Since Memorial Day weekend 2006, thousands of people all around the world have been waking up with Laurel Redington.  I say thousands because MVY, the last independent radio station of its kind, streams online to the furthest corners of the world, think Thailand, West Tisbury, Tokyo, Ireland.  You name it, there are peopl...

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 ...

I woke up thinking that today was the perfect day for my annual trek up to Chilmark Chocolates for Christmas presents.  Imagine my surprise when I found out it was already closed for the holiday. WHAT! I get chocolates every year for my relatives. Chilmark Chocolates Already Closed? First of all, how can Chilmark Chocolates be...

Parkside Market you wonder?  It’s the new sister restaurant to Vineyard Haven hotspot, Waterside Market.  Yes, Susan and Stephen Bowen are taking this favorite lunch spot of mine over to the mainland, 281 Main Street to be exact (the old Artie’s Cafe space).  I love that both of their eateries are on Main Street...

We’d like to thank Leslie Floyd for bringing her family’s special family of bears to the Martha’s Vineyard Teddy Bear Suite this year. Their “Three Bears” were literally out of the fairy tale, with a momma bear, a pappa bear and baby bear. The three cuddly grizzly bears were a big crowd hit at this year’s Teddy Bear Suite fundraise...
