So winter is in full swing. The Island has had its first big snowstorm, and now hibernation has set in for a lot of people. This is nothing new. It happens every year. The towns are quiet after 5 p.m. However this winter, JB and his team at Martha’s Vineyard Chowder Company (ChoCo) are giving you four nights of amazing deals to tem...

For this Frugal Foodie, we ventured to Henry’s at the Harbor View Hotel where you can find some of the best (and most delicious) dining deals on the Island during the off-season.

That’s why, when I heard about the amazing fried chicken at Henry’s at the Harbor View Hotel in Edgartown, I thought it it was time for a little Frugal Foodie dining out research. I really enjoy Henry’s but especially d...

This might sound crazy, but I think the best town to grab a bite to eat and make the most of your money this time of year is Edgartown. There’s something fun and frugal happening almost everyday of the week. This is our third Frugal Foodie Guide, and we’re hitting the town, to see what the restaurants in Edgartown ha...

Spring fever has kicked in. It’s school vacation week and it seems as though more than half the Island is someplace warm. However if you staying put, let’s talk about some dining deals because you know you want to be out of the house as much as possible. This is our second Frugal Foodie Guide, and we’re hitting the town, to see wha...
