Try lunch at Lynn's Paradise Cafe. It's whimsy like you've never quite seen. I'd liken it to the Bubble Room in Sanibel Island, Florida. And the food is good, too.

I'm telling you, when you are in Lexington you want to have a steak at Malone's. No other words explain it. Just do it.

Wait! Stop! Don't get on that taxi. You can buy a bus pass for $7 per person and hop on and off the bus all you want all day long. It's a tourist destination, so they are very happy to stop the bus where you want to get off, and to pull over if you flag them down. You can do the Island awfully well on just a bus pass.

Mopeds were $80 per day. I declined. You could rent a car for less than that. I've had a car on the Vineyard on previous trips. That's fine. But you can get by with just the bus. And, on the bus, you get to visit with a number of interesting people and pet some nice dogs (everybody brings their dog to the Vineyard for Holiday weekends---who knew it was a holiday weekend? I didn't.)

Two great dining experiences today on the Vinyard.

Vinyard Haven

Climb the stairs to the top of Nancy's and sit outside if the weather permits. The Fish and Chips were delicious! Not too greasy. Two pieces of fish. Just right to share. Good fries (why do they call them chips?). It was very tasty, and I'm not a heavy fried fish guy. But it was very good.

Edgartown

Have dinner at the Atlantic restaurant. It fills up and the wait is long, so go early, or make reservations. The food is very good. I'm pretty picky about restaurants and don't classify them as anything special if they aren't. But this was a good place that I'd go again if I were here for another evening meal.

Last night we ate at the Seafood Shanty. A typical seafood restaurant. Nothing real special here. It wouldn't be at the top of my list.
