Let’s face it, most moms like to a break from cooking, and Mother’s Day is a great reason to give your mom a break. On this particular day, there are a number of Island restaurants that pull out all the stops for this important lady. Many restaurants that don’t even offer brunch do so in her honor. Letting mom wake up late, perhap...

I was smitten with Behind the Bookstore (BTB) immediately. When I’m there, I can easily forget that I am downtown Edgartown, that Main Street is just steps away. I love being enveloped by the gardens and warmed by peaks of sun through the canopy while enjoy a delicious bite and beverage. You can imagine my curiosity was piqued whe...

It’s that time……..places are reawakening after their long Winter nap. This is a very exciting time for us Islanders who are definitely ready for more options. Also, it means that Summer is on its way, and I don’t know about you, but I could use some serious vitamin D along with venturing to these places. Oak Bluffs Red Cat Kit...

How to say goodbye to Summer? Even though it’s not quite over, with school starting this week and restaurants already starting to close, it seems like a big dinner out with friends is a good way to celebrate all the fun that was had and the fun that is still to come.

These are just a couple of reasons why I think that Behind the Bookstore’s weekend evenings of cocktails and snacks...

The ebb and flow of Island life includes the closing of a number of restaurants. This always saddens me, since there is nothing I like more during the winter months then going out to dinner. However, there is still time to grab a meal at a number of your favorite spots. Here’s our Fall Guide for your dining adventures over the...

Tucked behind the iconic Edgartown Books lies one of Edgartown’s hidden gems for dinner, Behind the Bookstore. Known for its amazing coffee, and daytime fare, the evening offers its own special experience. The lights on the sail cloth tents and the well placed surrounding lights make for an intimate, even slightly magical dinner s...

As you may know, I have always been a big fan of Behind the Bookstore. There is something wonderful about enjoying a great cup of coffee or bite to eat in someplace that feels so intimate but is just steps off of Main Street in Edgartown (behind Edgartown Books). Just when I thought it couldn’t get better, Behind the Bookstore (BTB...
