Ok, how silly do I feel? I’ve lived here for over a decade and I had no idea there was a pool at the Kelley House. But now that I do, watch out, because I have found another favorite place to hang out in Edagrtown. What? The Kelley House pool? No — the Wave Pool Bar at the Kelley House. Facing Dock Street, looking out to the Quart...

One of my favorite places to visit, year round on Martha’s Vineyard, is The FARM Institute. The FARM Institute is a working farm that teaches this community a lot about food and farming. From planting to harvesting to humane treatment of farm animals, it can all be found here. It’s farm-to-table. Me, my children, and many...

As you walk down Kennebec Avenue in Oak Bluffs, you might notice the smell of roasted garlic. It’s not a figment of your imagination. It’s the famous roasted garlic from Jimmy Seas Pan Pasta. Jimmy Seas reopened its doors on Wednesday, July 16th. Though it has new owners, Lisa Brown-Huff and Will Caffey (Vineyard Pizza and The...

Ok so it’s another fun, crazy summer on the Vineyard, and I have to admit that I have not necessarily been eating the most healthy of foods. It’s hard to do, with all the dining out and BBQ’s and summer cocktails. I need some easy, tasty, healthy options that are fast. Imagine my surprise when I was driving up State Road to g...

Summer is hectic and sometimes making a meal at home is the last thing you want to do. Luckily, there’s the most delicious food available at Black Sheep in Edgartown. I’ve written about Black Sheep before, but that was about Trio. Owner Mark Venette and his team used to have wine pairings with cheese and charcuterie in the eve...

Tomorrow is the fourth of July and what better place to celebrate America than here on Martha’s Vineyard, where you’ll find plenty of classic Americana holiday things to do. Fourth of July Parade Since Hurricane Arthur is heading our way, the Edgartown fourth of July parade will now be held on Saturday, July 5th...

By now you might have figured out that I like Chef Josh Aronie’s food, since I follow his every move. And though I miss The Food Truck, I am glad to see Josh at the Home Port restaurant in Menemsha. With Josh there, it means that it was time to hit the restaurant’s “Back Door” for take-out and taking in the view. With summer nigh...

It’s Sunday night and the kitchen is the last place you want to be. The air is cooler, and the beach is calling your name. It looks like take-out is the answer to these problems. Since it is Summer, one of my favorite things to do is get take-out from the Art Cliff food truck. Soon as I see it parked in front of the diner, I s...

History is being made in Edgartown this week. The doors will open at Bad Martha Farmer’s Brewery — perhaps Edgartown’s first brewery. This new place is sure to delight beer enthusiasts from all over. And though there are currently only three varieties of Bad Martha’s beer available elsewhere, at the brewery, there will be...

For some reason this summer, I am all about donuts. Typically my husband’s bailiwick, these sweet, easy to carry, even easier to eat, sweet treats are my new obsession. So naturally, when I saw that Chef Nik (Nikolas Mastalerz) from the Harbor View Hotel was doing Nik’s Donuts on Sunday morning, I had to check it out. Designer Donu...
