Since we stayed in Edgartown we ate their a lot so Edgartown's guide is broken up into 'sites' and 'eats', visit my 'sites post' here, and my post on Newport here.

Breakfast

Thie is where most of our mornings began since A has an extreme coffee addiction. They also have lunch fare, but we never ended up eating there, I 'like' them on FB and they always post their lunch specials, which always make me hungry!

They also have a great covered area and pretty courtyard to enjoy your brews outside.

Dock St. Coffee Shop
A true local greasy spoon, and a long closet of a place, we got tasty breakfast sandwiches and hash browns here quick. The coffee however didn't get the A stamp of approval.
Lunch
We didn't do much lunch on this trip since we mainly stuffed ourselves with  an early dinner.



 Main Street Diner
We ate here when silly me realized the famous "Among the Flowers Cafe" was closed for the season. We still had yummy BLT Sandwiches, it's decorated cute too, located near the tiny movie theater, and across from Espresso Love. A great lighter lunch spot.

Dinner


The Wharf Restaurant & Pub
We ate here after our journey to the Island since it was a stones throw from our hotel. I was still full from my mega Fish Tacos so I got potato skins, and A got a Philly. Both were good but nothing spectacular.

Newes From America Pub

Located in the bottom of Kelley House this was one of our favorite places on the island, we ate here twice and had drinks here once as well.
Newes has our favorite Fish n Chips on the whole island (we sampled many), a nice huge hunk of  fish and tasty crispy fries. I got the Fish n Chips twice, once A got the burger which was also awesome.
They also have super size beer mugs... and who doesn't like those? You even get wooden nickels to collect to join their 'Declaration of Superiority', we've only got 490 to go!
 

David Ryan's
In hindsight, their webpage background says it all, this was our only lackluster dining experience on the island.


The whole time I felt like Gordon Ramsay could pop out at any moment declaring this place a 'Kitchen Nightmare.' They had all the classic blunders: elevator music, near empty dining room but everyone super bunched together, a lone clueless waiter who quite literally copied down the entire title of our entrées over our shoulders, reprimand of said waiter by owner in earshot of customers, question if A's beer was ever going to arrive, a specials menu full of entrées far fancier than their menu, and long wait for everything.
Our food was pretty good, and luckily it was buy one get one on the entrées from the bad word doc 'special menu' of $20+ entrees. 


The Grill on Main
The great part of going in the off season, even the popular fancier places have Buy one get one entrées. We saved the best for last and went to Grill on Main on our last night, it was amazing!
We got their crab cake appetizer (Atlantic Crab and Sweet Corn Cakes with a Roasted Garlic Mayonnaise) which was AMAZING, even the mayo was awesome, and this is coming from Maryland girlie, so it's kinda a big deal.
Andrew had the prime rib and I had the shrimp Alfredo both were awesome. It was a nice light Alfredo, if you can call any cheese sauce 'light'. It was the perfect cap to our trip, and is certainly a must for any Vineyard visit. (Note it isn't in downtown, it's further up Main near the Stop and Shop.)
While we hopped around the island during our 6 days there for my post I'm going to group everything into which town it was in, since we stayed in Edgartown and ate there a lot, I'm breaking Edgartown up into Sights & Eats posts.

 Us in our rental sooooo happy to have made it to the ferry just 15 min before it left when you're supposed be there more than 30.
 On the evening ferry over to Vineyard Haven.
 
 View from the Harbor Side Inn in Edgartown where we stayed.


All those buildings are now apart of the inn.
 This isn't the Prada I love, but I had to take a picture anyway!
 Beautiful United Methodist Church in Edgartown, when we visited once in December we went to see the Minnie Singers Christmas concert.
Walking out to the Edgartown Light, so pretty and we were the only one's out there. 

It's a short light house but is very pretty.

Self portraits.
 
Beautiful Panorama.

I include Shopping as apart of my 'Sights', great cheap accessories from Shelia Allen Styles (Google Maps, MV Blogger's Post), nothing over $25, sadly they weren't open again to branch out into more neutral colors =(

I was soo sad that In The Pink was closed for the season, they are the only VIA store on MV.

Vineyard Vines love, they were probably the only store on the island that had NO sale stuff, which was a bummer, everywhere else was just about 40% off at least some stuff.
I lucked out at Island Outfitters and got black on black Stephen Bonanno for 40% $98, for next year.

Pretty Streets.

Me and Captain Hook, Scarecrows were sponsored by local businesses and students of the MV Charter School and were all over the Island. I wanted to get my picture with all of them, but there were way to many. 

With Heidi

He was pretty cool too.
 
Beautiful Delilahs. LOVE.

 Andrew, kindly holding my purse and Edgartown.
 The Lighthouse we visited earlier.

Looking up the docks from the pavilion. 
Awesome giant pagoda tree planted in the 1800s right near the Inn. 
 Our street for the week.
 Our cute little room on the third floor over looking the street.
 
 The bed was soo high I almost needed a boost.
 It was small but worked. It was so great being downtown, since we had a fridge we could pop up and grab a  soda for our many walks around town.

Edgartown Eats, coming up next =)

As a graduation present from a close family friend I was given a week at the Harbor Side Inn in Edgartown on Martha's Vineyard. I was beyond ecstatic of course and completely blown away.
We got super lucky and Southwest had $49 flights into Providence, Rhode Island when we needed them. To use the flights we ended up going Saturday-Saturday vs. the Sunday-Sunday hotel was so for. This extra day let us spend a night in Newport which was great since I hadn't been there since '03 (I think).
We arrived in Providence around 12 got the car and headed to Newport about 30 minutes away.
Steps for enjoying Newport
 1. Sample Local Brew - Newport Storm Rhode Island Blueberry at a cool place
2. Eat a massive Fish sandwich within site of the water it came from. (Oh Tennessee and your landlocked-ness you've made me a seafood crazy lady.) This beauty  is from Buskers.
3. With a stuffed belly check into cute Inn found on TripAdvisor located next to yummy lunch spot.
All the rooms have different decor. Our's was the dizzy toile room with not toile headboard
The place was called America's Cup Inn and it was cross between a B&B and an independent hotel, but what was really great was the location, we were able to pop back to the room between our walking outings.
4. Walk around the entire town talking, shopping, etc. Run into a Segway tour holding up traffic. Laugh-point-take photo. (Even better I looked up the tour site, the tour is $99 and you have to have a driver's license etc., lmao).
5. Watch mediocre cover band play that night at One Pelham East.
6. Ditch bad band and walk around some more, then spend 30 minute eating your monster Chocolate Fudge ice cream cone from Kilwins. Have BF make fun of you... in a loving manner
7. Finally get hungry again, realize it's now almost 11 hmmm. Go back to room to find "Newport late night eats", find award winning Nikolas Pizza, rejoice. Set out to walk there. Enjoy what Andrew calls the "Best Pizza he's ever tasted." Realize next trip needs to be NYC or Chicago. 
8. Walk some more.
9. Sleep.
10. Visit inn "breakfast" and check out.
11. Get A some 'real coffee' (He has a serious addiction). Go to Coffee Grinder right on the end of the wharf complete with owner who sounded just like Rachel Ray and even talked about quiche.
12. Walk around some more in pursuit of forgotten sunglasses. Score buy 2 get one free cheapies. Two Not-Wayfarers for A. Hot pink hate blockers for me.
 13. Go to lunch on a wharf at Diegos which I found Restaurant.com. Use $10 off gift certificate I paid $0.80 for.
14. Swoon over how amazing your fish tacos are. Eat them all!!
15. Head to tour the Breakers Mansion full of fish! The Breakers was built by Cornelius Vanderbilt in just two years during the Guilded Age.
16. Realize the genius of self guided audio tours and how they drastically reduce the effect of annoying people while touring.  If you're in Newport you must at least visit the Breakers, I wish we had time for the other mansions as well. (No photos inside, but lots are on this site www.NewportMansions.com).
17. Locate a Target and DSW (Silly A didn't bring sneakers!) on the way to the ferry.
18. Leave Newport =(
