My mom's personal pick for best New England Clam Chowder, and I have to agree. The place is a little stand on the harbor, where you can order the food in the front, and either get it for takeout, or eat it in the back on a little deck without windows that overlooks the picturesque fishing town that is Menemsha.

If you are on Marthas Vineyard in the summer, or the months around summer (They are not open in the winter for Fish and Chips) and want some really good high quality Fish & Chips you are doing yourselves a disfavor if you don't try this place out. On my recent trip to Marthas Vineyard with my girlfriend Kelly, we went here to have lunch as our first meal on our first full day on the island. And I was not disappointed nor was my girlfriend. This is top quality food. Sure you eat on picnic benches in the parking lot with plastic utensils, but this is about great food and not ambiance. And while you are there marvel over the fact that this is the only fish store I have ever been in that literally does not smell at all, in fact it smells great. Where is the fish smell? How do they do it? Honestly I have no idea, and I don't care. Honestly I will dream of this place until I have it again while I dream of Marthas Vineyard from out in Los Angeles.

My mother painted a mural so that she could get a friend of hers' guest house in West Tisbury, MA right on the Great Pond, and my girlfriend Kelly and I took a whole week vacation there. Of course going there is always a long trip, a 6 hour flight an hour and a half bus ride and a 45 minute ferry ride, but the ferry ride has one really nice little bonus. It has a snack bar, and one incredible food item in that snack bar, it's qouhog chowder (that's Clam Chowder) and it is pretty damn good.

This is a pretty inexpensive wine that is incredibly tasty, with a crisp fruity flavor. I never really liked Sauvignon Blanc until I had this wine, and now I am a total fan.

I have eaten here before and though it was alright, though I must say this time I was very unimpressed. My girlfriend insists the pizza was excellent, and honestly I did not try the beer, but the only thing that was impressive was the desert.

I went again for my friend German's birthday, and enjoyed it a bit more. This time I had a calzone, and some beer, and we have the pizza sized Pizooki. Damn that thing is evil!!!
