Last week, The Cardboard Box opened its doors. Since we first learned about Ben and Erica DeForest’s new spot, we have been eager for its opening. Located on Circuit Avenue in the space that was previously Down Island, The Cardboard Box is an eclectic mix of classic and modern. The large wooden bar is once again a focal ...

I can’t believe it’s been three years since I first wrote about Island jewelry marker, Jessica Kramer’s Hawkhouse. She has continued to grow her business over the years. This self trained metallurgist now has thousands of people shopping her website daily, and buying pieces on the the Island at Driftwood in Oak Bluffs and Citrine i...

When you meet Anne Zenker, you are immediately captivated by her energy. She is vibrant, funny, and passionate. Retiring from her job as a personal trainer (I bet she’s amazing) and a high school lacrosse coach in Summer of 2016, and now living on the Vineyard full time, Anne knew that she wanted to write a new chapter in her ...

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. However, the more I thought about it, I thought why not. Pictures I have seen look very cool, and it’s always fun to try new things. The Yoga Barn offers Aerial Yoga...

One thing I always look forward to is seeing what the...

**UPDATE – sadly Leslie has moved off Island and is no longer offering FETE MV** Recently a friend of mine was taking to me about Fete MV. I had not heard of it before, and that’s because this amazing new Island business is new to the food scene. What you may ask? Doesn’t Fete mean party in French? It sure does, and if you know fou...

It’s a Tuesday night in February and I can’t find a parking spot a The Barn!?! How can this be? Well, when I walked, I knew why. The smell immediately made me hungry. The smell of curry, of exotic spices, Indian food. The dining room was packed and I have to say that 90% of the people in the restaurant were eating from the Indian f...

I am relatively new to the kombucha scene, but know that it has been gaining popularity. I admit that I like to have a bottle or two a week, and love getting the Island made komucha when I find it in  stores or at the Chilmark Fles Market. Why is kombucha becoming so popular? Well, first it’s pretty tasty (though not ever...
