Mango Tango

Top choice in US Virgin Islands


The VI's top gallery is far removed in both quality and distance from its downtown brethren. Intricate Haitian metal pieces and contemporary paintings from Washington-based Mel McCuddin are on display alongside the work of the best local painters, potters and photographers. There are monthly art openings from November to April.
