When we asked dozens of friends to describe their perfect Martha’s Vineyard day, we got enthusiastic answers ranging from “Art Cliff for breakfast….followed by crab fishing with my son at Owen Park” to “morning tennis at Farm Neck, followed by Eggs Benedict and Bloody Marys” to “watch the sun go down behind the west end of Squibnocket Pond.”
Though there as many versions of Vineyard perfection as there are Vineyarders, there were some places and experiences beloved by many: clams at Giordano’s in Oak Bluffs, anything from the Scottish Bake House; bike (or car, with the top down) rides along Middle Road; long walks on longer beaches, and dinner with friends while watching the sun set (followed by the inevitable applause) at Menemsha town beach.
