But, as a “repeat offender,” you should know Key West offers so much more than bawdy drinking songs, spray painted tank tops, and free sunburns… we are home to a culinary melting pot jam-packed with side streets full of vibrant foodie delights. One such street is the pride and joy of Key West’s Bahama Village: Petronia Street.
