Once a dive bar always a dive bar. The Ritz is getting back to its roots. Not fancy, not a BBQ joint, just a little bar with good food and drinks and a colorful clientele. Over the the last couple years, The Ritz has been on a journey sort of, trying out new things, learning along the way. Though not the same as it was 20 years ag...

A restaurant doesn’t have to be big or fancy to be amazing. Sometimes, it just needs the right attitude and food to make it out of this world. Lucky for us, we have that at Red Cat Kitchen restaurant in Oak Bluffs. Since 2012, Red Cat has been delighting our palates and igniting our souls (a bit). There’s something about when you ...

Sometimes a small getaway makes a big difference, even if you’re just one or two towns away. The Winnetu Oceanside Resort is offering an easy way to make a Martha’s Vineyard “staycation” possible. How does the Winnetu make it easy? Well, as an Island resident, you can spend the night for free. What’s the catch? Nothing crazy. What...

People wonder what Islanders do when the Summer months are over. The answer is this – we continue to Summer and enjoy the beauty of Martha’s Vineyard well into the Fall months. Many of the restaurants are still open, and there are still lots of fun things to do. You might just have to look a little harder. One of the things I...

It’s true, the Martha’s Vineyard Craft Beer Festival is back, and there are a lot of new things happening. We even have a special On Point ticket special offer (read on). Let’s start with a new, bigger, dare I say better location? This year’s event will be at Waban Park in Oak Bluffs (the big park across the street from Inkwe...

** UPDATE – Vineyard Caribbean Cuisine has moved to Circuit Avenue Extension in Oak Bluffs, next to Juice by the Sea. I am guessing you have seen the bright red awning that now adorns part of the big building in the middle of 5 Corners, since almost everyone passes through Vineyard Haven at some point. Perhaps you’ve wondered about...

How to say goodbye to Summer? Even though it’s not quite over, with school starting this week and restaurants already starting to close, it seems like a big dinner out with friends is a good way to celebrate all the fun that was had and the fun that is still to come. There is something so special about getting together with your gr...

So, many of you may know that I have been on “stay-cation.” Don’t get too excited, I do still work a bit daily, but I do make sure to sprinkle something special in daily. Saturday mornings are great for going out to breakfast right? How about adding a little Island twist to this. I got my hubby on board for a little boat trip to V...

I cannot tell you how many times I have driven by John’s Fish Market/Sandy’s Fish “N” Chips on State Road in Vineyard Haven. Heck, I used to live right up the street, yet I had never gone. However, recently I have been hearing about how good the food is. My friend Angie has told me that the “Obama Burger” is one of the best o...

Even though there is so much to do down-Island, I highly suggest sprinkling in some up-Island adventures. It can feel like a whole different world when you cross that West Tisbury town line. One of my favorite things to do is dine at the Aquinnah Shop Restaurant right on the Cliffs. There are other great spots too, like Cliffhange...
