The Winter months seemed a little longer without Atria’s Sunday Burger Night, so when it was time for their doors to open, I knew I had to go, and see what was new for this 17th season. Atria is like two worlds, kind of like the Island sometimes. The upstairs, which is light and sophisticated, and the downstairs Brick Cellar, whic...

I want to begin this blog as someone who lives right around the corner of Summercamp, formerly know as the Wesley Hotel. When I first heard that the hotel was purchased, I was ecstatic.

I knew that I had to get a pair, and find out who was behind this great up-cycle style! Thanks to festival Programming and Managing Director, Brian Ditchfield, I lear...

Over the past year, The Ritz has become a contender in the restaurant scene on Martha’s Vineyard. With Chef Ben DeForest taking over the kitchen all Winter long, the food there has become quite an Island topic. With Red Cat back open, Ben is not there as much, but lucky for us, a chef who trained and has worked with him is in the ...

*Update – Article 30 was passed at the Oak Bluffs Town Meeting on April 12th. Now, High Tide needs to apply for a special permit, but things are looking positive! A couple of years ago, two friends were hanging out one night at Port Hunter, enjoying the amazing cocktails there and spirits used to make them. The conversation go...

*As of April 11th, House of Colour on Martha’s Vineyard will no longer be available. Wendy and her husband are on to new adventures down south. Thank you Wendy for helping so many people feel more beautiful! For a while now, people have been telling me I should get my colors done. But why? I like color, well some, and feel like I c...
