midtown kingston Guide
Midtown Kingston is a sprawling industrial area that was once the city’s thriving business district center. Today, many hidden gems can be found there if you know where to look. Visit Top Taste for delicious Jamaican fare, stop in for a perfect cup of coffee or lunch at Village Coffee and Goods, or wander around the stunning furniture showroom of Black Creek Mercantile. Make sure to pass by the Black Lives Matter mural by Jalani Lion, Dina Kravstov, and Mat Schulze in front of Radio Kingston, commissioned by the annual O Positive Festival whose murals can be seen all over Kingston.
