Surf’s Up at Long-awaited Longboard

The most anticipated new restaurant opening in recent Cruz Bay history, The Longboard, in the historic Joe’s Diner building, finally opened on Friday, May 1, after a marathon of licensing and operating inspections, and the new venue quickly became the place to see and be seen in downtown Cruz Bay. While passersby enjoyed limin’ with diners at tables overlooking the establishment’s controversial – “It’s too high.” —­ sidewalk on Vester Gade (West Street), some patrons wished their seats at the bar had better views of the street activity.
