UPDATE: Shiretown Meats Closed its 2018. They will be missed With winter’s grasp finally releasing the Island, and the soon-to-bloom spring talk of what’s new — I decided it was time to quickly visit another iconic Island place that I have yet to try. Shiretown Meats. I drive by Shiretown Meats all the time and...

Every winter, we say there’s nothing to do on Martha’s Vineyard. However, we all know that’s not true. Sometimes you have to create your own fun or now — you can head to Loft at Dreamland in Oak Bluffs. JB Blau and his team are at it again, creating a playground for adults where Dreamalnd is located (above JB’s MV Chowder Company ...

Though tired of saying this, I wish this Winter would end. It’s the longest, coldest, snowiest I can remember, and my somewhat sunny disposition has turned a little grey. When I heard that the Harbor View Hotel was hosting a comedy night last Friday, I immediately thought that perhaps laughter would indeed be the best medicine and...

Continuing with my Winter quest of visiting places on Martha’s Vineyard that are not part of my usual repertoire, I put on my Frugal Foodie hat and decided to stop by Dock Street Coffee Shop in Edgartown for breakfast. Dock Street has been serving up breakfast and lunch for 40 years. For years, it was the only place to get bre...

For some reason, this month seems to be the time I venture to places on Martha’s Vineyard that I have not gone to. For this week’s exploration, I went to Soigne in Edgartown. Many of my friends were shocked to hear that I had never stepped foot into this Edgartown staple, and I have no reason for not having been there before. I’ve ...

If you’re like me, you’ve driven by Tropical Restaurant in Vineyard Haven at Five Corners almost daily for years. I decided that this was the year, the season, the day to stop in. One craves a little adventure during February on Martha’s Vineyard. Friends have told me it’s really good, but I was skeptical. The windows are tinted, ...

These cold nights provide an excellent reason to indulge in a little comfort food here on Martha’s Vineyard. That’s why, when I heard about the amazing fried chicken at Henry’s at the Harbor View Hotel in Edgartown, I thought it it was time for a little Frugal Foodie dining out research. I really enjoy Henry’s but especially d...

In late September 2014, James Goff and partner Tanya Chipperfield, began a new chapter at Bob’s Pizza & Subs on Main Street in Vineyard Haven. After cleaning and rearranging the kitchen to suit their needs, Bob’s relaunched on October 9th. Things started slowly, but soon, from word-of-mouth, Bob’s was packing them in, especiall...

Typically January is a bore when living on Martha’s Vineyard year-round, but not this year! With events, wine school, and fun new restaurants, this Winter is moving right along. If you haven’t been to Rockfish yet, make a plan to. It’s definitely the hottest spot on the weekends in Edgartown. It’s usually packed on Friday and Satu...

Though many places have closed their doors for a Winter break, there is one place that thrives during the off-season on Martha’s Vineyard, The Food Truck. If you’ve driven by the Chilmark General Store recently between the hours of 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., you’ve probably seen the Cook Truck, and wondered to yourself is that Josh Ar...
