There are also great eat-in dining options. Beach Plum Inn and Restaurant has delicious food and a beautiful view as well. It's a great restaurant, and it's also just a beautiful place to go to sit and eat. There's another place, called Mediterranean, in Vineyard Haven that we really like. It's right by the Martha's Vineyard Times office, which is the cool local paper. When you go there, always pick up a copy of the Martha's Vineyard Times, because it tells you everything that is going on that week and the restaurants and the libraries that are open. So we always have one of those handy.
And the best meal of all? That's the one with family, Russell says. My favorite thing to do on the island is to pick up really fresh fish at the Net Result. We take the fish to Shane's mom. She's an excellent cook. Shane's family is one of the year-round families there. In the summer, there can be 75,000 people on the island, but the year-round population is only about 15,000 people.

Oh, one more food thing. Russell says that you can't drive to Martha's Vineyard just for Portuguese pork products, although some people would like to do that. We got back to New York after being on the Vineyard for the summer, and one morning, Shane woke up and said, "I want the breakfast sandwich at the Scottish Bakehouse." I said, "We aren't driving to go get it. It's too far." He loves the Scottish Bakehouse. His favorite breakfast sandwich has linguica on it, which is a Portuguese sausage. There's a big Portuguese population on the island.
