Martha's Vineyard Restaurants!


So, I did it...
I graduated!
It's been a long and challenging journey,
but it's all over now! (until I go to graduate
school in the fall for library science, that is!)

With summer vacation technically in progress 
for me now, I can finally focus all my attention on 
my Martha's Vineyard trip coming up in less than 
three weeks! I can't believe how close it is...
and to think, I planned this all in January!

So, about my trip...
to answer some of your questions from my last post,
I will be staying at the beautiful Victorian Inn 
in Edgartown from June 13th to 18th
The Victorian Inn on South Water Street
I am so excited about this stay, not only because it was rated
the best bed and breakfast in Edgartown by Trip Adviser,
but because of it's impeccable location (views of the ocean,
and a stone's throw away from main street... wonderful)!

But the inn wasn't the only thing I planned months in advance, I
also planned the restaurants we'll be dining in at each specific night.
I'm sure many of you recall that I did the same exact thing for my
 Cape Cod/Nantucket trip last year... so, as you can see,
excessive planning seems to be my forte!

Anyways, with that being said, I thought I'd show you these MV restaurants,
and give you an idea of what my stomach is in for this summer!

♥1st Night♥

"This famous Colonial pub can be found at the base of The Kelley House in the heart of the village of Edgartown. Built in 1742, The Kelley House is one of the oldest buildings on Martha's Vineyard. This rich history and genuine Colonial character is most evident at The Newes with its original rough-hewn beams, ballast brick walls and warm hearth.
The menu is a unique blend of American and British pub food and features local favorites such as: Chip Shop Curry Fries, Bangers & Mash, Roquefort Stilettos and world-famous Fish & Chips."

♥2nd Night♥
The Seafood Shanty

"The Seafood Shanty Restaurant is located on 31 Dock Street in Edgartown, next to the Memorial Wharf. Relax and enjoy your favorite wine or cocktail while you take in the exquisite view of Edgartown Harbor from our dining room or outdoor deck."

Menu


♥3rd Night♥
Lure Grill

"Reminiscent of outdoor barbecues and summer family gatherings, Lure Grill exemplifies 'Island-Inspired, Wood-Fired' cooking over applewood and mesquite woods, which provide a sweet, subtle flavor to the food they prepare. Lure Grill works closely with local farmers, growers, and fishermen in order to provide the freshest, in-season ingredients available.
There is a complimentary, sunset water taxi available from Edgartown to Lure Grill, which is offered Monday — Saturday in-season.  Ample parking is also available.  The restaurant serves dinners in a casual setting, and also features a relaxing lounge and outdoor deck - complete with an Atlantic Ocean view. It is cozy enough for a romantic dinner and friendly enough for the entire family."

Menu

I'm looking most forward to this restaurant,
mainly because of their sunset water taxi!
"Enjoy the most spectacular views of Edgartown and Chappaquiddick from the harbor – and it’s free – when you take the boat directly to Lure Grill... The 25-minute boat trip travels through sheltered Katama Bay.  See spectacular estates and the harbor not visible from any road!""


♥4th Night♥
The Black Dog Tavern
 

"This island landmark—which is more popular with tourists than locals—lies just steps from the ferry terminal in Vineyard Haven. In July and August, the wait for breakfast (with an expansive omelet assortment) can be as much as an hour from 8 am on. Why? Partly because the ambiance inside—roaring fireplace, dark-wood walls, maritime memorabilia, and a grand view of the water—makes everyone feel so at home. The menu is heavy on local fish, chowders, and chops." 

Menu

Okay, I admit it... I can be a little touristy! 


♥5th Night♥
The Atlantic Fish & Chophouse
 

"The Atlantic Fish & ChopHouse... is a neighborhood restaurant devoted to offering quality food, exceptional service and a festive nightlife. Our professional and friendly staff will take great care of you as you enjoy the freshest seafood, USDA prime steaks, by Allen Brothers, since 1863, tasty appetizers, soups, salads, and an extensive wine list.
Our stunning view of Edgartown Harbor will enchant you, but the food, service and entertainment will keep you coming back for more. We look forward to welcoming you for lunch, dinner, drinks and entertainment."

  15. Stephen Curry can become a free agent in the offseason, but he has no intention of leaving the Warriors. The two-time reigning MVP told The Wall Russell Westbrook Jerseys Street Journal on Monday he feels at home with Golden State. "It's hard to see myself anywhere else," he said, but added that "curveballs happen all the time," which could change his future. Curry has been in a Warriors uniform since he was selected seventh overall in the 2009 draft out of Davidson Lebron James Shose College, north of Charlotte, N.C. — the only NBA city outside Oakland he likely would consider moving to, and likely only late in his career.That's still a long way away, though. Curry, 28, is in his prime and has established himself as one of the premier shooters in history. His "super team" Warriors now have 2014 MVP Kevin Durant for the next two seasons and are likely Kyrie Irving Shoes to lock down Curry for a max extension worth up to $165 million, making his current four-year, $44 million contract look like chump change. Golden State is 16-2 to start the season and seems destined for a Finals rematch with the Cavaliers, Golden State Warriors Jerseys who sit atop the Eastern Conference at 13-2.
    But perhaps Portland sunk a lot into an overachieving team in the past year, and the overachievement has dried up. There are high expectations in Portland, based on the way the Blazers produced Cheap NCAA Jerseys in tough circumstances last year. Those expectations might have been based on a mirage, though. It may be that what we’ve seen so far this quarter-season — a high-scoring offense that lacks the defensive talent to get stops — is what we’ll Cheap NBA Jerseys see for the last 60-plus games. And for $340 million in future and present contracts, it might not be reason to panic, but it’s at least time for concern.
    The "Big Three" of the Cleveland Cavaliers are playing on another level Lebron James Jerseys right now.Their latest episode of dominance was on full display Sunday in a narrow 112-108 win over the Philadelphia 76ers. Despite the close final score, LeBron James, Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love had the game under control.Irving led the way with a Canada Goose Outlet
