So, last week I wrote about the up-coming 3rd Annual MV Local Wild Food Challenge, and I have to admit that I was pretty excited to go to the event for a number of reasons, the location, the food, and of course the people.  Who would prepare what and what would be the wildest ingredient used in this year’s challenge? First of ...

It’s time for the 3rd Annual Local Wild Food Challenge! What is this you may wonder?  Well, I really did not know, but wanted to find out.  I had no idea what to expect when I was meeting the event founder Chef Bill Manson.  Was he going to be a burly hunter, a salty fisherman, or perhaps a quiet farmer? The answer,...

Since that awful day in July, 2008, when a fire claimed the beloved Cafe Moxie, people have been waiting for it to be rebuilt and return to the Vineyard Haven restaurant scene.  Now four years later, the wait is over.  Mark your calendars it’s offical, Cafe Moxie will open its doors Friday, October 12th and will once agai...

I remember when I had first heard that Patrick and Ted Courtney were going to turn 55 Main Street, Edgartown into a restaurant, The Port Hunter.  I felt like doing a back flip.  Something good was going to go into that awesome brick building.  Finally Into the Woods was actually gone after five years of “closing.” Lo...

I know that fashion may not be a top priority for everyone on the Vineyard, but let’s face it, there is a lot of style here.  It might not be the same as the big city, but we definitely have our own flair.  So, why not strut our stuff down the catwalk? Nestled between the Fashion Weeks of New York and Boston is our own Ma...

Think things are slowing down on this little island now that Labor Day has passed?  Hardly, get ready for four days filled with film and fun, Thursday, September 6th – Sunday, September 9th with the 7th Annual Martha’s Vineyard International Film Festival (MVIFF).  Think of this as our own little Sundance, but in an even ...

With Summer winding down, there are thoughts of up-Island adventures running through my mind. With that is the desire to have some more memorable times with friends and family  before the warm weather slips away. Always on the lookout for something new, I recently stumbled upon Beach Plum Bites at the The Beach Plum Restaurant...

With the nights a little cooler and the wait for restaurants a little shorter, it’s time to go out and spend some time with friends.  I don’t know about you, but one of my favorite things to do is to grab sushi at the Lookout. For years, that has been a favorite spot of mine during the Summer and Fall months.  And while I...

We’ve all gotten that call or email from friends or family, “Hey we’re coming to the Vineyard for the day this week.”  I don’t know about you, but my mind immediately starts racing and trying to figure out what I’m going to do to show them how amazing this place is. Lucky for me, there’s Facebook – an immediate resource for so...

    Last week when I was desparately trying to find a parking spot so I could make Point B’s weekly meeting, something interesting caught my eye — even more interesting than the family walking around in matching yellow Crocs (yuck). There was a cute little red sign tucked in the corner of the back of the building th...
