sounds like a great get away! You definitely have to spend hours and hours in those chairs in the plaza getting your hair braided!

I was just at Cable Beach a month ago for 2 weeks. If you enjoy gambling, go to Crystal Palace. Even if you don't gamble it can be fun to watch. Don't bother with the Rainforest Cafe Bar... instead, hit the Black Angus for dinner. If you don't like steak, just sit at the bar (top of casino steps and to the right... not the bar directly at the top of the steps). At the bar you can order from 3 menus. Sole Mare, Black Angus, or one other that serves Chinese. Should be able to find something you like.
For nightlife, try "The Island Club" or "The Living Room". Both are located in the Nassau Beach Hotel. Any more questions, e-mail me. Have a great time!

A fun place to grab a quick bite is Senior Frogs which is located down from the Straw Market. The Straw Market has some knock off purses and knock off Tiffany jewerly and junk but interesting to walk through. We ate at a great restaurant in the Atlantis that had the huge aquarium in it( forgot the name it was expensive but wonderful) Also a horse draw ride around town is nice. Have fun!!

Best place to eat is a the Arawak Cay better known as the Fish Fry. You can interact with the natives while eating native dishes. As for the activities, you can swim with the dolphins, carriage ride, visit the queens staircase and water tower, see the dancing flamingos go to Atlantis and do all sorts of water sports and dine with the fishes

The best way to stretch you're budget in the bahamas is to eat local food from local restaurants.

The 2 main areas for fresh local food are the Fish Fry at Arawak Cay and Potters Cay.

The Fish Fry is a small "village" of bahamian owned restaurants serving up the freshest fish and local dishes at the best prices in town. There are a dozen or venues, from Twin Brothers, Seafood Haven and Deep Creek, to Goldies Bar, serving a concoction known as SKY JUICE. You'll find home made Daiquri's, fresh conch salad, and even entertainment on the weekends.

Potters Cay is a bit more casual. It consists of a couple dozen fish shacks, some selling fresh fish, and some selling freshly cooked fish, conch fritters, conch chowder and made to order conch salad. You can grab a cold beer and sit down with the locals to a game or two of dominos. This is VERY down to earth. The roadway cuts thru the market, and it can get very crowded. Some find it part of the charm, some find it a bit scary. Any way you see it. The food is fresh and cheap.

You can also find moderately priced items at any of the Chinese Restaurants. Double Dragons has several locations. Additionally, Domino's pizza delivers to your hotel lobby, and has a great deal for about $20. No more expensive than back home.

Lunch time, you'll find the lunch ladies selling native lunch and soups from there vans and car trunks. They are usually located in the parking lots across from the main hotels (Atlantis, Radisson and Breezes), and also downtown by the Straw Market by the Wharf. Full meals start at $7. Hearty Soups from $5. Mac and Cheese for $1.

Imperial Takeaway, located in front of the British Colonial Hilton servers hamburgers/cheeseburgers for $3, Cracked Conch $6 and a $3 breakfast. Cafe Skan's downtown also has cheap breakfast and lunch as well.

I would say spend most of your time in downtown Nassau, but avoid the tourist traps like the hotel bars/restaurants on Cable Beach and also Senior Frogs or Hard Rock. Also, the straw market is the same cheap, mass produced touristy stuff you will find in Cozumel, Ocho Rios, etc. just with a different lable ("The Bahamas" instead of "No worries, mon") For some good food, go to Bahamian Kitchen on Trinity just off of Market and ask for the "catch of the day" or ask a cab driver to take you to a nice local place to the east around the bridge to Paradise Island. Go ahead and visit Atlantis for an hour or two, at least for the aquarium that you can see for free.
