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. Bigger & Better Than Ever We were pleased to once again play an active supporti...

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 ...

A couple of years ago, two friends were hanging out one night at Port Hunter, enjoying the amazing cocktails there and spirits used to make them. The conversation go...

This seems to be the season for making dreams and hobbies become realities on Martha’s Vineyard. From craft spirits to pizza places to beer, people are embracing what they’re passionate about and turning it into businesses. For quite a while, John Clift (Vintage MV) and Joe Monteiro (Atlantic Restaurant), have been talki...

It’s funny how I sometimes forget that some places are open in the off-season, like Isola in Edgartown. Not the the dining room, but the pizza place, next to Espresso Love. Since the Frugal Foodie will be soon coming to an end with Summer approaching, I thought I’d try to give you a couple more restaurants to visit before then. D...

Spring on the Island is more than a change of seasons. There are also a lot of changes seen in the Martha’s Vineyard restaurant world. Our first big one in Edgartown is that the Main Street Diner has new owners.  It’s now the Edgartown Diner. A new, eye catching sign hangs proudly on Main Street. Upon entering, you m...

Last Sunday was the type of day you dream about in New England, when Winter is coming to an end. It was warm, sunny, the birds were chirping, and Martha’s Vineyard was bursting with the songs of the new season to come. Also,  it’s the unofficial day for brunch. One of the best brunches on Martha’s Vineyard can be found at...

Pizza. A food everyone likes but the styles vary. Thick or thin crust, lots of sauce, light sauce, cheese blend or just good mozzarella. Friends, Joseph Monteiro, the executive chef from Atlantic Restaurant, and John Clift, the owner of Vintage MV, both have been searching on Island for the kind of pizza they like. When you c...
