Mangku will not be open for the 2017 season. Hope to see it back next year! All it took was a dream and eBay to make Mangku a reality. I am serious. Jacqueline Foster decided after 7 years of making cheese, it was time to get back into the kitchen, and with the Island being one tough place to open a restaurant, she had a solution, ...

If you’ve visited Martha’s Vineyard, chances are you may have taken the drive to the cliffs at Aquinnah (Gay Head). This stellar, panoramic view is truly breathtaking. However when there, it’s important to stop and take in the shops and the little eateries found at the cliffs. Here, you’ll find a treasure trove of goodies, includi...

Ah Breakfast, the most important meal of the day they say. So, I guess it’s a good thing that The Newes from America Pub has brought back breakfast. Actually it’s better than a good thing because there are some really good signature dishes on the menu. What really caught my eye was the Popover Egg Nest, which is a pair of their fre...

And craft beer, and small batch spirits too? From intimate wine dinners at stunning Island homes, to the Great Beer Challenge, to Oysters & Bubbles, to the Grand Tasting and more, the MV Wine Fest has truly become one of the main shoulder season events on Martha’s Vineyard. For me, signs of MV Wine Fest time, means that Sp...

What an incredible weekend of wine and food on Martha’s Vineyard. From its truly grand, Grand Tasting, to wine dinners, to beer and cocktail competitions, the fourth annual Martha’s Vineyard Wine Fest sold out every event this year.

The Winter months seemed a little longer without Atria’s Sunday Burger Night, so when it was time for their doors to open, I knew I had to go, and see what was new for this 17th season. Atria is like two worlds, kind of like the Island sometimes. The upstairs, which is light and sophisticated, and the downstairs Brick Cellar, whic...

The 5th Annual Pink and Green weekend has raised the bar. What started out as a way to help generate business and excitement during the shoulder season in Edgartown has become an iconic event that offers so much more. With three days packed full of fun on Mother’s Day weekend, it’s tough to decide what to do. So, here are my Top 5 ...

Over the past year, The Ritz has become a contender in the restaurant scene on Martha’s Vineyard. With Chef Ben DeForest taking over the kitchen all Winter long, the food there has become quite an Island topic. With Red Cat back open, Ben is not there as much, but lucky for us, a chef who trained and has worked with him is in the ...
