house, and guesthouse of a cozy estate that dates back to
1790. The on-site restaurant offers some of the best dining
on the island. Surfside Motel, moderate, (508) 693-2500,

Bargain accommodations aren't exactly easy to come by on the
Vineyard, which is why we appreciate the Surfside. For less
than many other places, you get a nice, clean room, and the
waterfront locale is just steps from the ferry, Flying Horses
Carousel, and other Oak Bluffs establishments.
DINING
Atria, expensive, (508) 627-5850, www.atriamv.com. Wine Spectator
praised this elegant eatery, saying it has "one of the most
outstanding restaurant wine lists in the world." The food isn't
bad, either, thanks to chef/owner Christian Thornton's globally
inspired menu of steamed dumplings with tomato-ginger chutney,
braised pork belly with petite French lentils, and the like.
Menemsha Fish Market, inexpensive, (508) 645-2282, www.menemshafishmarket.com.
This seaside market, which has been shelling out everything from
tuna to tilapia since 1946, also serves heaping hot bowls of some
of the best lobster bisque you've ever tasted.
