Happy Winter Weekend, MV!
This is the first Saturday in a while that we’re seeing the island busy with events!
⏱️ This Week on MVacay
One thing about me… I’m not gunna gatekeep. And honestly, in past years I felt discouraged to see that most internships were filled by a small group of candidates. I hope that this post will attract a more diverse applicant pool and lead to opportunities for additional perspectives to visit MV this summer. Share it with a student you know:
🗺️ What To Do This Weekend
⭐ MVacay Picks
Eat At: Have you been to the newly managed First Light Cafe at MV Museum? Gina Stanley from Art Cliff is managing the space and they have incredibly reasonably priced and delicious cafe choices each day. You don’t need to pay admission to the museum to eat there, and it’s got a great view!
Go To: This one is for the Parents - Fun Fact - the Edgartown Fire Station has a museum! It’s only open by appointment in the winter, but I’m sure with some arranging you can find a time to go check it out with your kiddos.
Try: Book yourself a massage this week! This wellness roundup lists all the providers on the island in one place.
