Celebrating its fifth year, Not Your Sugar Mamas (NYSM) has opened its own organic cafe. Located in the Tisbury Market Place in Vineyard Haven, the cafe is right next to their sugar “factory,” where all their goods are made. The NYSM Organic Cafe is quaint and holds some seriously good for you and yummy bites. I happened to st...

The Covington, the name of the tugboat that hit the Port Hunter back in 1918, resulting in a well known shipwreck off East Chop, is also the name of the new sister restaurant to The Port Hunter in Edgartown. The Covington opened with great fanfare earlier this summer, and has been jammed ever since. The two restaurants are no...

Every day at 10 a.m., brunch begins at Beetlebung. I chose Tuesday morning to venture for my first time. The place was hopping. Chill music playing, people happy to sit have a morning cocktail, and settle in for brunch. It was a scene, even Island icon Skip Finely was there! Located on Circuit Avenue in Oak Bluffs, and celebr...

Sometimes I am hesitant to write about some of my favorite places, but then again, it’s fun to share too. Wave Bar in Edgartown is one of those places. Nestled behind the Kelley House, with an entrance on Dock Street, this outdoor spot is a summer favorite of mine. Wave may be small but it’s big on view. You can catch a glimpse of...

At 14 A street in the MV airport Business Park, you’ll find Jan Buhrman’s Kitchen Porch Catering, but it’s actually so much more. This year, Jan and her culinary team have opened the Back Porch Larder (larder is a room or large cupboard for storing food). Jan has taken the term larder and applied it to her takeaway becaus...

Tucked behind the iconic Edgartown Books lies one of Edgartown’s hidden gems for dinner, Behind the Bookstore. Known for its amazing coffee, and daytime fare, the evening offers its own special experience.

Sometimes it’s nice to have a little something to do after the beach and before dinner on a Saturday, during the Summer months on Martha’s Vineyard. The Saturday Stroll is the perfect activity. On Saturdays, from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. thru Columbus Day, Main Street in Vineyard Haven is a great place to be. Not only are stores open...
