It’s funny how I sometimes forget that some places are open in the off-season, like Isola in Edgartown. Not the the dining room, but the pizza place, next to Espresso Love. Since the Frugal Foodie will be soon coming to an end with Summer approaching, I thought I’d try to give you a couple more restaurants to visit before then. D...

Last Sunday was the type of day you dream about in New England, when Winter is coming to an end. It was warm, sunny, the birds were chirping, and Martha’s Vineyard was bursting with the songs of the new season to come. Also,  it’s the unofficial day for brunch. One of the best brunches on Martha’s Vineyard can be found at...

These days, a number of restaurant doors are still closed. However, Slice of Life on Circuit Avenue in Oak Bluffs is open and offering a you a number of reasons to dine there, on top of the yummy food. Seven years ago, the chef, Peter Smyth, and his wife, Jennifer, bought Slice of Life from owners Mary and Jackson Kenworth (Chef/Ow...

Who doesn’t love a deal? I know I do. That’s why when I saw “All you can eat spaghetti dinner for four people at Isola” for $20 on a Facebook page I was intrigued. I found the deal on Cape and MV Deals. There were also others on its Facebook page and its website as well. My interest was piqued and so I reached out to find out the ...

So winter is in full swing. The Island has had its first big snowstorm, and now hibernation has set in for a lot of people. This is nothing new. It happens every year. The towns are quiet after 5 p.m. However this winter, JB and his team at Martha’s Vineyard Chowder Company (ChoCo) are giving you four nights of amazing deals to tem...

For this Frugal Foodie, we ventured to Henry’s at the Harbor View Hotel where you can find some of the best (and most delicious) dining deals on the Island during the off-season. As soon as I heard that there was Taco Tuesday, I was in. If you’ve watched the Lego Movie, you know why it resonates so well with me. I’ve had to have a...

The holidays are behind us. The days are still short. And sometimes you crave good pub food and a crowd, and that’s exactly what Offshore Ale’s 2-for-1 delivers. A Frugal Foodie off-season delight! Monday nights on the Island are some of the best nights this time of year in Oak Bluffs. As you walk through the door, you’re gree...

The Red Cat Kitchen Hits The Ritz. That’s a hashtag you’ll see on Instagram and Facebook. What does this mean for all of us you might wonder? Well, it means that we can all access the amazing food by chef Ben DeForest. By accessible, I mean meals that are $12 and under, and a daily “Blue Plate Special” that’s $10. Ben has been sne...

Though tired of saying this, I wish this Winter would end. It’s the longest, coldest, snowiest I can remember, and my somewhat sunny disposition has turned a little grey. When I heard that the Harbor View Hotel was hosting a comedy night last Friday, I immediately thought that perhaps laughter would indeed be the best medicine and...

Continuing with my Winter quest of visiting places on Martha’s Vineyard that are not part of my usual repertoire, I put on my Frugal Foodie hat and decided to stop by Dock Street Coffee Shop in Edgartown for breakfast. Dock Street has been serving up breakfast and lunch for 40 years. For years, it was the only place to get bre...
