Future Home of 11 North A couple of weeks ago, I wrote about the new Vineyard restaurant replacing David Ryan’s on North Water Street in Edgartown.  It seems as though I may have been misinformed about a couple of things, but I’m now back on the right track. The chef from Boston’s Sonsie, Bill Poirier, will not be opening t...

Who or what is Pirate Jack?  Well, it’s Pirate Jack’s Burger Shack!  Pirate Jack’s is taking over the old Oh Sun restaurant next to the Surfside Hotel on Oak Bluffs Avenue, downtown OB. Say goodbye to the tired window boxes and blah food, and say hello to Pirate Jack’s, where you’ll be able to grab a fab bite to eat and s...

  There is something about a cupcake.  Such a simple, small pastry can bring so much happiness to your life, a smile to your face and pleasure to your taste buds.  OK, perhaps I enjoy a cupcake more than your average person.

An Uncommon Sight As I drove up State Road in Vineyard Haven, I saw something I never expected to see at the end of February, a line of people outside waiting to get Mexican take-out.  Apparently I was not the only one super excited about the prospect of La Choza and its burritos, or perhaps it was just the thought of som...

With the days staying lighter longer, and the crocuses and daffodils in bloom at the Edgartown Library, you can feel Edgartown starting to wake from it’s mini-hibernation.  Sprucing up for the Summer has begun in a number of stores.

It seems as though there is even more to add to the growing list of changes in Vineyard Haven.  In addition to another place to grab a bite to eat, and the opening date of La Choza, it is also rumored that soon downtown will have new street poles, new benches (good for people watching), new trash cans and more.  It seems ...

Every Sunday I look forward to going out to breakfast with my family.  It’s been a tradition that started in 2009 when I was pregnant with my first child.  I had to have pancakes on Sunday no matter what, and it’s been a tradition that we’ve carried on.  During the Winter months, I have some favorites that are on rot...

We’ve survived the first half of January!  A much deserved long weekend is finally here. With the three-day holiday, there are lots of opportunities to enjoy time on Martha’s Vineyard and the celebrate the importance of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Oscar Worthy Le Havre Movie Poster Feeling the Oscar Buzz a little earl...

We’re now in the second week of the 2012. I can’t help but wonder how people are doing with their New Year’s resolutions.
