Vacation still far away, but in the mood for a little getaway from the Island life?  Well, there’s an easy solution.  A night in Falmouth can do the trick. Think about it  — new places to grab a bite to eat, shopping in chain stores, and being someplace different….sounds like fun doesn’t it?  Also, it could be f...

People always wonder what we do on Martha’s Vineyard during the Winter months.  Well, I can tell you that on Sunday nights, we have burgers!  Since 2007, the Brick Cellar at Atria, on Main Street in Edgartown has been doing two-for-one burgers on Sunday nights, and let me tell you — this is a scene. Soon as you hit t...

For almost 70 years, the Art Cliff Diner has been cooking up good eats on Martha’s Vineyard.  Sure, some things have changed over the years like last year’s renovation and the addition of a food truck, but one thing has stayed the same, amazing food. When Gina Stanley bought the Art Cliff Diner 13 years ago, she kept on the pa...

You know what they say about the weather in New England, and today saw one of those winter-in-New-England days. There was a pretty good coastal snow storm, dumping six to eight inches across various parts of Martha’s Vineyard.

Calling all Martha’s Vineyard vacation renters and Vineyard vacation home owners — the Martha’s Vineyard Steamship Authority advance car reservation sales for this summer, begin on Tuesday the 15th.  The annual feeding frenzy for Martha’s Vineyard ferry tickets was already causing website issues for the Steamship Authority lat...

We knew that this year’s Teddy Bear Suite was something special.  I don’t know if it was the new hotel room — or I should say actual suite — at the Harbor View Hotel, or the new mascot, Chappy, or the commemorative bears, but our second year shattered my expectations! The Martha’s Vineyard Teddy Bear Suite raised over $7,500 f...

Finally, on a cold January night, I made my way to one of Edgartown’s newest additions to the restaurant scene, Eleven North.  I had not been there since my sneak peak inside before it opened.  Excited to go, I decided it was reason enough to don a little extra make-up and some fun earrings. Long Awaited As I might have s...

A couple of weeks ago, I wrote about Waterside Market’s sister restaurant in Falmouth, Parkside Restaurant.  Cleverly named since it is across the street from the park on Main Street in Falmouth.  This great new addition to the Falmouth dining scene is open for business.  Offering the perfect place to grab breakfast ...
