The wait is almost over my friends! This week, The Barn, the Island’s first bowling alley (public) in years, opens its doors. On Sunday, we were able to get a sneak peek at this new, highly — and I mean highly — anticipated addition to Martha’s Vineyard. And………we were not disappointed. We went bowling! It was crazy and so fun and ...

When chef/owner Jean Dupon closed the doors after 37 years of serving memorable French inspired cuisine to Islanders and visitors last Fall, people were sad and disappointed, another downtown Vineyard Haven restaurant closing its doors. But hope was on the horizon. Island restauranteurs Susan and Stephen Bowen were intere...

The MV Wine Fest had so much to offer for wine enthusiasts. With 500 varieties, including spirits, there was truly something for everyone, even for the most discerning palate. With a new address, downtown Edgartown, behind the Kelley House hotel, I think the sold out event was even more fun because you could continue the fun in tow...

Bad Martha Farmer’s Brewery is getting ready to open the doors for its second season. Though a lot will remain the same, like good brews and a fabulous beer  garden, lots of new things are on tap.

Before this endeavor, James and Tanya had taken over Bob’s Pizza up on Main Street in Vineyard Haven. At that location, they quickly developed a big following with their fresh food, amazing pizza...

You may have heard that Martha’s Vineyard Chowder Company has been hosting an Indian food night on Thursdays. It’s true, now in it’s seventh week, it has been a hot spot each week. One of the best things about ethnic food is walking into the restaurant and being immediately submerged in all the aromas. Scents that are so...

Ok so we don’t have drive-thru convenience for food on Martha’s Vineyard but there are a couple of options where you just grab and go. One of the places that might surprise you is the new Sushi at Stop & Shop in Edgartown. I know what you’re thinking, day old sushi does not sound appealing, but these days you’ll only ...

All eyes were on Rockfish when it opened late November last Fall. It was the place to meet friends for a drink or dinner. The upstairs bar proved to be quite the hotspot. Many continued to try and enjoy Rockfish, people were loving it. However, there was one thing people were on the fence about, the menu. The small plates and pizza...
