Evelyn Walk around the Tabernacle in Oak Bluffs and see the Gingerbread Cottages but be sure to look for Eleanor. She’s well past ninety, a wealth of Martha’s Vineyard info, and she may even ask you to sign her visitor’s book. She will be on her porch waiting for you to come by. Michael Pack [...]
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 has Greatest Place to Eat in the Whole Wide World
Aug 10 2010
As a writer, I love hyperbole. It grabs the reader’s attention, making the point and then some – stretching the truth for good purpose. The title of this post is a great example.Sharky’s Cantina may not be the Greatest Place to Eat in the Whole Wide World, but if it isn’t, it’s darn close. Seriously, [...]
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. [...]

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.

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 (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 [...]
