A Sense of Fall on Martha’s Vineyard

As the leaves turn, the weather cools and the island hustle and bustle transforms into the slow pace way of life “island life”……The shops are offering sales, the restaurants are serving comfort food, and the fact that you can skip the bathing suit and walk around in leggings, boots and a cozy sweater is in my mind a bonus.

My weekends look a little like this…

Dinner with the Fam:

At The Newes from America– Onion rings, and the simple salad with tenderloin is my favorite. While my husband prefers the buttermilk chicken and my 2 year old son eats the fish and chips and of course the pickles and ice cream that our favorite waitresses Ashley brings.

Or date night out: Alchemy is wonderful. The second floor offers a cozy fireplace and a great bar. The risotto balls are amazing and I love the Jonas crab salad.

Sunday morning breakfast: Black Dog for sure, finally no wait! The French toast is my best friend.

A stroll in Vineyard haven, (to walk off the French toast) into Rainy Day to look at the amazing Christmas ornaments and stocking-stuffers they start to set up.

Top it off with leave cleanup and a visit to Morning Glory Farm for a hot apple cider and donuts to go.

#MeetTheAgentsMonday

One of my favorite things to do in the off season on Martha’s Vineyard is get together with friends for a small intimate dinner and reconnect after the busy summer season. My husband, Jonathan, and I had the opportunity to do this last week and had a lovely meal at L’Etoile in Edgartown. It was the perfect venue to meet up with our friend Lil and have a quiet meal at a small table in the bar area. The menu had lots of choices that accommodated all of our tastes from Octopus to Duck to Halibut to a terrific Bailey’s Crème Brule. I can see why this is a popular spot for our summer vacation visitors and highly recommend you give it a try. It can be on the pricey side but you can count on Michael, the chef, coming through with a terrific meal. Also, a great wine list that gave the perfect finishing touch to a great evening out with great friends.
