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...

It’s hard to believe it’s 2015. I feel like I just got used to writing 2014 on things, and I feel like the year went by way too fast. There was so much more I wanted to do, but it’s nice to take a moment and celebrate some of the fun I had with writing On Point. Some weeks  I am so grateful for this blog. It forces me to leave...

Is it true that The Ritz is gaining in popularity as a hot spot for Islanders? Yes it is. The Ritz is not like it used to be, it’s similar, but better. In July of 2014, Jacqueline and Larkin Stallings bought The Ritz. Located on Circuit Avenue, this place does indeed have a checkered past which is celebrated, but The Ritz the...

Tonight is the Tisbury Holiday Stroll. This is the night to head to Vineyard Haven and maybe start your shopping, pick up some final special things, and of course maybe treat yourself! What is the Tisbury Holiday Stroll? You might be asking — Well, many of the businesses on Main Street are hosting special events and offering incen...

The Martha’s Vineyard Teddy Bear Suite is more than an enchanting world of holiday magic and warm, fuzzy teddy bears. It’s also a fundraiser for the Boys & Girls Club. This year, with your help, we’re hoping to raise $12,000 for the Club. The Boys & Girls Club charges parents just $20 per year for their After Scho...

With the colder days, fewer and fewer people seem to be on Island. However, early on a Friday night in Edgartown, you’ll find Main Street packed with cars. People are enjoying a reason to get out of the house, and dinner is definitely a good excuse. Who doesn’t like to go out for dinner, especially this time of year? So when I hea...

In its fifth year, Island Grown Gleaning, part of Island Grown Initiative, is an important part of local farming on Martha’s Vineyard. Throughout the growing seasons, especially this time of year, our farms have a surplus of fruits and vegetables. Instead of letting them simply rot or go into compost, Island Grown Gleaning com...
