A Ride Down Memory Lane

by Catherine Macallister “I never thought I’d ever go down Polpis again.” This one phrase captures the meaning behind a local organization that makes it possible for non-ambulatory residents of Our Island Home to enjoy the more than 30 miles of bike paths on Nantucket. The organization is Nantucket Wheelers and since 2007 they have been bridging the restrictions of traditional biking experiences, allowing for any rider to get out and enjoy the fresh summer air.

Darcy Creech Marelli, the owner of Peter Beaton Hat Studio and founder of Nantucket Wheelers, has partnered with sponsors across the island to make sure that all citizens, especially those who are non-ambulatory, are able to enjoy the bike paths of Nantucket through recreational therapy. In 2007, Nantucket Wheelers raised “35 K in 35 Days,” enough to purchase three Duets, tandem style, battery assisted bikes with a detachable wheelchair. The wheelchair-bicycle hybrid allows for a volunteer and a companion to take to the bike paths and experience the outdoors.

When the program first began, Marelli’s concept was promoting “a social outing,” and over the years it has continued to evolve. You will now see residents out and about enjoying an ice cream cone at Surfside Beach Shack or headed to Moore’s End Farm to pick out fresh vegetables and fruit. “They have a shared experience,” says Marelli, referring to the connections that the residents of Our Island Home share with the volunteer riders as well as the group that is out for the ride that day. Additionally, there are opportunities for “community rides” in which other people outside of Our Island Home are able to utilize the bike to bring their friend or loved one on a ride along one of the bike path. The program has also welcomed groups from Camp Tulgeywood and Adam’s Camp, each offering summer programs on Nantucket

WHT Gives Talented Youth Stage Experience

by Catherine Macallister “I dreamed last night that I sang my epilogue� Catherine Borthwick, a former performer in the White Heron Student Theatre Company, told the creative team after the opening night of their 2017 performance of The Tempest. Although the production had already opened, the WHT’s artistic and musical teams collaborated with Borthwick to bring her dream to life and set the epilogue to music. This kind of collaboration can be seen time and again whenever the White Heron Student Company takes the stage, performing Shakespeare and musical Mixtape shows, showcasing the abilities of the students and the educational, artistic, and musical teams that encourage them to thrive.

The White Heron Theatre Company is well known on-island for its professional performances presented year-round. Founded in 2004 in New York City and “reborn on Nantucket� in 2012, White Heron has been a staple in the theater community. This dynamic company is currently in its third summer of offering their Student Company, a competitive program that gives kids ages 13 to 18 the chance to experience and perform in a professional setting.

Tiffany Gallo founded the Student Company in 2016, and her background in performance and arts management made her the perfect person to help realize the vision of the Student Company within The White Heron Theatre. “She came ready with a plan laid out� says Creative Director for Educational Programming Jimmy Calitri, who was brought on by Gallo after she founded the Student Company. Together, this dynamic duo has worked with Lynne Bolton, White Heron Theatre’s artistic director, and Michael Kopko, White continued on page 14

Yesterday’s Island/Today’s Nantucket

The Two of Them

by Robert P. Barsanti The grandson’s plane left at three. They had waited with the young man at the airport, whiling away a couple more hours as the airline people shrugged and smiled. The air conditioners were buzzing away, and neither of them had been inside the terminal in ten years. The grandson, now 25, checked his phone, made calls, tried to make connections.

She wandered through the airport shop, shopping for nothing, but keeping her eye open for anything. He just stayed on the bench, watching the fog roll over the runway. There was nothing to be done. You were a number in a math problem where the answer was Houston. You couldn’t change the problem. By two-thirty, the sun poked through and by three, his plane had taken off over Nobadeer.

His wife had watched him. Not studying, not examining, but with an occasional glance of reassurance. She was taking attendance. The Reds he liked to wear on-island, sneakers, a thrift shop special shirt, and a bucket hat.

It had been sixty years. Most of which had been spent watching him slip into or out of one uniform or another: a navy uniform, a scientist’s white coat, and then suit after suit after suit. They were gone now, like tears in the rain.

Her husband retired from the office with champagne, a letter, and a cardboard box. For two years, the suits hung for some consulting, some conferences, and then they were all gone, but one.

All along, his wife knew that he was this ragamuffin under it all. His underwear had worn out a year ago, his shirts were clean but threadbare, and the pants...he had collected almost eight pairs of Reds along the spectrum from brick red to white. When he walked, he held up his belt. On the bench, he scratched at the crossword puzzle and waited for his wife to finish shopping.

Her husband was also keeping tabs. She had remained the same size for almost sixty years, barely five feet tall. Today, she wore white slacks and a candy apple red blouse with a matching hat. He appreciated the hat; he could find her at a glance. His wife was a sharp dresser. She wore bright colors and whites, with scarves and makeup and jewelry. Everyday, his wife walked out the door expecting to be photographed.

The grandson hadn’t been to the island in fifteen years. Remarriage had taken their daughter to Colorado and into a career of mathematics and building projects and airline miles. They could visit, of course, and often did for weeks at a time. She had talked of a condo in Boulder, but nothing had come of it. At that time, the boy had been fifteen. His step-father was taking him into the mountains. Everything that they knew involved water and flat horizons. They didn’t belong in a circumscribed world.

But there had been an island time. An unspoken understanding had developed around the unravelling marriage and the spinning young man fifteen years ago. They would take care of him. For a few summers, he came to the island and there were boogie boards and sailing lessons and a swingset in the backyard. Still, today, the swings sagged, the sunfish remained suspended in the garage, and the beach gear faded in the corner.

After all, what was the house for?

They had soared on the wings of luck. When they bought the house, after a Christmas bonus before the dot com bubble, they picked a cape on a crest continued on page 23

Handmade & One-of-a-Kind Looking for a very special jewelry piece that is locally made and inspired? check out Jessica Hicks at 2 Union Street. Her collections of cast shells, gemstones, and precious metals offer pieces for all occasions: every day wear to special events. With over 30 years of experience, Jessica Hicks’ jewelry has been an island must-have since she first began making jewelry here in 1997.

She is well-known for her Lorraine Collections that features signature drilled holes, making each piece of jewelry unique. Other summer favorites include the Tuckernuck Collection, crafted with shells from Tuckernuck Beach that have been cast in sterling silver or gold, and her new rainbow cuffs. This season, she has also been creating more single pieces: “I am more focused on one-of-a-kind pieces, I think my customers like knowing they are the only ones who have the piece.”

Jessica’s most popular item is her Perfect Couple Ring, featured in Elin Hilderbrand’s book, The Perfect Couple. “I’ve had many requests to make the ring for customers across the country,” says Hicks, “even in Canada!” Hilderbrand’s following combined with Hicks’ memorable work will have you placing an order for your own Perfect Couple Ring. “I am deeply honored that she [Elin] chooses to consistently wear and support my jewelry.”

For unforgettable and inspired jewelry collections, visit Jessica Hicks at 2 Union Street, where you will find her studio amidst an exciting and eclectic group of local artisans and shop owners. Her studio is open Monday-Saturday 11am-4pm and her jewelry collections are at jessicahicks.com.

Nantucket Sounds and Sunsets For the first time, Egan Maritime presents Nantucket Sounds, a series of sunset sails with special guest musicians aboard the historic privateer. This Friday, July 26, sail into the sunset with Egan Maritime and local musicians Susan Berman and Ray Saunders aboard the Tall Ship Lynx. The boat launch to Lynx departs at 5pm from Waypoint Marine, located on Straight Wharf next to Star’s Ice Cream. Patrons will return to the dock by approximately 8 pm.

Known for her eclectic mix of musical styles, local singer and songwriter Susan Berman, along with her partner Ray Saunders, will perform original songs and spirited sea shanties. Susan made a splash with her music in 2018 with her first solo album, Nantucket Girl. It is comprised of original songs inspired by the island’s rich maritime history.

Egan Maritime’s Executive Director Pauline Proch commented, “We are thrilled to have Susan and Ray aboard Lynx. Their songs and performance bring Nantucket’s vibrant and salty, maritime history and seafaring culture to life for an engaging and entertaining evening sail. Lynx provides the perfect stage for this program: the historic vessel enhances the enchanting songs and allows patrons to experience Nantucket as it once was.”

Sail into history while being entertained by seasoned performers and sensational musicians. In addition to the July 26 event, on August 16 American troubadour Bill Shustik is the featured performer for Nantucket Sounds, and on August 23, Susan Berman and Ray Saunders will again be featured. Patrons are encouraged to bring snacks and beverages to enjoy while under sail (BYOB). Tickets are $75 each: to purchase tickets for one of these evenings on the water, call 508-228-2505 or visit eganmaritime.org.

The mission of Egan Maritime Institute is to inspire the appreciation and preservation of the island’s maritime culture and seafaring legacy. They offer a splashy variety of family-friendly maritime education programs for all island visitors and residents. In 2019, Egan is celebrating 30 years of service on Nantucket. To learn more about the organization and the program offerings this season, visit eganmaritime.org.

Offering three dining areas, the original restaurant has a distinct ambiance - tavern style, that echoes the old New England whaling days. The Brotherhood is a favorite place for over four generations of Islanders! Our newly renovated patio is an oasis in the middle of town.

We use the freshest, natural, and New England sourced ingredients.

STYLE:

Timeless with a Twist

by Catherine Macallister Sara Campbell has only just opened for the day and there is already someone enjoying the white rocking chairs that are set outside the storefront. Dog treats and a doggie bowl complete the outside of the welcoming shop, making this the perfect place for customers and their four-legged friends to stop in for a new look. Sara Campbell Ltd. was founded in December of 1985 by CEO and designer Sara Campbell (cover photo), who has been creating gorgeous fashion pieces since a young age. As you shop the store, it becomes clear that classic apparel staples have been given new life, making them a perfect fit for a modern wardrobe. Once you’ve visited the Nantucket shop on South Beach Street, it will become a destination for all your future island visits.

When you walk into the shop, you will be swept up in colors, patterns, and styles that are bright and beautiful yet still classic. Ginghams, bright pinks, and other summery patterns and colors can be found in abundance.

Dresses with necklines like those of Audrey Hepburn that have been re-imagined by Sara Campbell, will catch your eye and immediately make it onto you “must have” list, proving that this apparel is timeless. Whether you are looking for that perfect finishing touch to an ensemble or a complete wardrobe makeover, Sara Campbell has something for everyone of all ages.

The store on South Beach Street started as a pop-up shop but has grown over the years: the third in a fleet of stores that are now part of Sara Campbell Ltd. When you’re shopping at Sara Campbell, you will be treated to not only clothing, but also to unbeatable service as well.

that are able to utilize the Nantucket Wheelers bikes to transport participants in the camp. Groups of 3 or 4 bikes take to the paths Monday-Wednesday, fostering important relationships between volunteers and residents as well as important bonds between the residents themselves. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It brings back memories,â&#x20AC;? says Marelli, giving the opportunity for residents to actively participate in island life in a new way, and even run into former friends and acquaintances that they havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seen in years.

Marelli has helped to create a program that is beneficial to everyone, â&#x20AC;&#x153;it blesses the volunteers as much as it blesses the residentsâ&#x20AC;? she says of the program. She first felt the feeling of â&#x20AC;&#x153;this is the project youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been looking forâ&#x20AC;? after watching a video called â&#x20AC;&#x153;What is Love?â&#x20AC;? about a man who had a bike specially built so that he could take his wife, who was living with dementia, on a bike ride, a pastime that they used to enjoy before it became impossible for her to ride alone. After seeing the positive affects that this riding experience had on the husband-and-wife duo, Marelli acted quickly: speaking with the man from the video, researching bikes, and effectively raising the funds needed to make a program happen on Nantucket. In just six months or so, Marelli had her program, her sponsors, and three bikes to begin. The results have been tremendous, providing a connection to the outdoor world while also improving the overall mood of the residents through the positive interactions in this program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is so important,â&#x20AC;? says Marelli, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am glad to be able to provide that extra dimension.â&#x20AC;?

The hearts of this endeavor are the volunteers: â&#x20AC;&#x153;volunteers that are so passionate about the program,â&#x20AC;? says Marelli, also pointing out the generosity of the local businesses on the island. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This program is successful because of the people in the community, â&#x20AC;&#x153; she says, pointing to organizations and businesses like Don Allen, First Congregational Church of Nantucket, Surfside Beach Shack, and Nantucket Bike Shop, who help to defer any potential costs associated with the program. The church pays the insurance, Surfside Beach Shack covers any food charges, The Bike Shop provides labor for any fixing continued on page 13

or adjusting of the bikes, and Don Allen provides the storage and battery charging space on Polpis Road. Partnering with Our Island Home, the Nantucket Wheelers have coordinated getting residents to their station at Don Allen in order to get out on the road and begin their rides.

The Nantucket Wheelers is the type of “program that appeals to every kind of person” and is “inclusive to all groups. The hope is that this program will inspire a “multigenerational mindset and get us going in a positive direction,” says Marelli, speaking to the importance of making sure that older generations are as much a part of island life as any other demographic. “I think that this program has brought them out to the forefront” she says. While the program largely takes place in the later spring, summer, and early fall, many of the volunteers continue to impact Our Island Home residents “maintaining relationships through the year” through programs during the winter months. Nantucket Wheelers and its team help to foster relationships and make a difference yearround. The benefits of this type of recreational therapy extend beyond the ride itself: there is a hope that over time it improves appetite, sleep patterns, and in general affects the residents’ outlooks on life, creating an overall happier existence.

While it is in its 7th year, the impact of Nantucket Wheelers on continues to impact “Nantucket 4th Quartarians” in many positive ways. Through their connections to Camp Tulgeywood and Adam’s Camp, they are able to reach even more community members and help to foster summer fun on the bike paths of Nantucket. To volunteer with Nantucket Wheelers as a rider or as a substitute rider, visit nantucketwheelers.org where you will be directed to fill out paperwork and sign up for training sessions. Rides currently occur Monday-Wednesday with community rider spots available on select days. There is also details on how to donate at nantucketwheelers.org.

serving DAILY FROM 11:30AM

Heron Theatre’s executive director, to put together a student program that immerses students in what it means to be a professional actor: an experience that the “kids rise to” says Gallo.

The company seeks talented and committed youth who must go through a multi-step application process to be considered for the program. Ultimately the goal of the program is to provide “an artistic home” says Calitri. While the program typically accepts photos courtesy White Heron Theatre ages 13-18, they have had exceptional students as young as 8-years-old participate in the program. Kids are chosen “not on age, but if you’re ready for it” says Gallo, pointing out the qualities they look for in candidates who are: “mature, well-spoken, and passionate.” Additionally, the company is made up of both year-round students and those visiting the island, it is a home to everyone. While there is a tuition for the 20 or so students who are chosen to be part of the summer program, they have “never had to turn away a student away for financial reasons,” an incredibly important aspect of this program that allows it to be accessible to all who qualify.

Students have the chance to audition for one or both productions: a Shakespeare show and a musical theatre driven piece called “Mixtape.” For many this is advanced training or college preparation, as they learn to study and understand Shakespeare—a key component in any actor’s repertoire— or help to put together the themed Mixtape that encourages students to dig deep and find nuances in songs that bring real world issues to light.

students focus on one company, but many participate in both.

The caliber of this program is reflected in the work the students must do: they prepare for their roles before the program begins on July 1 so they can “hit the ground running” says Calitri. Beyond the shows, the students can also participate in workshops and learn about other aspects of the theater: lighting design, set design, the process of applying to schools. Students also meet and work with the Equity actors who are in the White Heron Theatre Company, participating in talkbacks or grabbing lunch together at the Hungry Minnow. Last year, students had the chance to meet with Celia Keenan-Bolger, who was “great with kids,” says Calitri. Keenan-Bolger won a Tony Award this year for her role in To Kill a Mockingbird, which is “not to say it’s about status or being high end, but about the quality” says Calitri, noting the importance of the students being able to see where they could be someday and some of the steps it might take to get there. For many students, both in the program and alumni, there is opportunity for everything to come full circle.

From alumni coming back to share their experience as set designers to WHT offering internships and jobs to those who return to Nantucket in the summer, White Heron has made their theatre a home.

Jimmy Calitri, members of the WHT creative and musical teams and their production assistants help to bring this program to life every summer. This summer Caprial Harris is the assistant director and assistant choreographer for the 2019 program and reflects on the students saying â&#x20AC;&#x153;the program helps them growâ&#x20AC;? and for many itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ultimately â&#x20AC;&#x153;college preparationâ&#x20AC;? for those that wish to continue their pursuit of the arts. Chelsea Cook is the choreographer and co-director of Mixtape, photo courtesy White Heron Theatre Joe Short is a co-director with Jimmy and Ed and Dan Barton make up the musical team. Additionally, Jordan Delphos from the Nantucket Music Center, has been â&#x20AC;&#x153;coming in every yearâ&#x20AC;Śplaying violin or bringing in a mini-student orchestraâ&#x20AC;? says Calitri noting that the â&#x20AC;&#x153;live musician element has been very importantâ&#x20AC;? to the process. Together this team has come together to create new music for the Shakespeare shows, last year adapting A Midsummerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Night Dream to be set in the 1980s with music featuring synthesizers and style of popular â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;80s music. What sets this theatre apart is that â&#x20AC;&#x153;White Heron does original work,â&#x20AC;? says Calitri, allowing for adaptations to be done and new work to be created and performed.

The journey of the Student Company has only just begun and when asked about where the program will grow, Gallo responds, â&#x20AC;&#x153;You grow with them.

Where are they going to take us?â&#x20AC;? This program is a testament to the importance of keeping the arts alive in younger generations and the hard work and artistry that comes from a team that cares deeply about fostering a collaborative learning environment for students.

This season Student Company will be appearing in two shows:an abridged version of William Shakespeareâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Twelfth Night opens this Monday, July 29, and continues through August 2, and Mixtape: Volume 3, running August 13-17.

of a hill on the â&#x20AC;&#x153;rightâ&#x20AC;? side of Tom Nevers. In that first summer, the night had stars, Sconset, and Sankaty. Over the years, other houses filled in the dark, but those years faded to black on most nights. It had always been a summer house; it had never become an investment or a rental property. The doors didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t close in the heat and the electric register smelled in the cold. They kept leaving later and later in the fall.

For a while, the guests had been incessant. Brothers and sisters came, with nieces and nephews, and everyone packed into the Explorer and rolled off to Madequecham or Nobadeer. Friends, colleagues, and neighbors, happy to be free of the mainland heat, got picked up at the boat, saw the island for a few days, and took the two of them out to the Languedoc. On some summers, the guests only slowed down into September. Looking back, it had been great fun. Then it slowly ended in ebb and flow of the years.

The grandson had been the first guest in years, and they squired him around. You only rediscover your favorite places when you show them to someone else. Otherwise, they sit in the forgotten familiar. So, they went back to Madequecham, without the boogie boards but with the old chairs.

They went to the Sconset Market for ice cream after a striped bass dinner on the porch. An afternoon at the Whaling Museum, a morning at Greater Light, and an early evening looking for earrings. She held her tongue and asked no questions.

They had no expectations of the grandson. Time had washed that pressure away. He wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tell them about the coworkers getting 888 Blueberry Vodka, about their daughter getting a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Juice Barâ&#x20AC;? Tee shirt, about the lady who would get new earrings. They did not mention the past, nor did they pluck it from the sand when it arose. He kept his own counsel. Somewhere in his mind, cobblestones and gray shingles were matching up to the sumptuous air-conditioned suburbia of Houston. They did not ask if he would be back. But they thought it.

On the last night, they had stopped at the Chicken Box early. They had never taken their young grandson here in his first iteration, and may not have taken him now, but for the band. The Savage Brothers, complete with horns, began their first set while the retirees were still awake and could dance to Motown and swing. So they danced as they always had, fox trotting, swirling, and moving through a sparse floor. The bartenders and bouncers watched, unnoticed by the two.

At sixty years of marriage, they no longer noticed. They didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t notice other people, they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t notice other places, they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t notice money or respect or the special linen napkins they gave you at the club. They only saw each other. Each was sufficient and complete. Time had worn it all away, until each other remained.

When they left the airport, they drove back to Tom Nevers in the intermittent light, alone on the road, and together.

The managers and associates of Sara Campbell are invested in the product and the team, with Tralka commenting on the “camaraderie with other stores” and that she “loves wearing the clothing!”

When looking over the wide array of options available to you in the Nantucket shop, a few suggestions can definitely go along, something that Mary Ann and her associates are able to provide right away. Mary Ann loves pieces like the Ruana Poncho, “it’s like a uniform on Nantucket” she says, “you don’t go out without it,” referring to the versatility of the cashmere ponchos that add perfect polish to evening attire on a chilly night. The Sheri Pant is another popular, year round item: “I think my record is 14 pairs in one visit,” remarks Tralka, a truly popular pant indeed! Sara’s Magic Dress, known for its well-placed and flattering ruching, “looks fabulous on everyone” and is another classic piece in the collection, made for all shapes and sizes.

Nantucket’s Ban on Cars

In April of 1918, Nantucketers were hotly debating whether or not to lift the island’s ban on automobiles. Summer residents were eager to bring their cars to the island, but locals were skeptical about the idea.

On April 6 1918, an opinion piece appeared in the Inquirer & Mirror signed “Old Fogey.” The author argued against the ban, remembering how Nantucketers had hated the idea of building a railroad. Now, the author noted, the locals were sorry to see it gone (the railroad had lasted from 1881 to 1917).

“Probably,” he or she wrote, allowing cars on the island “will prove a blessing like the rest of the things we bucked against. I’m against it just the same from force of habit, for I’ve been against everything else that spells progress and guess this is about the last chance I’ll have to kick, for my kicking days are almost over.” Three weeks later, on April 24, the ban was lifted.

This photo is circa 1925, when cars were becoming a more common sighting on island. It is a gift of Jean Louise Allen, granddaughter of Walter Coffin to the NHA.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every Voice Countsâ&#x20AC;? in TWN Show for Kids In addition to one of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most popular musicals, Grease (running at Bennett Hall until August 24), Theatre Workshop of Nantucket is also producing Seussical the Musical this summer. This fun, vibrant, family-friendly production is based on the works of genius childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s author Theodor Seuss Geisel, known as Dr. Seuss. The musical follows the story of Horton the Elephant who finds a dust speck that is home to a town of very tiny people called Whos. Horton does his best to protect the Whos, and this upbeat and colorful show tells a heartfelt tale of standing up for oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beliefs and standing up for and protecting others, especially the most vulnerable among us.

The musical brings to life some of Seussâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; most beloved characters including Horton the Elephant, The Cat in the Hat, Gertrude MsFuzz, Amazing Mayzie, and JoJo, a little girl with a big imagination who believes in Horton as he believes in the Whos.

Directed and choreographed by Hannah-Jo Weisberg, with musical direction by Nick Wilders, Seussical is a professional production created for children and families. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve wanted to do a show like this for many years, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m thrilled that we are able to offer this high quality, professional theatre experience for kids this season,â&#x20AC;? said Theatre Workshopâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Artistic Director, Justin Cerne.

The stellar cast of Grease will be doing double duty this summer, doing Grease in the evenings and Seussical in the mornings and afternoons. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have these amazingly talented actors here for the summer already, and using them in a show for families seemed like a great way to do what we do which is, create high quality theatre, for a different segment of the community that we havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really reached before,â&#x20AC;? said Cerne.

All tickets for Seussical the Musical performances are just $15. Performances begin this Saturday, July 23 and continue through August 10, with curtain times at 10:30 am on Tuesdays and Thursdays and at 1 pm on Saturdays.

Tickets may be purchased at theatrenantucket.org or by calling the box office at 508-228-4305.

Featured Restaurant: Saltbox Tavern + Table So Many Reasons to Go to The Saltbox

by Carl Oscar Olson Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always a good idea to trust the locals. The hardworking people who see all seasons on this island and know its secrets, from the best beaches and fishing spots, shortcuts and scenic drives, to the best places to eat. The locals on Nantucket know where to go, and they go to Saltbox Tavern and Table.

It was the end of an unusually hot day during a very hot week, and we were immediately relieved walking through the air conditioned dining room. We stepped outside again and braced for a blast of heat, but on their spacious and shaded back patio the sultriness was blown away by beautiful breezes, the green grass and high hedges made Old South Road disappear. The many tables and high-tops were filled with smiling diners, kids ran and played in the open space beyond the bushes. The full outdoor bar was bustling and we were excited to join the fun.

Finally feeling relaxed, we started our Saturday night with a few favorite drinks (cover photo). With a lengthy list of canned, draft, and bottled brews, a hand-picked wine list, and cool craft cocktails, Saltbox is the place to get refreshed.

A soft, sweet, and satisfying White Sangria is served on the rocks in a tall glass. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy going with the essence of elderflower.

For those who like it hot, The Mother of Dragons combines ghost pepper tequila with fresh watermelon and lime, bringing out a savory side of the summertime staple.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pork Belly sweet up front with a

satisfying sizzle going down. A delightfully dry Froze was our favorite, slushy and smooth and terrifically tempting. It was just one of their many frozen drink options; the absolute best for chilling out and cooling off.

Inside the restaurant, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find fun, contemporary decor and plenty of room for your friends. We love sitting at their spacious bar indoors, but will take any chance we can get to dine and drink outdoors.

The menu at Saltbox is bountiful and eclectic without being overwhelming. Enjoy the best of your favorite bar snacks along with refined salads and seafood options, then for dinner dine on anything from a superb sandwich, steak, or scampi. There simply is something for everyone.

Our first starter selection paired sweet, firm watermelon with soft, salty Poâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Boy feta. The Watermelon Salad (cover photo) is refreshing, fun, and drizzled with bright balsamic. A bed of peppery arugula fills it out, and it was the best beginning to our meal.

Fun and fabulously fatty, the Pork Belly is a finger food favorite. With a soy chili glaze thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spicy and sweet, every morsel was savory, succulent, and crispy all at once.

Order the Fish Tacos (cover photo) for a perfect pair featuring the fresh catch of the dayâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; we lucked out with grilled salmon.

Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a cilantro lovers dream with plenty of guacamole and potent pickled veggies.

was the cool, creamy contrast of goat cheese against the Stuffed Portabella.

The mushroom cap is piled high with arugula, tomatoes, onion, peas, and garlic packing plenty of flavor with no need for meat. We love being surprised by vegetarian options, and this are one we’d come back for.

The music blended beautifully into the background and sounded so good it didn’t seem live. But it was—just another reason to grab a seat and join the fun. On Saturday nights, local favorite Brian Glowacki covers the classics from yesterday and today, mixing in some comedy between tunes. The restaurant is always on the hunt for new talent to entertain on weekends, so if you think you have what it takes, drop them a line.

Crusty and soft and piled high with fried clams, the Po’ Boy would make a meal any time of day. Take your pick from scallops, shrimp, or clams and rave on about this mouth-watering remoulade, red onions, and ripe tomatoes.

will notice if you lick the plate.

You can’t go wrong with a Burger, especially with it’s a half pound of prime beef on a buttery stout bun with all the fixings.

It’s flame kissed and so juicy with cool shredded lettuce, onion, tomato and Seared Scallops and Linguini pickles with melty American cheese. Golden brown French fries make for the perfect pair—we recommend getting them truffled for that little something extra.

We don’t usually like making special, limited menu items our favorites but the Seared Scallops and Linguini were too good to ignore. Five plump sea scallops sat atop a bed of linguini laced with tomato, onion, garlic, arugula, and a touch of truffle. Crushed red pepper brings the heat to meet the sweet, soft scallops. Everything was cooked to perfection and a squeeze of lemon brought a brighter level of flavor.

Saltbox is one of the few island establishment to offer Buck-a-Shuck. A generous offering of all your favorite shellfish happens every single day from 4 to 6 pm, so come down to Saltbox and get while the getting’s good.

The sun had gone down and night was taking over, but the party was just getting started. Brian Glowacki played on, taking requests from patrons whether or not he knew how to play them. Delicious smells and lots of laughter filled the air. We were ready for dessert.

A divinely dense Dulce de Leche Cheesecake swirled with flavors of sweet cream and burnt sugar. A raspberry coulis softened the tart edge of the refreshing Key Lime Tart. Our favorite, the Lemon Cream Cake, was awesomely airy and bright, served on a blackberry sauce heightened with the tingle of fresh mint.

With a convenient location near the airport, bike paths, and WAVE bus stops, it’s never been easier to get to 7 Macy’s Lane. Beat the crowds and blend in with the locals at Saltbox Tavern and Table. There are so many reasons to go.

Saltbox Tavern & Table

Hanger Steak

There was no hiding the marvelous medium-rare on the sliced Hanger Steak. It was savory and sublime, served with mashed potatoes, sliced carrots, and string beans all soaking in a signature Saltbox steak sauce. No one

At the beachfront, watch for horseshoe crabs advancing in extremely slow motion, seals basking in the sun, and shorebirds skittering above the surf line.

Leave only footprints...

Nantucket has some of the most beautiful and pristine beaches in the world. Please respect Nantucket’s fragile environment and the beauty of our island. Clean up your litter, respect private property, and use only designated entry points. In areas where dune reclaimation is taking place, please do not cross the rope or fence barriers protecting the dunes.

BEACH SAFETY •Learn to swim. If you can’t swim an overhead stroke for at least 15 minutes you should not be in the ocean. •Never swim alone. Always swim with a buddy, and swim near a lifeguard whenever possible. •Stay out of the “surf zone” where the waves break at the shoreline. Waves are at their greatest force here, and even a small wave can lift you up and throw you headfirst into the sand. •Never run from the beach into the water and dive headfirst into the waves. Sandbars that cannot be seen from the surface may be present and/or the water may be too shallow.

•Don’t jump or dive into the water from a pier or rock jetty. From a pier or jetty, water appears much deeper than it really is. What looks like 10 or 20 feet of water may only be 2 to 3 feet deep. Diving in could be fatal. The same applies for jumping headfirst into the ocean or a wave from a surfboard – don’t do it! It’s not a risk worth taking. •If you are body surfing or boogie boarding, always keep your arms out in front of you to protect your head and neck. •A rip current will pull you away from the shore, but it will not pull you under. If you’re caught in a rip current, do not swim toward the shore! Instead, swim parallel to the shore, until you’re out of the rip current. Then, swim in to shore. •Never drink alcohol or use drugs at the beach. It clouds your ability to make wise decisions, and that could be fatal! •Take direction from lifeguards at all times.
