We introduced you to Kalorama in 2008 when the owners came on board as advertisers. Now the villa is for sale, and we’ve just re-shot it.

Kalorama, in Virgin Grand Estates, ranks as one of our all-time favorite villas. It’s unlike anything else on the island and could easily be an Architectural Digest cover story.

Check out the listing here, and check out the video eye candy below…

The Second Annual Love City Live! weekend of music is scheduled for the last weekend in January, spanning four days.

Here’s the current schedule of events:

-Thursday, Jan. 26: Sundown Beach Lime at Oppenheimer Beach, 4-7 pm
-Friday, Jan. 27: Vibe – a cocktail soiree/dinner at Ocean Grill, 10 pm-2 am
-Saturday, Jan. 28: The Main Event – Morgan Heritage Concert at the Winston Wells Ball Park, 6 pm-1:30 am
-Sunday, Jan. 29: Ultimate Power Boat Part at One Love Bar on Jost van Dyke

Tickets for Saturday’s main event are $40 each if you buy before the end of December. $60 after that, and $80 at the gate.

You can see the current lineup of performers and learn all about Love City Live here.

Today’s Lunch of the Week is actually breakfast. At the Westin.

You don’t have to be a guest to eat breakfast here. Just show how cool you are, and when the hostess asks for your room number, say “We’re OP.” (That’s off-property.)

Here we have the Homemade Granola Stuffed Papaya. Half a papaya filled with granola, sliced bananas and low fat yogurt, and drizzled with clover honey for $14.

Or you can go old school breakfast, with two eggs, any style, breakfast potatoes and smoked bacon or sausage for $16.

Or go nuts for the all-you-can-eat massive $26 breakfast buffet spread. (Or just sit back and marvel at how much teenagers going through the buffet can eat.)

JetBlue’s inaugural flight from Puerto Rico to St. Thomas Monday got the red carpet treatment.

Jay Lammering, an aviation mechanic at Cyril E. King Airport, sends us this picture of the first regional JetBlue Airways flight’s arrival, one of two daily flights between St. Thomas and Puerto Rico.

JetBlue’s inaugural flight from Boston to St. Thomas is today (Thursday.)  Boston to St. Thomas five times a week,  with the return to Boston through San Juan.

You can read JetBlue’s press release and see flight times here. And check air fares here. Random check: January 14-21, $460.

For some of our readers, landing at the Cyril E. King Airport means coming home.  For most of our readers, it means the beginning of what is probably about to be the best week or two of the year.

But for everybody, we bet it’s a butterfly-in-the-stomach inducing “finally here” moment.  You’re still an hour or so from Love City, but you know you’re home or vacation has begun.

Enjoy those ‘We’re finally here,” moments…below.

Hosea Rosenberg, winner of Bravo’s Top Chef Season Five, will be cooking up a storm in the ZoZo’s Ristorante kitchen later this month.

It’s a Gifft Hill School fundraiser and it’s already sold out, but 60 people at $200 a ticket puts a cool $12,000 in the kitty for the school.

“Word barely got out before the event was sold out,” says GHS’s Molly Murrill. “The proceeds will help pay for renovations at the GHS’s upper campus kitchen, and will also reignite the Culinary Arts program for our students.”

Chef Rosenberg will work with ZoZo’s executive chef Mikey Fortino and ZoZo’s former executive chef Brett Smith on a five course meal for guests Sunday December 18.

ZoZo’s owner John Ferrigno, who has two kids at Gifft Hill School himself, came up with the idea for the fundraiser.

You can still buy $50 raffle tickets for a trip for two to Sonoma County wine country.

Today’s Painkiller is served up by the very friendly Robin, at the Banana Deck in Cruz Bay.

Robin’s is a patriotic Painkiller.

“Pusser’s is a British Naval rum,” he says. “Here in the USVI, it must be the very American Cruzan.”

Robin starts with Cruzan dark rum, equal parts orange juice and pineapple juice and just a touch more Coco Lopez than many might use. “It takes the edge off the rum,” he says.

Shaken vigorously, until almost foamy, to completely mix the ingredients. Served in a plastic glass with just a cherry.

The Banana Deck Painkiller. $6 all day long. British naval history lessons are free.

Here is the first entry in our Best Villa Toilet Paper Flourish contest.

It comes from On-StJohn.com reader Debra Stephenson, who snapped the picture upon checking in this weekend at Great Turtle Villa in Upper Carolina.

Nice attention to fan detail and fold.

Today’s Lunch of the Week takes us to High Tide Bar & Seafood Grill on Cruz Bay beach.

Here we have tacos, made with skirt steak (or Mahi) in soft flour tortillas with Napa cabbage slaw and a cider-poppyseed vinaigrette, served with a black bean and corn salsa and onion rings for $12.

And a chicken salad wrap with greens, tomatoes, onions and grapes, with a pasta salad,  for $12.

There is no charge for the side serving of beachfront views.

The army of house cleaners who get all those villas ready for the next guests are a not just efficient. They’re pretty creative.

Just check out the toilet paper when you check in.

We don’t know why or when this started, but toilet paper flourishes have become a housecleaner’s signature.

Let’s hand out an award for the Best TP Flourish.

Send us pictures of your villa’s TP folds, fans or flowers and if we get enough, we’ll let readers vote on the best. And if the management company lets us, we’ll give that housecleaner our Best TP Fourish award.

Where else on the Internet do you find this kind of fun. Send us your TP pictures.

Here’s a steep switchback for you. It’s on the Upper Monte Bay road, on your left, just before Point Rendezvous.

There are some killer views up there and if you can afford it, the lots are for sale. If you can’t afford it, take the drive up anyway. No mortgage required just to check out the view.

The Upper Monty Bay switchback is 24 degrees. This is 24 degrees:

This bad-ass Jeep could be yours, if your $10 raffle ticket is drawn.

Money raised from the raffle will help pay for a spring trip to Costa Rica for Gifft Hill School students.

“It’s a 1985 CJ-8 Jeep Scrambler with a 4.2 liter in-line 6, frame off custom restoration with full fiberglass body, GM Yellow paint, heavy duty custom bumpers, 33 inch BF Goodrich all terrain tires with Pro Comp wheels and Skyjacker shocks,” says Colette Rethage, who is helping with this year’s raffle.

The Jeeps’ designer and builder is Alvin R. Nazario, Director of Facilities at Caneel Bay. Paint and body work by Hector Olivieri Torres.

Tickets are available at Connections, the Tap Room, iScream and St. John Hardware. The drawing is set for February 14 at 5 p.m. at the Gifft Hill School field.

If you’re off-island, and would like to buy a ticket or two email GHS here and put “Jeep Raffle” in the subject line.
