Doubles Hopping: North Edition | 8 Doubles, 8 Spots, 1 Morning in Trinidad

With food places finally re-opening here in Trinidad & Tobago, join me as I get my fill of the most popular street food here on the island. Doubles, that combination of Bara and Channa, with various condiments as I attempted to eat One at every Doubles vendor I came across, throughout Port of Spain (well more Woodbrook) and St. James.

[@banzaitnt]

Depending on day and time there are 10 to 12 doubles vendors in St James. Interesting that doubles used to be a night time thing there but now a morning thing

[@TrinbagoVibes]

That’s interesting, for me doubles was always a morning time thing, well at least growing up in south, was only aware of it being an evening/ night thing in UWI, but even when I moved north a decade ago, I only saw it on the avenue in the night, not really in St. James…but yeah on a morning, a lil past the police station it has about 5 of them one after the other
