I have read some of the entries about places to go on the island and I think one thing that people have missed is the great food on the island. There are some really great restaurants, some on the expensive side, but that is the best part of being on vacation! Some of my favorites are Lure, Beach Plum Inn, Sweet Life Cafe and Mediterranean. For a more casual dinner, try Slice of Life – great for breakfast, lunch and dinner! Best of all, they serve La Columbe coffee from Philadelphia!!! But, by far, the best coffee on the island is at Beetlebung in Vineyard Haven….very laid back but the bessstttt coffee ever!! Espresso Love used to be my favorite, but last couple of times I was there, it just wasn’t the same. Another thing to check out is the Farmer’s Market in Chillmark – check the local papers for dates/times, but great for local produce/jams/flowers & a little local culture. Try Larsens for a cheap lobster dinner…stop in earlier in the day to place your order for lobster and steamers served up with cole slaw and maybe a little chowder..around 6 or 7, pick up your hot dinner – bring your own bread, wine and towels if you want to hang out and have a picnic dinner on the lobster crates out back. Another great place is Morning Glory Farms – they open at 9 am with hot, fresh baked muffins, local produce and freshly brewed coffee. Great to hang out on the front porch in the rocking chairs or walk around the nursery to check out the beautiful flower gardens. Ok, one more place – Among the Flowers for breakfast or lunch – coffee is not that great, so get from Espresso Love up the street(closest best coffee in Edgartown) Their waffles with fresh fruit and yogurt is great! For lunch, salads and sandwiches are fresh and healthy. Will add more details about places to go later….take care and enjoy your trip….I am ready to go back just talking about it!
