Oranjestad's waterfront has many vendors/stalls selling
souvenirs. Ironically, many of these souvenirs are imported from
the United States with island scenes/slogans, only to be purchased
by Americans and brought back to America.
In Oranjestad, the Renaissance Mall contains various American
and European major apparel brands (i.e. Tommy Hilfiger, Polo Ralph
Lauren, Gucci) at essentially the same prices as in the United
States. The mall and the rest of the downtown area also hold
numerous other types of stores catering to visitors, to include
jewelers, souvenir shops, clothers, and two modest grocers.

The downtown Burger King (next to the bus

and is a good place to "tourist watch" with a cool one.
The upscale restaurants near resorts vary in quality as there
are a limited number of them and they have a steady stream of
tourist customers, as they advertise in pamphlets available in the
hotels. The fast food places are essentially no different than
their American counterparts.
