Larsen’s Fish Market… a Martha’s Vineyard Tradition
Oct 8 2010
Fall is digging in its heels here on Martha’s Vineyard. The weather has cooled, pumpkins abound, and many stores and restaurants have started to cut back their hours. One of my favorite island past times is still going strong for a couple more weeks, though. According to many, the best restaurant on Martha’s Vineyard is [...]
Martha’s Vineyard Chocolate Hotspots!
Apr 2 2010
Chocolate. The mere word conjures up all manner of sensations: images, scents – even moods. But most of all tastes. It is part of our diet and part of our culture. Consider the phrases that have entered the vox populi: When the going gets tough, the tough get chocolate. Chocolate: It’s not just for breakfast anymore. [...]
Vineyard Autumn
Nov 5 2009
Fall is the opposite of spring. Nowhere have I seen the contrast of the two as obvious as on Martha’s Vineyard. In April, we see a world coming slowly and ambitiously to life. I’m not just talking about the overnight sensation of your brown lawn suddenly showing little patches of lime green. I liken what [...]
Among Martha’s Vineyard Restaurants – The Artcliff’s a Fantastic Frugal Find!
Oct 1 2009
So, if you’ve been following this blog you will have read CJ’s reviews of eating on a budget on MV – she did well but I think I might have found the ultimate eat out on a budget spot – The take out van at the Artcliff Diner!!!!! Anyone who loves breakfast food knows that the [...]
Eating Out on Martha’s Vineyard on a Budget, Part 4 Up-Island
Sep 4 2009
This post is the fourth and last in a series of posts that highlight some of the less expensive options for eating out on Martha’s Vineyard. We (meaning the Vineyard) have gotten a lot of national and even world wide press lately, thanks to the First Family’s visit last week. A lot of the press [...]
Searching for the Perfect Ice Cream Cone on Martha’s Vineyard
Aug 24 2009
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
Aug 20 2009
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 [...]
Eating Out on Martha’s Vineyard on a Budget – Part 3, Vineyard Haven
Aug 10 2009
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 [...]
Eating Out on Martha’s Vineyard- On a Budget Part 2, Oak Bluffs
Aug 3 2009
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 [...]
Eating out on Martha’s Vineyard (without breaking the budget)
Jul 13 2009
Those who know me well would probably describe my spending habits as “cheap”… but I prefer the terms “economy minded” or “frugal”! I don’t eat out often (college tuitions to save for you know), and I really appreciate a Value. For all of these reasons, I am sympathetic to visitors who want to vacation on [...]
