Our visit to Fifty-Six Union left us feeling not only fully satisfied, but fully
comfortable with once again dining out of the house. Every precaution is taken
without sacrificing a single thing we’ve grown to love about this dining destination.
Call today to make Fifty-Six part of your island summer.
Dining out is different this summer season. On Nantucket, the town, restaurant owners, and their neighbors have gone above and beyond to accommodate outdoor dining in spaces that in the past would be impossible. Still impossible for some, island restaurants with no outdoor spaces are working creatively to distance indoor tables and to offer meals to go. As people who love to go out to eat, we see all this as the opportunity to enjoy culinary delights from our favorite restaurants at our favorite island places.
When it comes to finding food in downtown Nantucket, there are lots of great places to choose from. For us, outdoor dining is always ideal, and with more options than ever this summer, we’re starting to see a silver lining in everything we’ve been through. However, not all porches and patios are created equal. There is just one that comes complete with harbor views, sea breeze, spacious seating, and fast, friendly, family fun. There’s nothing on island like our own harborside oasis at Easy Street Cantina.

by Carl Oscar Olson Compared to the world outside, Nantucket has a way of moving slower through time. Change does visit here on occasion; it meanders when it does. Moseying down the dunes and over the cobblestones like a shadow, unnoticed. And sometimes when we finally look up to see, …
by Carl Oscar Olson We all fall into routines. The things we like, the things we’re used to, and the things that are convenient can limit our horizons and leave us missing some of the best life, and Nantucket, have to offer. It’s important to keep things fresh, to keep …
by Jenny Benzie, Advanced Sommelier of Épernay One of the amazing things about being on Nantucket is that having a lunch date as a party of one is sometimes just what you need. For those of you who are working all summer long, it is nice to just grab a …
