The Gleaner-sponsored Kingston Restaurant Week (KRW) 2007 is looking like one of the best, and officials from J. Wray and Nephew and The Gleaner decided to enjoy it first-hand. The rum folk and the North Street chroniclers slid into Mac's Chop House, on Trinidad Terrace, for some fine dining with a few guests. From the appetisers to the entrées, it was all you'ld expect from one of KRW's finest. And the beverages for the evening? Well, Appleton products, of course!

We've also got diplomatic farewells and a big achievement for a local firm.

The party took place on Norwood Avenue, New Kingston, last Friday. Keep reading 'The Gleaner' for the full story.
