The Vineyard: Part I

July 25, 2005 at 9:27 AM | by | Comments (0)

The NY Times reported from Martha's Vineyard on Friday with some great obvious ways to avoid the tourist traps. Don't even think about a Black Dog t-shirt, it's been done about a hundred times too many and will give you and every touring Harley rider way too much in common.

The Times' tips include hitting up the Black Dog Cafe (where you can grab a sandwich for a reasonable $5-$7), stopping at the country's oldest operating merry-go-round in Oak Bluffs, and pre-ordering your dinner lobster (and not fogetting to BYOB) in dry fishing town Menemsha.

For where to stay they recommend the Menemsha Inn & Cottages (North Road, Menemsha; 508-645-2521) $240 to $575 a night during the summer, The Harbor View Hotel (131 North Water Street, Edgartown; 508-627-7000) $330 to $950(!) in summer, and The Island Inn (Beach Road, Oak Bluffs; 508-693-2002) with rates from $190 to $375.

Some solid suggestions...although stay tuned for a little bit more unknown (& way cheaper) look at the famed island.
