Almost everyone has heard of black holes, a mysterious part of space that brings to mind a dangerous, hovering void. Black holes, however, are actually areas that contain an incredible amount of matter, and are not an empty space, as the name seems to suggest.

The Nantucket Maria Mitchell Association (MMA) is hosting a lecture titled “Hungry Black Holes” on Tuesday, July 10, at 7 pm by Dr. Suvi Gezari in the MMA Research Center at 2 Vestal Street. Dr. Gezari is an Assistant Professor of Astronomy at the University of Maryland and was a Maria Mitchell Observatory National Science Foundation Research Experiences for Undergraduates (NSF-REU) student in 1998.

She will talk about an increase in technology and surveying equipment that is changing the ways that scientists are able to study the night sky. Supermassive black holes (SMBHs), which often reside in the centers of galaxies and light up while consuming and digesting stars and gas, are being watched through the increasing capabilities of time domain observations which can help astronomers understand their mass, spin, and binarity.

Most black holes are created after a supernova explosion and the resulting death of a large star. So much mass is forced into too small of a space, resulting in an incredibly strong gravitational pull that not even light can escape. Black holes can also result from stellar collisions. These black holes are even larger, about ten to twenty-four times as massive as our own sun.

At the center of almost every massive galaxy is a supermassive black hole, the largest variety of black hole. Each supermassive black hole has a mass that is millions to billions times that of the sun. There is one at the center of our own Milky Way galaxy. It is this variety of black hole that Dr. Gezari will be focusing on in her Tuesday lecture.

The Maria Mitchell Association will be hosting a summer Science Speaker Series on Wednesday evenings and other special evenings, such as Dr. Gezari’s, from 7 to 8 pm. The talks will feature astronomers, authors, environmentalists, biologists, researchers, and others each week. For a full schedule and description of each speaker, visit mariamitchell.org. The event is free for MMA members and $10 for non-members.

The Maria Mitchell Association is a private non-profit organization.

Founded in 1902, the MMA works to preserve the legacy of Nantucket native astronomer, naturalist, librarian, and educator, Maria Mitchell. The Maria Mitchell Association operates two observatories, a natural science museum, an aquarium, a newly opened research center, and preserves the historic birthplace of Maria Mitchell. A wide variety of science and history-related programming is offered throughout the year for people of all ages. This year celebrates Mitchell’s 200th birthday with special lectures, events, classes, and exhibits all year-long, culminating in the Maria Mitchell Women in Science Symposium in October 2018 in Boston.

Yesterdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Island/Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Nantucket

Nothing to Fear

by Dr. Sarah Treanor Bois Director of Research & Education at the Linda Loring Nature Foundation Even though they were first seen in the fossil record around the time of the dinosaurs, snakes are actually the most modern of reptiles. As a group, snakes have been misrepresented and feared throughout history through no fault of their own. None of our local, Nantucket snakes are venomous and they are all likely more afraid of you than you are of them. The more we learn about snakes, the more we understand that these creatures shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be feared, but celebrated.

Snakes are an important component to the Nantucket ecosystem and vital to the islandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s food chain. With few mammals and other ground predators, many of our snake species perform an important job in eating small mammals such as white-footed mice, meadow voles, and shrews.

Snakes have excellent senses of smell. The breathe through nostrils, but smell with their tongues. When a snake sticks out its tongue, it smells its surroundings. Odor particles in the air stick to the snakeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tongue, which is then delivered to its olfactory organ via its mouth. Snakes rely mostly on their sense of smell and their sense of touch for hunting prey.

There are six species of snakes on Nantucket, each with their own habitat preferences and ranges even on this small island.

The most common is the eastern garter snake. You can generally recognize this snake by its distinct pattern of yellow stripes on a black or brown background. They are found in a variety of habitats and are especially prevalent in many Nantucket gardens. Their main prey items consist of earthworms, insects, and salamanders though larger garter snakes can sometimes eat small mammals.

The eastern ribbon snake is similar looking to the garter snake, but it is boldly patterned with three yellow stripes on a reddish-brown background.

These snakes prefer living around water and can be found at pond edges and wetlands. They primarily eat amphibians, frogs, insects, and sometimes continued on page 28

Consideration

by Robert P. Barsanti Summer came like a hangover. One night in June, the ocean hung over us in drops and drips. Then, in the morning, the sun shouted in through the drapes, the tiles got wet, and everything smelled stale. Outside, the growing world leapt at the light. Black-eyed Susans rose from the grass and bent their heads to the sun. The roses burst on the walls, and the hydrangea slowly began to inflate behind the fences. It seemed too soon and too late, but here it was in all its head-sore, cotton-mouthed July glory.

Compared to the mainland, we live bathed in glory. Some people work 51 weeks a year just to spend one week here, and those people who choose the week that the blazing summer came are the lucky 1%. When it hits 105 in Newton and Newburgh, they turn their lonely eyes to The Gray Lady. Here we are, on their screensavers and lock screens, with Brant Point Light and South Shore surf, Cisco Brewers, and Henry’s. They sit in traffic on 84, scroll through the available rentals on AirBnB and do the math. If they can get here, they will.

Unfortunately, our visitors don’t always realize that Nantucket is a part of America, but not the America they are used to. We live in an America without traffic lights, with rotaries, without turning lanes, and with stop signs.

The rules are different here, and the learning curve is paved with cobblestones. On Friday evening, three young, slender, and blond women emerged from a Yukon on Main Street. They wore linen dresses that swooped and tied in all sorts of ironed, exciting, and expensive ways. And the three of them wore heels that were three inches high. They realized their danger in an instant. A sea of cobblestones rolled near a rolling beach of brick. They all held hands and wobbled to The Club Car. They would not make this mistake again.

A black Suburban, from the same home town as the Yukon, waited at Five Corners. All five streets were full and a line of bicycles crossed the intersection without pausing at the stop sign. In full air-conditioned, tinted window glory, the Suburban justice warrior leaned his vulgarian short fingers

ISLAND PAIRINGS

Lighthouse Trio

by Advanced Sommelier Jenny Benzie For anyone arriving on Nantucket via the ferry, one of most iconic and picturesque scenes you will see as you come into the Nantucket harbor is also one of the island’s most recognizable structures. Nantucket is home to not one, but three lighthouses, and it is Brant Point Lighthouse that you see when first arriving to island by ferry.

Lighthouses are an essential part of maritime navigation at sea or with inland waterways. For Nantucket, this means making your way through the Grey Lady fog and avoiding the dangerous shoals off the coast. The US Bureau of Lighthouses was created by Congress in 1789, but today lighthouses fall under the United States Coast Guard. Once widely used, the number of operational lighthouses that are monitored by actual personnel has declined due to the expense of maintenance and also the use of electronic navigational systems.

While it is safe to say that getting to see all three of the Grey Lady’s lighthouses in one day is totally doable, it will definitely require an effort on your part. No need to leave yourself thirsty in your lighthouse bingo quest, however. Here is some brief insight into each of these three unique structures plus wine pairings to enjoy while on your lighthouse tour of the island.

Brant Point Light is the definite marker that you have either arrived or about to leave the waters of Nantucket Harbor. Standing only 26 feet tall, this small wooden structure is said to be the second oldest lighthouse in America and the shortest in New England. As the tenth structure in this spot, the current tower is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. To view this beacon of light is a short walk from town through the Brant Point neighborhood and down to the water’s edge. Grab a quick bite to go from The Corner Table at the Nantucket Culinary Center and a bottle of wine on the way to enjoy while sitting on the beach there and watching the marine traffic float continued on page 16

ISLAND COOKING

Summer Fresh

by Maryjane Mojer Bartlett’s Ocean View Farm Strawberries are coming on strong right now, and picking is well underway. I’ve picked about six quarts so far. My friend, Hilary is moving off island this fall. She stopped by my desk at work and said “I’m going to go pick. Care to join me?” How could I say no? Every chance to spend a moment or two in her easy company before she heads off on her next great adventure feels like a hit of summer sunshine and is too good to pass up. A few days later, my two-and-a-half year-old granddaughter, Hazelgrey and I had a play date— we spent the morning running errands and picking strawberries. Talk about a fix! Two quarts of fresh berries went home with her, and the rest became pints of strawberry jam. A spoonful mixed into my yogurt, on toast….or yes… straight on a spoon = instant summer.

I no longer have a vegetable garden, but I do grow pots of herbs; rosemary, thyme, chives, oregano, mint, cilantro and basil as well as tomatoes, eggplants, and peppers in pots. At this point, I’m about six weeks away from having the ingredients for homegrown ratatouille, but I can brighten up every meal right now with fresh herbs that are steps away from my back door.

I dropped off a pint of strawberry jam with my son’s girlfriend, and an hour later she sent a picture of a Strawberry Margarita with fresh basil. The best of both worlds!

Cooking small batches is a challenge for me, but when it’s as simple and delicious as this recipe, count me in.

STRAWBERRY JAM This is an easy, pectin free jam.

It’s a bit looser than a jelly and freezes well.

Summer Fresh from page 9

3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice 3/4 cup sugar 1 vanilla bean split Combine berries, sugar and lemon juice and let sit overnight.

Pour mixture into a heavy bottomed pan. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer, stirring constantly until thick (About 10 to 12 minutes.) Cool completely. Fill quart size resealable bags, lay flat and freeze. Will keep for up to a year.

SUPERHERO MUFFINS My love and adoration of cookbooks is well documented and supported by friends and family. That said, I find inspiration and just plain old joy reading blogs and trying trending recipes. One that I’ve made a few times a few different ways is from Shalene Flanagan and Elyse Kopecky’s Cookbook, Run Fast, Eat Slow. (I am a runner…a very, very slow runner. Truly. I walk faster than I run, and I am just fine with that.)

These muffins are reminiscent of Morning Glory Muffins, but are gluten free, full of fiber, and sweetened with real maple syrup. Long lasting and portable. A great breakfast with a banana (and coffee, always coffee.)

Yield: 12 2 cups almond meal 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats (use gluten-free if sensitive) 1/2 cup chopped walnuts 1/2 cup currants or raisins, optional 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt 3 eggs, beaten 1 cup grated zucchini (about 1 zucchini) continued on page 11

1 cup grated carrot (about 2 carrots) 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted 1/2 cup Grade B maple syrup 1 teaspoon vanilla paper muffin cups Arrange a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 12-cup standard muffin tin with paper muffin cups.

In a large bowl, combine the almond meal, oats, walnuts, currants or raisins, if using, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, and salt.

In a separate bowl, mix together the eggs, zucchini, carrot, butter, maple syrup, and vanilla.

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Spoon the batter into the muffin cups filling each to the brim. Bake until the muffins are nicely browned on top and a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean, about 25 to 35 minutes.

I always make a recipe its written the first time I make it, but the second time? Watch out world! Below is a Superhero Muffin reboot.

In a large bowl, combine the almond meal, oats, almonds and basil, baking soda, and salt.

In a separate bowl, mix together the eggs, zucchini, carrot, butter, maple syrup, and vanilla.

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Spoon the batter into the muffin cups filling each to the brim. Bake until the muffins are nicely browned on top and a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean, about 25 to 35 minutes.

STRAWBERRY BASIL MARGARITA Jam in any form on any sort of baked good is really good. Fresh Strawberry jam mixed into a Margarita is nothing short of magic! After your run, after a long day, before dinner, during a sunset, this is the perfect summer cocktail.

In a small dish, pour 1/4 cup of sugar mixed with 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt. Rim glasses with lime wedges, and dip in sugar salt mix. Set aside.

In a blender combine 12 oz tequila 1/2 cup strawberry jam 8 oz moscato 8 oz triple sec 1/2 cup lime juice 3 cups ice Blend until smooth. Pour into sugared glasses, garnish with a fresh strawberry and enjoy.

It can be a challenge at times to find that summer feeling, especially when the skies are opening up wide and rain just falls out. Take a moment, take a breath, take a bite or a sip or a walk with a friend. It’s here….you can find it, I promise.

On Friday, July 20, White Heron Theatre’s party of the season pairs the Opening Night of Private Lives with their Summer Gala in a glamorous evening of theatre followed by dinner and a “late night supper club cabaret’ in the Nantucket Whaling Museum with Tony-Award nominees Jeremy Shamos, John Ellison Conlee, and Celia Keenan-Bolger.

“This is an astonishing cast of accomplished actors,” said Mark Shanahan, Private Lives Director. “It is rare to see three Tony-nominated actors in one cast, especially in such an intimate venue. We are very excited for this. ” Private Lives is a wildly funny classic romp about love and marriage—Noel Coward at his best—and will run in repertory with Daddy Long Legs through August 18.

“We are so pleased to have these actors in our summer company,” said Lynne Bolton, White Heron artistic director. “Private Lives will be a first for Nantucket audiences in terms of the caliber of performances and the set, lighting, and sound design. To have the chance to see these actors working in an intimate space is a very unique opportunity.”

The award winning technical designers for Private Lives include: John Gromada, a prolific, award-winning sound designer and composer best known for his many theatrical Broadway productions; Louisa Thompson, award-winning set designer; and Christine Watanabe, lighting design.

As part of White Heron’s commitment to new work for the American stage, a new play by Calvin Trillan, About Alice, will debut in a developmental production opening August 22, directed by Leonard Foglia. Trillan, Foglia and Jeffrey Horowitz, Artistic Director of TFANA, will be in residence with White Heron for the month of August. The humorous and poignant story of columnist Calvin Trillans’ wife and muse, About Alice will have its New York world premiere in November at TFANA. The world premiere of a new play, Evanston Salt Costs Climbing opens in previews August 30 running through September 15.

For details about the 2018 season and for tickets contact White Heron Theatre Company, 508-228-2156 or visit www.whiteherontheatre.org

Consideration from page 7

on the horn, spilling one of the young boys from his bike. We all waited for the family to collect themselves and move on before the Suburban blew forward to his Great Harbor dinner reservation.

The Suburban was correct, in one sense. The bicyclists did not have right-of-way; any State Trooper would have told them to stop at the sign and wait for their turn, as the rest of us had. However, the rules of the road don’t work so well on roads that are one-and-a-half cars wide. We, who have spent a great deal of time on island, don’t realize the culture shock and the learning curve that recent arrivals need to work through. Our common sense is not their common sense. What works in New Canaan definitely does not work out here.

Nantucket was not designed for the mass of people who arrive in summer. The cell phone circuits clog, the water pressure drops, and previously idle intersections stack up with cars. Greed, bad planning, and Yankee stubbornness have created jammed parking lots and slow-moving automotive clots. Had we built the island with an eye towards tourism, everyone would leave their cars in Hyannis and drive golf carts, beach buggie, and tandem bicycles.

Twenty years ago, before Nantucket became a case study for the “tragedy of the commons” lesson, we debated a proposal to limit the cars on-island.

Every current car registered to the island would get a permit to drive on-island. The righteous, indignant, and freedom-loving voters at town meeting shouted this down as “un-American.” They were right. Nothing screams America like a millionaire stuck at Naushop in traffic on his way to town.

America screams over and over.

In this mess of our own making, we cannot depend on anyone else to save us. The State Police won’t come in, nor will Bernie Sanders or Donald Trump. We have met our savior and he is us.

Consideration must rule the road. Out here, you drive with your left hand while you steer with your right. You wave, you point, and you flash a thumbs up. In order to drive on Nantucket, you have to look into the eyes of the other drivers and see into their hopes and dreams for a moment. And they have to look into yours.

You can be anonymous in Needham and New Rochelle; your black Suburban will blend into all the other anonymous cars ripping along the freeways. On Nantucket, you are known. Be it the neighbor, the bartender, or your partners on the tennis court. You cannot run away from your arrogance on the roads.

While the clubs give the illusion that you can hide behind a velvet rope, you still will find yourself standing in line for ice cream, sitting on a beach, or on Old South Road. You might have swindled Bear Stearns, crashed Lehman Brothers, and own the course record, but you still have to wait in line for doughnuts. The stop signs speak, the parking lots whisper, and the cobblestones mutter the same thing; you’re not as important as you think you are.

(Even if you were, in fact, born here.)

In the heat of July, when the rest of the world would love to come to Nantucket, perhaps you should revel that you are here already. Too many of us are here and too many of us want sandwiches and too many of us are heading to Nobadeer, but if you can drive with the air conditioning off, the driver’s window open, and an occasional wave, the experience will be better for everyone. Even if you are stuck on Old South Road.

Summer Hours: Monday-Saturday, 11am - last call @ 7pm; Sunday, noon - last call @ 6pm Tastings, tours, live music and good times! Kids, snacks, & leashed dogs welcome!

Lighthouse Trio from page 8

by. Side note: Little-known fact is that Mystic Seaport Light in Connecticut was built as a replica of this one.

Perfect Pairing for Brant Point Light is Jo Landron Muscadet Sévre et Maine ‘La Louvetrie’ 2017. This organic wine is made from 100% Muscadet, also known as Melon de Bourgogne, from the Loire Valley in northwestern France. It is full of juicy fruit and tons of delicious minerality. This was is aged “sur-lees,” meaning it has spent time on the lees (or leftover yeast after fermentation has been completed) in order to give the wine a little more texture or mouthfeel. Green apple and floral notes are followed by a tartness on the palate that make this a great affordable accompaniment to your afternoon snack.

Sankaty Head Light is located on the way to ‘Sconset on the eastern side of the island atop the cliffs just beyond the Sankaty Head Golf Course. The word sankaty is derived from the Native American word “sankoty” which means highland, as in where this lighthouse is located. This lighthouse was cautiously moved just a slight 400 feet from its original location in 2007 in order to help prevent it from falling off a nearby seacliff. The grounds are open daily from sunrise to sunset for viewers to enjoy and learn more about the history of the lighthouse. The lighthouse is also open semi-annually thanks to The ‘Sconset Trust, which gives visitors the chance to climb the tower and see breathtaking views.

Perfect Pairing for Sankaty Light is Grey’s Peak Sauvignon Blanc ‘Barrel Fermented’ Waipara, NZ 2016. This award-winning, complex style of Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand’s Winemaker of the year is the perfect juice to drink while visiting the Grey Lady. The winery is located just north of Christchurch on the South Island of New Zealand. Aromas of pineapple and tropical fruit are accompanied by a generous texture on the palate due to the barrel fermentation. Drink now and take a bottle home with you as it is not readily available in other locations.

To continue our tour, the most remote of the three lighthouses on Nantucket is Great Point Light. This structure, standing 70 feet tall, is located on the northernmost point of the island, past The Wauwinet. The current stone tower was rebuilt in 1986 (the previous structure collapsed during a winter storm in 1984) and is most accessible by 4WD vehicle or by boat. An oversand beach permit is required to visit this beauty or take a guided tour with The Trustees of Reservations for a more leisurely adventure. (508-228-6799) Perfect Pairing for Great Point Light is Landmark Overlook Chardonnay, Sonoma County 2016. This elegant Chardonnay is a blend of premium fruit from the best vineyards in Sonoma County. Ripe pear and baked apple on the nose with a buttery, oaky finish make this a quintessential California Chardonnay that will delightfully match any lobster roll. Don’t forget your corkscrew if you take this wine with you, it’s a long way back to town!

Congrats to those of you who are able to say that you have journeyed each of Nantucket’s Lighthouses. If time did not allow for all three this visit, tradition has it that you should toss a penny off the back of the ferry and make a wish as you round Brant Point Light. Some believe that this will ensure you a trip back to Nantucket someday. Cheers to that!

Jay’s donuts the standard by which all others are judged!

small fish.

The ring-necked snake is my personal favorite. This small snake is unique in its look, with grey above and a yellow or orange belly. A yellow necklace circles the snake at the base of the head. Ring-necked snakes prefer moist woodlands and can be found at Squam Farm and possibly in a shady woodpile.

The northern water snake is the largest snake on Nantucket. It is thick and dark-colored, and can grow up to four-and-a-half feet long! As their name implies, they are excellent swimmers and are found primarily in lakes, ponds, and wetlands. They eat a variety of things that can be found at the water’s edge.

The bold patterns of milk snakes cause them to sometimes be confused with copperheads, which are rare and elusive in mainland Massachusetts.

The non-venomous milk snake has a light gray to tan body covered with reddish-brown blotches bordered in black. Milk snakes feed primarily on small mammals and can also take birds, bird eggs, and other snakes. Milk snakes seem to be more prevalent on the eastern side of the island.

As its name implies, the smooth green snake is unpatterned and green above, white to pale yellow below. It is difficult to confuse with any other snake on the island. The smooth green snake is an interesting case on Nantucket as it can only be found on Coatue. While they can occupy a variety of other habitats on the mainland, it is thought that competition with the more aggressive milk snake relegates the smooth green to the sandy shrublands of Coatue.

A survey of snakes on Nantucket has been ongoing since 2007 in collaboration with off-island researchers, the Nantucket Conservation Foundation, the Maria Mitchell Association (MMA), and the Linda Loring Nature Foundation (LLNF). This group is unofficially called the Nantucket Snake Consortium (NSC).

In this survey, snakes were captured at Squam Farm and the LLNF propcontinued on page 29

erty at Eel Point Road. Snakes were captured primarily via “snake boards” which are plywood boards placed usually at a habitat edge. Snakes are drawn to the boards as refuge. At regular intervals, the boards were checked and snakes captured, assessed, and data collected before the reptiles were released back into the wild.

From this research, it was found that the garter snakes on the western part of the island, namely at LLNF, are significantly larger than garter snakes on the eastern side of the island. We think this is primarily due to diet availability. There are also few milk snakes on the western side, so there may be less competition for available resources.

In 2014, Smyers et al. published a study comparing the color patterns of garter snakes on Nantucket, Tuckernuck, and mainland Massachusetts. Researchers, including Andrew McKenna-Foster of MMA, found that Nantucket garter snakes had significantly different patterns than their mainland counterparts. One possibility for the variation is that different patterns arose in response to the lack of mammalian predators and the vegetation found on Nantucket. Unlike their mainland counterparts, garter snakes from Nantucket and Tuckernuck are not exposed to mammals that potentially prey upon snakes.

In 2018 the Nantucket Snake Consortium (NSC) is again sampling snakes.

This year is functioning as a pilot year in response to a potential new threat.

In the winter of 2017, a ring-neck snake caught on Nantucket tested positive for Ophidiomyces fungus, or Snake Fungal Disease (SFD). Further investigation revealed that the fungus had been seen on-island before, but did not appear to be harmful to the snakes. Snake Fungal Disease is an emerging problem in certain populations of wild snakes in the eastern and midwestern United States. According to the USGS, some mortality has been associated with SFD, but the population-level effects are still unknown.

In an effort to assess the extent of the SFD on Nantucket, the NSC will begin capturing snakes this summer to look for visual signs of the fungus.

The objectives are to see which species of snakes may be affected and what parts of the island show visual evidence for SFD. Information gathered this season will help set the stage for a potentially larger study in future years.

To learn more about the snakes of Nantucket, visit the Maria Mitchell Association Natural Science Museum at 7 Milk Street or sign up for the Snake Slithers class at the Linda Loring Nature Foundation.

Yesterday’s Island/Today’s Nantucket

July 5-11, 2018

Featured Restaurant: Fifty-Six Union

A Perfect Union

by C. Oscar Olson The chance to enjoy the outdoors is truly a treat when dining at a restaurant. Especially on Nantucket where the evenings are cool and comfortable, the right setting can immeasurably enhance every aspect of the event. The atmosphere is more fun and more personal, conversation is more relaxed and real. Even the food is somehow improved.

Fifty Six Union has what might be one of the best patio settings on the island. A rooftop protects you rain and shine, and hedges help define the gorgeous garden complete with rocking chairs and tables on the manicured lawn. Dining tables are decked with a soft, shimmering gold cloth, and when the sun goes down starry lights start to shine overhead. And if it gets chilly, don’t fret: Duck stylish heaters pump out enough warmth for the whole patio, and every chair is draped with a super soft fleece throw. There's ample indoor dining too, of course. Not one but two cozy and classy areas for intimate outings or large parties Owners Wendy and Peter Jenelle know the island and their customers well, and the passion and pride they have for both is easy to see. Peter graduated The Culinary Institute of America in 1978 and went to work on the Holland America Lines, and his global travels helped inspire the myriad of flavors on his menu today. They have been serving the island community on Union Street for close to two decades, keeping the tastes fresh and the tables full all year long. The couple are in attendance at the restaurant every evening, and even their two sons can be found on either side of the house, a clear example of their family commitment to the craft.

Our evening began with fresh bread and butter, and soon after came one of the specials of the evening: Escargot.

These savory morsels are one of the establishment’s claim to fame and often appear regularly on the menu, though not at very many other spots on the island. Six small snails are prepared in a garlic forward butter and brandy sauce with Escargot parsley, Pernod, and lemon.

They are tender and toothsome with a delightful crunch from the panko breadcrumbs sprinkled on top. Served alongside are three thick slices of toasty warm baguette, they are ideal for both delivery and cleanup.

There are several salads and vegetarian options to choose from, and we opted for the Southwestern Caesar. A fun take on the Italian classic, verdant romaine fills the plate and is skirted with crunchy, crumbly cornbread croutons adding a bit of sweetness. Not overly dressed and peppered with Parmigiano Reggiano, the highlight is the criss-cross of roasted poblanos on top.

These sardine stand-ins bring a savory, smoky spice to the table.

You simply cannot go wrong with Duck ConConfit fit, especially when it’s served in an exciting new way. Soft, airy Asian steamed buns folded over confit duck leg and a house hoisin, pickled onion, cucumber, and carrot with cool, cleansing cilantro. The bun is mild and sends the sweet, bright, and fun flavors forward. Two are perfect for sharing with a friend, or not!

The unanimous highlight on the starter side of the menu was the Crab Cake (cover photo). All meat, beautifully browned, and never skimpy, it bursts with bright flecks of red peppers and green scallions. An Americaine sauce underneath it all enhances every bite with subtle sweetness and the essence of lobster.

Wine lists are given at most of the island’s eateries, but like most things, Wendy brings it to a better place.

Available by the glass or bottle, each vintage is hand picked for quality, peakness, and pairability. She even boasts her own Private Label Pinot Noir by Steele: “Veronica’s Private Reserve.” There is also beer by the bottle and a full bar, but our faKing Salmon vorite part every

time we return is the cocktail list. One-of-a-kind concoctions are crafted to order and every one of them is worth a try. There were two brand new drink specials this evening, so we took them for a spin.

After the long, drawn out winter of 2018, we are all happily welcoming warmer temperatures. Pair the heat with the Cool as a Cucumber (cover photo). The cocktail blends Hendick’s gin, a softer, more floral approach to the often abrasive spirit, with tart, fragrant Japanese yuzu. It is delightfully dry and refreshing. If you need some spice Javanese Spicy Fried Rice while you cool off, then the Jalapeño Casa Noble (cover photo) is the option for you. Ultra premium tequila heats up with fresh jalapeño, lemon, and lime. Just a dash of sweet agave from the divine distillate wraps all the flavors together with a smooth, clean finish.

As we lounged with our libations, the entrees were coming out of the kitchen to greet us in the garden. King Salmon, dusted with cumin and coriander, was served with lentils and cooling cucumber raita. The fish was meaty and marvelous and was no doubt the star, but these lentils are worth writing home about: delicate and soft yet bursting at the seams with slow cooked flavor.

Three unique components offered an enthralling mix of textures, tastes, and temperatures.

Trust the menu and listen to your server, because Javanese Spicy Fried Rice is not for the faint of heart. Sambal oelek peppers, sriracha, soy sauce, and sesame add the high-pitched heat and color to the rice. Somehow the flavor of the ginger, chicken, and shrimp survive the fire. Broccoli rabe adds some relief to the mix, but consider yourself warned.

house favorite with velvety complex mashed potatoes and garden fresh green beans. Hold the A-1 though, because the housemade 56 Sauce is our new favorite condiment compliment.

The meat was spot-on medium rare and a razor thin garnish of radish radiated with a fresh crunch.

With the humidity hanging on til Seared Rare Tuna sunset and the warmth of the day lingering longer, we suspect the Seared Rare Tuna will become a hot item at Fifty-Six. It’s served cool, dusted with 7-spice with a slight sear around the edges, then sprinkled with black and white sesame seeds. Several slices sit atop a bed of cold udon noodles alongside a pickled ginger aioli and nuoc cham, and garlic-lime asian style sauce, for dipping.

The noodles are tossed in a creamy tahini base and flavored with chai and green tea. It was an easy favorite for us that night.

For those looking for light pick-me-up after dinner, the Fifty-Six Float is the dessert item to order. As a single scoop of vanilla ice cream melts away into a cup of fresh, hot espresso, the temperatures and flavors mingle to create a mouth watering mix sip after spoonful. Classic Creme Brûlée rotates regularly so check back often. We cracked into a White Chocolate Cherry version: smooth, slightly tart, and so satisfyingly sweet. For a chilled choice, go for the Gelato Cookie Sandwich. This rustic, homemade classic brings out the kid in all of us with chocolate cookies hugging rich dark chocolate gelato. This option changes a few times throughout the season and we can’t wait to see what’s next. Our favorite dessert really brought it home—the Berry Shortcake.

This summertime favorite quite literally brought grandma’s recipe to life, just jazzed up with the essence of orange. Ripe red strawberries, blueberries, and peaks of whipped cream make this patriotic epilogue to dinner worth coming back for!

As year rounders, during the colder months we take refuge indoors at Fifty-Six, but will always welcome the better weather as we bask in the glow of new faces and summer stars. We’re lucky to have Wendy and Peter month after month on Nantucket—there is just something extra special about the summer season dining on their garden patio.

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.
