I first met Susan Wilson when we both worked at the Martha’s Vineyard Museum. I liked her immediately. Susan is witty and devoted, and an all around good person who definitely speaks her mind. Little did I know I was in the presence of a New York Times best selling author. I knew Susan wrote, but I didn’t know she had books publish...

So, Susie Middleton has been on my mind for a blog for quite awhile. Every time I drive by Green Island Farm, I think to myself that today is the day. Finally on a cold day in February I made that stop. I first met Susie years ago on Plum TV. She had written her first cookbook Fast, Fresh, & Green. I remember studying her ...

In a sea of burger nights and trivia nights, how great is it that there is now a Taco Night as an option? Atria has started Taco Wednesdays in the Brick Cellar Bar. I know, you would think it would be Taco Tuesday but that’s too predictable, and also the restaurant is closed Mondays and Tuesdays. In true Atria fashion, this ni...

As of January 26th, you can now get a late breakfast or lunch at Beetlebung Corner in Chilmark. In front of the Chilmark General Store you’ll find The Food Truck parked and ready to serve up some delicious bites. What? A food truck Up-Island in January? What is this craziness? Well, actually it’s far from crazy. Josh Aronie (M...

Not since the nineties — or unless you’re lucky enough to have friends with private lanes — have people been able to bowl on Martha’s Vineyard. With a bigger year-round community and more people visiting off-season, this Island is in need of more things to do. Bowling in Oak Bluffs Well hopefully, sooner rather than later, we’ll be...

For the second year in a row, the Oak Bluffs Library has hosted a Library Mini Golf fundraiser. How is this possible you might wonder? Well, a company, Library Mini Golf, comes in and designs and creates an actual 18 hole mini golf course in the library. I had missed last year’s event, but was determined to go the Friday night...

One of the bummers of the Summer coming to an end is that the West Tisbury Farmer’s Market is no longer around to enrich our Saturday mornings. However, we now have the West Tisbury Winter Farmer’s Market at the Ag Hall. It’s an abundance of Island grown meat, produce and other goods. The Ag Hall is transformed into a room ful...

In late October, MV Wine and Spirits opened its doors. Located next to Flatbread by the Martha’s Vineyard Airport, this location is a game changer for a lot of Island residents. Brion and Brion Sr. McGroarty from Town Provisions in downtown Edgartown closed that location and opened their brand new package store, MV Wine and Spirits...

Twenty years later, and the Island is still celebrating the raising of the new Ag Hall in West Tisbury and the community that helped build it with the Barn Raisers’ Ball. Ten years after moving to Martha’s Vineyard, I went to my first Barn Raisers’ Ball. I know, I too can’t believe I had never gone before. I guess I always felt a b...

In case you didn’t notice, off-season on Martha’s Vineyard has really begun. And with that comes fewer restaurants open for us to enjoy, but it also means that some of the best and most fun food deals on the Island are in effect. Offshore Ale 2-For-1 Is Back The Island’s favorite 2-for-1 at Offshore Ale is back.  Starting Mond...
