Each Spring, the Lighthouse Grill at the Harbor View Hotel hosts a series of wine dinners. The series usually highlights a certain region of a country, with a collection of wine’s from that origin.

It’s not everyday that you are surrounded by dozens of children cheering you on and yelling thank you. When it does happen, it’s pretty remarkable. I was able to experience this joy when we presented the fundraising check from Martha’s Vineyard Teddy Bear Suite for $41,000 to the Martha’s Vineyard Boys & Girls Club. Seeing the...

When a friend suggested trying Aerial Yoga with her and a group of friends at the Yoga Barn in West Tisbury, my initial thoughts were heck no, I am no yoga guru.

The Ritz is embracing its roots. What’s this bar known for? Music, but of cours...

The farmers’ markets of Martha’s Vineyard have become an integral part of the social and food fabric of the island. Farm-to-table is not only a saying, but truly a way of life on the Vineyard. At least a way of life during the warmer summer months. As the colder weather and snow replace the people and the crops, loc...

It seems like just yesterday, I was at Not Your Sugar Mamas in the Tisbury Market Place talking about new chocolate bar flavors that were being whipped up. Now when you walk into NYSM, it is a whole new world. Yes, there are still chocolate bars, but now there is SO MUCH MORE. This is a one stop shop for all things healthy and on ...
