I recommend Atria or Alchemy in Edgartown. Both are on the web. Its a great destination. Spending July 4th there. Also try the Bite where you are staying.
One of my favorite things to do on the Vineyard is to buy great local take-out seafood or wine and cheese and watch the sunset in Menemsha. Every night, there's typically a small crowd by the fishing dock area and everyone applauds when the sun hits the water. It is equally as beautiful an experience as watching the sunset over Gustavia. You'll love your time there.
(And yes, it is touristy, but I LOVE the Black Dog Cafe. The food is quite good. The take out bakery is wonderful, too.)
now that you've met the Capes well behaved, always presentable, polite, blue blooded children, i.e. Nantucket and MV, we gotta get you guys to meet the Capes crazy, eccentric, wild rebellious child...P Town.....
Thanks Mike, Jeanette and Voyager for your MV suggestions. We had a great trip to MV. Just love it up there.
We had beautiful weather and many great days on the beaches.
Enjoyed fabulous dinners at the Beach Plum, Outermost Inn, and Sweet Life. Lunch on the beach at Menemsha was super--fried scallops from The Bite are great. Lobster rolls from Laresen's were delicious too. My 6 yr old daughter ate one and said, "This is the best sandwich I've ever had in my life!"
MV was wonderful. All three of us were torn as to what we liked better--MV or Nantucket. I think Nantucket might win but it sure is close!
