Martha’s Spiked is named for the person some historians believe the Island is named for, Martha, the daughter of British explorer Bartholomew Gosnold. Martha’s Spiked is inspired by the spirit of the Island and made will all natural ingr...

For years I have driven home down Vineyard Avenue in Oak Bluffs, passing by the monthly fish fry sign at the Portuguese American Club. My interest also piqued, but I never stopped in. However, on a gorgeous Thursday evening in July, it was time to go make it happen. I had no idea what to expect of this very popular night at the PA...

Rewind to couple years back and think about what the old Hot Tin Roof building and surrounding area looked like. Fast forward to 2018, and what a change. With MV Wine & Spirits, the new Black Sheep Mercantile, and now The Fish House, it’s a whole new world. It’s literally one stop shopping in the middle of the Island. You can ...

You read the title right! Now you can get breakfast at Nancy’s on the Oak Bluffs Harbor! Not the usual bagels, eggs, muffins etc., but beautiful fruit packed Açaí bowls. Now I have to admit that I am yet to have had a South American super fruit based Açaí bowl, so this was my first one. First I have to say it felt a...

Chances are if you’ve been to any of the the flea markets this summer, you’ve seen the Yommi trailer. It’s hard to miss, baby blue, a surf board on top, and a smiling face behind the counter. You can’t walk by without checking it out. It just looks like some good is about to happen. Last year, Adrian Johnson and Nicole Corbo opene...

I cannot believe that I waited so long to visit Island Grown Initiative’s Mobile Market! Truly, I have been missing out! The worst thing is that it’s so close to my house, only a couple of blocks away when it comes to the Oak Bluffs Library on Tuesday evenings. Last Tuesday, the kiddos grabbed their scooters and off we went. They ...

Fine dining, some of the best burgers on the Island and now PIZZA. Atria does it again. Once reserved for private parties, the outside dining area is now a beautiful, more casual outside dining space with its own bar. Here you’ll find chef/owner Christian Thornton tossing pies. He had always loved making pizzas as a kid, and now h...

Gone are the dozens of silent auction items. Gone is the long sit down dinner. Hello FARM based interactive evening out. I recently met with Eunice Youmans, the General Manager for the Trustees on Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket. She had a lot of enthusiasm when discussing this year’s Meals In the Meadow, happening Saturday, July ...

If the adorable Popcycle graphics and colorful instagram don’t make you want to order frozen treats right now, then perhaps the amazing young woman behind this frosty, tasty venture, will. Meet Noah Goldberg. Now 17, she started Popcycle last year when she came for the Summer to Edgartown with her family, as she does every year, es...

I have known Michael Brisson, the chef/owner of l’etoile for so many years. His restaurant is one of the backbones of the fine dining scene on Martha’s Vineyard. However, it’s the more casual bar that has always been my favorite, and boy are you in for a surprise when you visit this season. There are some traditions for me when vi...
