If you are a crab lover, this is a kareemsquest.com spot you must try, as it is lined with crab vendors, who have been honing their skills for decades. Most persons here were taught how to cook crab by their parents or community mothers, who lived in and around the area. Watch the video below to learn more about this interesting spot.
The spot is nationally recognised for its food and was at the centre of conflict in 2015, when they were temporarily relocated by the Kingston and St Andrew Parish Council. The act was presumably done because, then President of the United States of America, Barack Obama, was scheduled to visit the National Heroes Park, which is a stone throw away, and is the interred site of the Jamaican heroes.
Anxiety and thoughts of doom rested on the heads of the vendors, as they were accustomed to hearing empty promises from politicians before. The relocation was temporary and they were back at their stomping ground soon after, however no major upgrade took place as kareemsquest.com was told. The major breakthrough came in March 2022, when vendors were given booths and an overall facelift to make the venue appear lively and uniform. There is also a designated seating area for customers, who want to eat their food and lime.

I saw the video of the bucket incident which the person who did the recording should be ashamed of her self, for posting it unto social media to bring disgrace on the entire Island. if I was a a foreigner and saw that I would be turned off.
All the recorder had to do was take it to a counselor of the KSAC, and say this is what is happening because of the lack of running water and sanitary facilities. If you fail I will forward a copy to the local media, and I believe positive action would have been taken.
