I cannot tell you how many times I have driven by John’s Fish Market/Sandy’s Fish “N” Chips on State Road in Vineyard Haven. Heck, I used to live right up the street, yet I had never gone. However, recently I have been hearing about how good the food is. My friend Angie has told me that the “Obama Burger” is one of the best o...

Though I was just at Not Your Sugar Mamas in August because of their new cafe opening in Vineyard Haven,  I am back. Not for another amazing and healthy chocolate treat or Dandelion Latte, but for lunch. Not Your Sugar Mamas recently began serving lunch at their organic cafe. Their kitchen I should mention is certified organic...

For months now, I’ve been driving by Beach Road Restaurant in Vineyard Haven, watching renovations progress, hearing rumors of opening dates, and with much anticipation growing.

Since 1984, Fella, and with the help of his wife, Jane, have been serving up good food on Martha’s Vineyard.

Before this endeavor, James and Tanya had taken over Bob’s Pizza up on Main Street in Vineyard Haven. At that location, they quickly developed a big following with their fresh food, amazing pizza...

Ok so it’s another fun, crazy summer on the Vineyard, and I have to admit that I have not necessarily been eating the most healthy of foods. It’s hard to do, with all the dining out and BBQ’s and summer cocktails. I need some easy, tasty, healthy options that are fast. Imagine my surprise when I was driving up State Road to g...

Last month I was lucky enough to meet Natalie Grewal, a young, enthusiastic coffee drinker who was working on opening her dream on Martha’s Vineyard, Nat’s Nook, a coffee house and creperie in Vineyard Haven. Well, the doors finally opened this past Monday, June 9th. It’s everything she could have hoped for it to be and m...
