Vikki,
I honestly don't have a clue as to whether one 'pays' to make the top fifty restaurant list or not, but given the high prices the jewelry stores have to pay to be the 'preferred' jeweler on any given island, nothing would surprise me. And I would have questioned the veracity of this if I hadn't been in one of the shops on Front Street and witnessed the 'shake down' first hand. You just never know.......
