Top Things to do in Martha's Vineyard
Things to do in Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts (MA): The Best Food & Drink
Yes, getting there is a bit of a project. But vacationers have been braving the ferry for years, and this tiny island off Cape Cod remains one of the most popular and picturesque destinations in New England. Among the island's towns, you're sure to find the Vineyard that's right for you. With stately Greek revival houses dating back to the whaling era of the early 19th century, Edgartown is a seaside village of boutique shopping and pristine harbor views. For more of a "beach town" feel, Oak Bluffs has the Flying Horses carousel, an arcade and an easy walk to the beach, plus the history and charm of the "gingerbread" houses in the Methodist campgrounds. Vineyard Haven offers visitors a blend of both. For a real retreat, Chilmark/Aquinnah is the place to get away from it all. In the off-season, the island is quieter and far less crowded, but the shore is always beautiful. Whenever you visit, leave your car behind! Cabs are plentiful and greet the incoming ferries to help you reach your destination. Most visitors prefer to explore the island on a bicycle, scooter or tourist-friendly public buses.

I'm not sure how things are set up when not in pandemic mode - but we enjoyed our beers and snacks on the porch seated on rocking chairs in a garden like setting. Staff and guests were wearing masks and tables were well spaced. You got the menu by scanning a QR code. They have a nice range of beers and we enjoyed many of them, especially the cream ale and the chocoberry stout. We ordered the cheese and veggie plate which at first glance looked expensive (I think around $25?) but when it arrived I was impressed. Beautifully presented, very generous portions, and all high quality ingredients. The two of us could not finish it. All in all, great experience.
