A Few Highly Suggested Restaurants in Edgartown
As you know, Martha’s Vineyard has been a summer paradise for both celebrities and presidents for many years. It’s also a favorite destination of people from New England and all over the world for that matter. Did you know that an island wide “no chain store” policy has kept the island as quaint as possible and also completely disconnected from the mainland. In addition, there are zero parking meters or traffic lights on Martha’s Vineyard. An incredibly popular area of the island is Edgartown, which is a former whaling village.
Edgartown is unique even by Martha’s Vineyard standards because it has historic streets that are preserved in time, and the best shopping and restaurants on the entire island. Speaking of which, for breakfast you should give Behind the Bookstore a try. They have the most delicious coffee, warm rice pudding with preserved lemon, and black plums. You can also take a drive to the Right Fork Diner. While you’re eating your lobster eggs Benedict you can watch antique biplanes take off and land at the Katama grass airfield.
From there you can purchase supplies for a picnic lunch on the beach. Stop by the Farm Institute shop and grab some organic cheeses and produce. You can also grab other lunch related items at the Black Sheep off of Main Street. Now that you know what to do for breakfasts and lunches, it’s time to talk about dinners. The Port Hunter has live music, and craft beers in addition to some delicious food. The Covington offers a farm-to-table menu including fresh pasta. If you’re in the mood for oysters, give Raw 19 Oyster Bar a try. You can also order lobster, clam chowder and fish.
If you’re traveling to Edgartown for a vacation or even for the day, it absolutely makes sense to rent a vehicle to get around to the various places that you want to see and experience including the restaurants as listed above.
