Sundays are usually quiet for restaurants this time of year. Not the case at the Martha’s Vineyard Chowder Company (ChoCo). It’s busy. Why? Sunday Bloody Sunday, where you’ll find The Classic burger is only $5 from 11:30 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. How crazy is that? It’s a burger lover and/or Frugal Foodie dream. The burger is basic, ...

Now I am not necessary a buffet fan, but there are those instances that change your mind. I recently discovered one — the buffet on Sunday nights at Copper Wok. For lunch and dinner, Copper Wok offers an all you can eat Chinese Buffet, from 12:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m., for $10.99, and from 4:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., it’s $14.99...

Many of you might be familiar with our Frugal Foodie series, but I just discovered from a friend, a way to relax, that is also pretty affordable. My friend, Alex, asked me if I wanted to get a massage on a Monday because Sea Spa Salon offers a great incentive. Massage Mondays, bring a friend, it’s BOGO, buy one, get one half o...

It’s always fun to discover new things to do during quieter times on Martha’s Vineyard. Recently, I walked into Vineyard Knitworks for the first time. Located on State Road in Vineyard Haven, this shop is like a little haven. When you walk in, you’re treated to soft music, beautiful yarn as far as the eye can see, and smiling face...

What does everyone love? Free stuff, and here’s the scoop on where to get some really great free nibbles and have an amazing time. During these grey months, Rockfish knows how to entice people to come out. On Thursday and Friday nights from 5:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., the staff serve free passed apps in the first floor bar (yes only t...

For about three years now, I have been on the email list for adult crafts at the Vineyard Haven Library, but was yet to commit to one. Don’t get me wrong, the crafts are truly awesome, like making paper rose wreaths, make  jewelry with sailor knots, etc. However, one email came through that had an offer I could not r...

As you may know, I am a big fan of Island oysters. I’ve written about Signature, Honeysuckle, Cottage City, and Spearpoint Oysters, and these are only a couple of the oyster farms that are found in the waters of Martha’s Vineyard. So what could be better than an event, in February no less, that celebrates these fabulous bivalves? ...

Ah Valentine’s Day, classically referred to as a “Hallmark Holiday,” a made up day to sell cards and chocolates. I am not a subscriber to this line of thought. I love Valentine’s Day, especially on Martha’s Vineyard! This holiday seems to be so much more special here. Everyone Loves . . . Chilmark Chocolates! And guess what, they ...

So winter is in full swing. The Island has had its first big snowstorm, and now hibernation has set in for a lot of people. This is nothing new. It happens every year. The towns are quiet after 5 p.m. However this winter, JB and his team at Martha’s Vineyard Chowder Company (ChoCo) are giving you four nights of amazing deals to tem...

It seems like it wasn’t that long ago that we were all saying how great it would be to have a place to bowl on Martha’s Vineyard, something to do, get us out of the house. Well, since The Barn, Bowl & Bistro opened its doors late last Spring, we were given a great way to have fun year round. One of the things that has been so ...
