A multitude of American-style malls means that
shopping
in Kingston is nothing if not convenient. The major players are the New Kingston Shopping Centre on Dominica Drive, the Sovereign Centre on Hope Road and the multitude of malls on Constant Spring Road.
For books , the bookshop at the University of the West Indies in Mona is far and away the superior choice for both novels and books on Jamaica. Reggae fans are in shopping heaven in Kingston. There are record shops in most of the shopping malls, and downtown's Orange Street has several places stocking everything from dancehall to rocksteady and reggae classics.
For
souvenirs
, try the Crafts Market downtown; for more expensive items, check out the gift-shops at Devon House, or Patoo in the Upper Manor Park Centre. It's also worth browsing the malls on Constant Spring Road, which hold excellent, reasonably priced craft shops. Other useful information
