Halloween may not be until next week, but this is the weekend to get in the spirit on Martha’s Vineyard. Halloween is one of my favorite holidays, though it’s more treat than tricks for this lady nowadays. Nevertheless, I could not be more excited about all the Halloween themed events happening.

Each Summer season I love going to the three big Island towns and checking out what’s new.  With this post, I am focusing on Edgartown, and as always, there is a lot happening in this quaint, picturesque old whaling town. Lots Brewing in Edgartown Not that long ago, Edgartown was not necessarily the best town to visit for a gr...

Each year, the Martha’s Vineyard Museum (MVM) curators come up with a number of fun and interesting exhibits about Martha’s Vineyard.  I feel like the MVM is one of those places that should be on everyone’s bucket list, and I can’t wait for it to be in its new, bigger space in Vineyard Haven. As always, their exhibits catch my...

Starting today, you can satisfy that need for chocolate in both Edgartown and Vineyard Haven.  Not Your Sugar Mamas (NYSM) opens the doors to its new location on Winter Street in Edgartown, next to Humphrey’s (which is open by the way).

I bet many people like me have seen A Savory Pie Company’s boxed pies at Cronigs, Reliable or Stop and Shop in Edgartown.  The packaging is eye-catching, and the pies look delicious, but I have never bought one before. Curiosity piqued, I was on a mission to find out more regarding A Savory Pie Company. To Chilmark for Take-Ou...

St. Patrick’s Day brings out the best in Islanders!  First – so many of us are indeed Irish, at least in spirit today. Second, at this time of the year, we’re raring for a reason to get out and celebrate, and the 2nd Annual Wee St. Patrick’s Day Parade offers just that. The parade is sponsored by the Newes (From America Pub) i...

People always wonder what we do on Martha’s Vineyard during the long winter months.  I think they’d be surprised to see just how much there is to do. This Winter, I’m getting in touch with flowers.  Sounds a little strange I know, but there’s something about fresh flowers that chases away some of the grey we see in New En...

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.
