Wow has the Local Wild Food Challenge changed since I went in 2015. Last year, the event found a new home, the FARM Institute, and boy has it grown into quite the event. From talking with event founder, Bill Manson, I think this incredible, one-of-a-kind experience, has found its Island groove. Local Wild Food Challenge At the core...

Sit. Chat. Chew. is the new mission of Park Corner Food Bar in Oak Bluffs. Note the “bistro” part is gone too. A lot has changed with the small corner bar/dining spot, and I was happy with what’s new. You’ve probably wondered why in all my blogs, I have never mentioned Park Corner. A few years back, I had an unpleasant experience ...

Can you believe it? The Martha’s Vineyard Food & Wine Festival is celebrating its tenth year! And you better believe it’s going to be even more amazing than ever, with more events, guest chefs, and more. If I were footloose and fancy free or on a girl’s weekend, this would be my dream itinerary. However, in reality I will ...

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...
