Rewind to couple years back and think about what the old Hot Tin Roof building and surrounding area looked like. Fast forward to 2018, and what a change. With MV Wine & Spirits, the new Black Sheep Mercantile, and now The Fish House, it’s a whole new world. It’s literally one stop shopping in the middle of the Island. You can ...

Martha’s Vineyard is home to some really great flea and farmer’s markets. Some that have been around for a long time, like the West Tisbury Farmer’s Market and the Chilmark Flea, and some that are still relatively new to the scene, like the Oak Bluffs Open Market. I often drive by the vendors setting up on Sunday morning in Washin...

Behind every great store is a story, and Chappy Happy has one that starts in tragedy and ends happy. Hilarie Lally DeNoon started her day as she would any other on January 24th, 2013, to work, kids to school, just another Winter day in Clinton, NY. She called her mother as she did often, and learned that her dad was not feeli...

Chances are if you’ve been to any of the the flea markets this summer, you’ve seen the Yommi trailer. It’s hard to miss, baby blue, a surf board on top, and a smiling face behind the counter. You can’t walk by without checking it out. It just looks like some good is about to happen. Last year, Adrian Johnson and Nicole Corbo opene...

Yoga certainly is not a new phenomenon on the Island or elsewhere, but you can experience it on Martha’s Vineyard in a very special way – Dock Yoga with Sherry Sidoti. For a few Summers, she would go to the dock at Owen Park at sunrise to practice yoga, which as you can imagine was a great way to start her day. People would a...

Fine dining, some of the best burgers on the Island and now PIZZA. Atria does it again. Once reserved for private parties, the outside dining area is now a beautiful, more casual outside dining space with its own bar. Here you’ll find chef/owner Christian Thornton tossing pies. He had always loved making pizzas as a kid, and now h...

Gone are the dozens of silent auction items. Gone is the long sit down dinner. Hello FARM based interactive evening out. I recently met with Eunice Youmans, the General Manager for the Trustees on Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket. She had a lot of enthusiasm when discussing this year’s Meals In the Meadow, happening Saturday, July ...

If the adorable Popcycle graphics and colorful instagram don’t make you want to order frozen treats right now, then perhaps the amazing young woman behind this frosty, tasty venture, will. Meet Noah Goldberg. Now 17, she started Popcycle last year when she came for the Summer to Edgartown with her family, as she does every year, es...

Looking for the ultimate overview of Martha’s Vineyard? There’s really nothing quite like seeing and experiencing the Vineyard from the air — especially the open air cockpit of a biplane. A common sight in the skies above Martha’s Vineyard, you may easily recognize the red biplanes of Classic Aviators. Classic Aviators has been f...

I have known Michael Brisson, the chef/owner of l’etoile for so many years. His restaurant is one of the backbones of the fine dining scene on Martha’s Vineyard. However, it’s the more casual bar that has always been my favorite, and boy are you in for a surprise when you visit this season. There are some traditions for me when vi...
