I know it’s hard to believe, but Summer 2012 is almost over, and there are so many things left on my bucket list!  Why do June, July, and August go by so quickly? Luckily, this week I was able to cross one more thing off that list, a trip to the Featherstone Flea and Fine Arts Market in Oak Bluffs aka “the Featherstone Flea.” ...

It’s finally here, the Ag Fair!  There’s a bit more excitement in the air and the Island is packed with people. After all, who doesn’t love the fair, and we all have a favorite thing to do when there.  Something special that we look forward to all Summer long.  Whether it’s seeing all the animals, the skillet toss, t...

We’ve all gotten that call or email from friends or family, “Hey we’re coming to the Vineyard for the day this week.”  I don’t know about you, but my mind immediately starts racing and trying to figure out what I’m going to do to show them how amazing this place is. Lucky for me, there’s Facebook – an immediate resource for so...

  On Wednesdays at the Chilmark Community Center from the end of June to the end of August, there’s a special treat for kids of all ages, Cinema Circus.  Now in it’s fourth year,  and part of the well known Martha’s Vineyard Film Festival, it is certain to make your kids and the kid in you smile.  The...

    Last week when I was desparately trying to find a parking spot so I could make Point B’s weekly meeting, something interesting caught my eye — even more interesting than the family walking around in matching yellow Crocs (yuck). There was a cute little red sign tucked in the corner of the back of the building th...

So, I’ve been to Hooked for its opening party.  I have gone there for drinks with friends and loved it, but was yet to have dinner there.  That’s kind of sad, especially for me, since it’s been open since May, and I’ve been hearing great things about it. With my husband’s family in town for vacation, there are a total of ...

When I had heard that Ben deForest was taking over the kitchen at Ken’N’ Beck, I had mixed feelings.  The Vineyard’s own “bad boy” chef coming back to Oak Bluffs.  What was he going to do with that small, quirky little restaurant? Naturally, curiosity got the best of me, and I reached out to Ben, asking if I could stop by...

Not one for the lazy days of Summer, I like to pack in as much as I can during the season.  We all know that there are lots of things to do on the weekend, but let’s talk about something to do on Mondays, that can really up the ante of a week night — Musical Mondays at Featherstone Center for the Arts in Oak Bluffs. ...

As the Summer continues, it amazes me that there are still more new places to discover on Martha’s Vineyard.  I am a down-Island girl, but every now and then I like to head up-Island and experience other things this mgical Island has to offer.  So, it was off to Menemsha where I always feel like I’m on vacation to see wha...

When I first heard that a new restaurant was going in where the old David Ryan’s was, I have to admit that I was pretty excited.  Taking up such a large piece of real estate on North Water Street, whatever it was would have quite an impact. Construction began and rumors swirled around the Island.  Some said it was going t...
