Lucky Hank’s Restaurant is open for business. With an intimate opening party Friday night, the first dinner service on Saturday, and now as of Sunday, serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner, almost every day of the week (open Tuesday – Sunday).  A welcomed addition to Edgartown, this warm, cozy restaurant is sure to be a success...

Paint & Champagne with Traeger DiPietro, part of the five day Art*Island Festival did not disappoint. It was one of the most fun and rewarding events I have gone to in awhile. Picture the scene, a sold out crowd, sitting in Water Street Restaurant at the Harbor View Hotel. Traeger in the front of the room with an easel, in our ...

I sometimes think that I don’t do enough things that involve culture.  I don’t visit museums as much anymore.  I don’t visit art galleries as often as I like.  I’m too busy just trying to survive the week trying to add a sprinkle of fun with family and friends here and there.  So imagine how happy I was to know ...

Pecha what?  Pecha Kucha, a clever way to share images and a story to people.  Whether the person is a designer, a writer, a painter, a historian, a sculptor, they can use Pecha Kucha.  The concept is this — 20 images shown for 20 seconds each.  This way, no one gets bored, there’s no lag time, and it keeps thin...

One of the best things about living on the Island is that there are a lot of really interesting people here.  You never know when you’re going to meet someone who is doing something amazing. For example, when I went to the Martha’s Vineyard Local Wild Food Challenge, I met one of the homecooks, John Duryea, who was working on ...

So, last week I wrote about the up-coming 3rd Annual MV Local Wild Food Challenge, and I have to admit that I was pretty excited to go to the event for a number of reasons, the location, the food, and of course the people.  Who would prepare what and what would be the wildest ingredient used in this year’s challenge? First of ...

It’s time for the 3rd Annual Local Wild Food Challenge! What is this you may wonder?  Well, I really did not know, but wanted to find out.  I had no idea what to expect when I was meeting the event founder Chef Bill Manson.  Was he going to be a burly hunter, a salty fisherman, or perhaps a quiet farmer? The answer,...

I remember when I had first heard that Patrick and Ted Courtney were going to turn 55 Main Street, Edgartown into a restaurant, The Port Hunter.  I felt like doing a back flip.  Something good was going to go into that awesome brick building.  Finally Into the Woods was actually gone after five years of “closing.” Lo...

An Island girl, the baby of five children, Noava Knight is bursting with personality.  You can see it even before she speaks.  The body of a model (including some serious height), short funky blonde hair (for the moment) and a hint of mischief  in her eyes, Noava knows exactly who she is and is not afraid to be herse...

When Jeanine Mulholland’s son was born, she began making jewelry for herself, and his spirit and the joy he brought her became the inspiration for her pieces.  Her hand-stamped jewelry caught people’s eye wherever she went. People even began asking for her to create custom pieces to capture what was important in their lives, a...
