Featured Restaurants
29 Fair Street – Fine Dining on Fair Street
There are several restaurants on Nantucket Island that are located in historic buildings, but none can match the history of 29 Fair and few can match their cuisine. Built as a private home in 1709, the wide plank floorboards, slightly uneven from age, and dark wood paneling remain throughout the […]
Kitty Murtagh’s – A Modern Twist on Irish Classics
~ by C. Oscar Olson ~ This was not our first trip to Kitty’s. That being said, we are certain that luck has nothing to do with the authentic experience and excellent service the owners and staff strive to provide. Located off the beaten path and the hustle and bustle […]
Toast Summer Solstice at the Beach – The Jetties Beach Bar & Restaurant
Through fall, winter, and spring, we waited and we dreamed. We waited for the days to grow longer and for the cold winds to change to soft sea breezes. We dreamed of spending afternoons at the beach, basking in the summer sunshine and listing to the soothing rhythm of the […]

The Brotherhood of Thieves Upstairs or Down, Inside or Out, the Food Here is Terrific
September is the month that island residents like to think of as their reward for the long, hard work they did all summer. Days are still warm and nights are pleasantly cool; the water is perfect for swimming; and it’s the ideal time to gather the friends you haven’t seen […]
Where to Start Your Day on Nantucket
Early morning on Nantucket offers special pleasures: the charm of Main Street without cars, a walk along the wharves while it’s quiet enough to hear the water lapping against the yachts, coffee and croissant at Brant Point Lighthouse while the sun rises over the Harbor, beachcombing along Sconset Beach before […]
