A Summer Evening in Edgartown… & A Very Special Bedtime

This article is not about something to do or see on the Island. I have no secret places to recommend, no hot spots that are ‘the place to be this week’. It is concerning a moment of crazy, random happenstance, an act of kindness from unseen strangers. We are still in the experimental stages of […]

Labor Day – the end of summer?? Surely not!

I often describe the arrival of summer on Martha’s Vineyard as the prospect of a visit from a favorite aunt – you can’t wait for them to arrive, but after 3 months, you’re ready for it to be over! This year, I have mixed emotions about this. Labor Day, the traditional ‘end’ of summer season […]

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 Vineyard Square Hotel & Suites, 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 […]

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 […]
