🗺️ What To Do This Weekend
⭐ MVacay Picks
Eat At: Sweet Life Cafe does half-off food from 5:30-6p at the bar Thurs-Sun. Their bay scallop gnocchi was by far the best meal I had during December.
Go to: My mom’s new favorite store on the island is Tending Joy in West Tisbury. They offer a mix of local and fair trade artisan goods, don’t miss it between the Glass Works and North Road. Usually open weekends 11a-4p.
Try: Did you know there is a mobile sauna on MV? Schvitzy offers a way to warm up!
