    Bicycling on Martha’s Vineyard, The Path to Wonder

    Among the many attractions of Martha’s Vineyard are the bike paths that wind all over the eastern half of the island. I love the narrow meandering routes they take, whether through woods or along the seashore. Roads are OK for biking for some, but I admit to being a little wary ever since I got [...]

    A Stroll Through Arts District in Oak Bluffs

    Time to move our gallery stroll to Oak Bluffs. First, my apologies to all of the wonderful galleries I do not include in my ruminations. I know there are many, but I am trying to keep my selection to a literal stroll. Perhaps, in the future, I will blog about the notable artistic destinations that [...]

    Searching for the Perfect Ice Cream Cone on Martha’s Vineyard

    Okay, yes. We are Newbie parents. We kept as much sugar our of our baby girl’s life as possible during the first year. I have already received mockery from friends and family for this (no TV either. How shocking…) so no taunting the blog-guy! Now, however, we have discovered the joys of “Icey Creeem” as [...]

    Chesca’s Restaurant – A Delight to the Senses

    No one can come and stay at the Colonial Inn, or indeed in Edgartown, without knowing Chesca’s. This restaurant is an island institution and has built a very loyal following over its 16 years anchoring the porch of the Colonial Inn on North Water Street. ‘Urban Italian’ is how they describe the cuisine – to me [...]

    Martha’s Vineyard Art Galleries – An Abundant Collection

    Like most people who live on Martha’s Vineyard, I wear more than one hat. I love my job here with our guests at the Colonial Inn & Edgartown Residence Club, but I also would not feel like a whole person if I ever gave up my identity as a freelance illustrator. Those of us with [...]

    More Martha’s Vineyard Beaches

    I already covered most of the Edgartown area beaches in an earlier post, so now to venture a little further afield… I mentioned in my last post how fun State Beach is – lots of kids, lots of fun, great swimming. If you continue on Beach road to Oak Bluffs you will come across Inkwell Beach, [...]

    Eating Out on Martha’s Vineyard on a Budget – Part 3, Vineyard Haven

    A Martha’s Vineyard vacation doesn’t have to be the posh, high end, “take out a loan, we’re going on vacation” kind of vacation that you so frequently read about in connection with The Vineyard.  A lot of down to earth (and really nice) people live and vacation here and have to make the fun work on [...]

    Ode to South Beach – My Beach, Right or Wrong!

    South Beach is anything but cool. It’s crowded, cacophonous and constantly in motion. To be really cool, you’ve gotta be seen at Lucy Vincent, Wasque, Moshup or one of the other more exclusive spots. But exclusivity is the problem for me. I don’t want to have to be a resident, I don’t want to have [...]

    Eating Out on Martha’s Vineyard- On a Budget Part 2, Oak Bluffs

    Because there are so many great eating options from which to choose on Martha’s Vineyard, I have divided the choices geographically, and am focusing on Oak Bluffs in this post.  If you missed Part 1 (Edgartown)please check it out and add your personal favorites. You can ask just about any islander for a reasonably priced eating [...]

    August Events on Martha’s Vineyard, Part 2

    …Ah, now that I’ve caught my breath, on with August events. It is those of you that spend the last two weeks of the month with us who are the most adventurous and inexhaustible. I decided long ago that you all must go home and have another week of vacation to recuperate before returning to [...]
