The rumors are true. Offshore Ale in Oak Bluffs is offering breakfast. Not just any breakfast, the  Brewhouse Breakfast, which pays a homage to some of their craft beers and love of Irish breakfast. Now on Saturdays, from 8:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m., you can enjoy the most important meal of the day at one of the best year-rou...

The holidays are behind us. The days are still short. And sometimes you crave good pub food and a crowd, and that’s exactly what Offshore Ale’s 2-for-1 delivers. A Frugal Foodie off-season delight! Monday nights on the Island are some of the best nights this time of year in Oak Bluffs. As you walk through the door, you’re gree...

Where does one go for lunch when you’re in the middle of the Island of Martha’s Vineyard? Well, before you’d have to go head all the way into one of the towns to grab a bite, but that is no longer true. I heard it through the grapevine that there was a great new place joining the Vineyard food scene. The Starlite Lounge Take-Away ...

Tisbury, were 80% of the businesses on Main Street stay open year round, is really in the holiday spirit this year. Many of the businesses have joined the Tisbury Merchant’s Group, an energized new group that is making town fun to shop and visit, especially this month. Tiz the Season, will happen in Tisbury, the weekend of December...

As the nights get longer and more places close their doors for the season, it’s nice to know that things are still happening on the Island. It’s also nice to know that you can even spend an evening getting creative too. In 2014, Jasmine Thompson of Jazen’s Art Studio, started Create & Cocktails. Create & Cocktails are...

Though tired of saying this, I wish this Winter would end. It’s the longest, coldest, snowiest I can remember, and my somewhat sunny disposition has turned a little grey. When I heard that the Harbor View Hotel was hosting a comedy night last Friday, I immediately thought that perhaps laughter would indeed be the best medicine and...

If you’re like me, you’ve driven by Tropical Restaurant in Vineyard Haven at Five Corners almost daily for years. I decided that this was the year, the season, the day to stop in. One craves a little adventure during February on Martha’s Vineyard. Friends have told me it’s really good, but I was skeptical. The windows are tinted, ...

It’s the week before Valentine’s Day, and perhaps you’re struggling for ideas. For some, this is “Hallmark” holiday time, full of fluff. For others, this day is taken very seriously, and is a day to revere the ones you love. For me, I enjoy this sweet little holiday. It’s a reason to smother the people I love with extra kisses...

These cold nights provide an excellent reason to indulge in a little comfort food here on Martha’s Vineyard. That’s why, when I heard about the amazing fried chicken at Henry’s at the Harbor View Hotel in Edgartown, I thought it it was time for a little Frugal Foodie dining out research. I really enjoy Henry’s but especially d...

If you went to any of the Martha’s Vineyard Food & Wine Festival events last October, you might have heard the name Sam Decker. He was the sommelier who represented the Vineyard in the Sommelier Throw-Down along with wine maker Joseph Carr and wine expert, Mark Fine. It was at that event that I first met Sam, and could immedia...
