authentic cuisine as a kick-start to your night on the town.
