Weekend Festival Full of Laughs

by Sanibel Chai The seventh annual Nantucket Comedy Festival (NCF) boasts an excellent line-up of talent, which includes Jeff Foxworthy, Brian Regan, and The Farrelly Brothers (cover photo). You can see traditional stand-up, an exclusive television premiere, a ladies only lunch, an interview with comedy heavyweights, and much more this year. The Festival will run from Wednesday, July 12 through Saturday, July 15. In addition to entertaining Nantucket audiences, the NCF is the premier fundraising event for the Stand Up & Learn™ Education Program, which provides education in stand-up comedy for students through creative writing, communication, and critical thinking exercises.

The Nantucket Comedy Festival is the brainchild of comedian Kevin Flynn. Flynn saw need for a program to inspire Nantucket’s youth after a rash of teen suicides here in 2007. Knowing there is healing power in laughter, Flynn spearheaded an educational program designed to teach students how to perform stand-up and provided comedy lessons. Now called Stand Up & Learn™, Flynn’s effort has become a nationally recognized comedy education program for ages 8 to 18 that uses laughter to empower, engage, and inspire.

Flynn’s initiative receives positive reactions from parents, students, and teachers. In order to perpetuate the good work of the nascent Stand Up & Learn™ program, he reached out to friends in the comedy world and began to organize a fundraiser. The fundraiser was a great success and evolved into the annual NCF we recognize today.

The schedule of events includes something for audiences of all ages and ratings from G to R so audiences know what to expect. The Festival kicks off with a crowd favorite: Kids’ Comedy Performance. Students from Stand Up & Learn™ perform original material that they have written and rehearsed in

Michael Melford will bring the world to Nantucket this Saturday, July 8, when he gives a free illustrated talk on the island about his adventures. A photographer for National Geographic. He’ll show slides of his famous photographs and discuss his assignments 5 to 6 pm in the First Congregational Church at 62 Centre Street.

His talk, entitled, On Assignment with National Geographic, will feature his stories and photographs gathered from multiple trips around the world. The stories behind his photographs will make you laugh, make you wonder, and certainly will make you look at the world in a different way. His assignments have taken him to every continent, from the peaks of the Himalayas to the remote islands of the Seychelles.

Melford has produced eighteen features and thirty stories for the magazine, including many cover stories. He has been the photographer for eight books produced by National Geographic, including three on Alaska.

“Michael Melford’s world travels and his rich stories make the images from National Geographic come alive. His camera gives us a glimpse into nature and to the people of the world. We’re so pleased that he is visiting the Maria Mitchell Association and has offered to provide this photographic journey free to the public,” says Dave Gagnon, Executive Director of the Maria Mitchell Association.

This talk is sponsored by the Nantucket Maria Mitchell Association, Nantucket’s Science Center, with a special thanks to the First Congregational Church for hosting the event.

The Maria Mitchell Association was founded in 1902 to honor the legacy and achievements of America’s first female astronomer, Maria Mitchell. She garnered worldwide fame for discovering a comet over Nantucket in October 1847. She then went on to become the first professor at Vassar College. The Maria Mitchell Association continues to preserve her legacy of scientific achievement and to carry on her passion for hands-on learning. Today, the Maria Mitchell Association operates two observatories (Loines and the Vestal Street Observatory), as well as the MMA Aquarium, the Natural Science Museum, and the birthplace of Maria 7127 Topper's YI July 6_Endless Afternoons_TOPPER'S 6/19/17 7:26 AM Page 1 Mitchell.

Yesterday’s Island/Today’s Nantucket

From Watches to Waves

by Cara Godlesky Many stores on Nantucket display glass cases filled with exclusive merchandise or the walls are lined with board shorts and casual apparel. Very few stores provide both. The Trinity Collection at 50 Main Street combines the styles with two shops in one. In the front of the shop are the high-end jewelry and luxury watches (many rare finds) that they’ve offered for years.

Through the mid-shop arch is their newly expanded gentlemen’s surf shop with fine apparel and accessories that will take men 18 to 80 from days at the beach to evenings out. In one stop, the Wrights can help you pair a classic Irish linen shirt or Loro Piana cotton/cashmere blend jacket with an attention-getting timepiece by Franck Muller, Patek Philippe, Rolex, or Audemars, and top it off with a very fine leather jacket.

The Trinity Collection opened its doors 20 years ago and mainly sold fine watches but four years ago, it expanded to carry quality surf apparel and the brand, Spyder Wright Surf. Edward “Spyder� Townsend Wright II, legendary surfer, originally opened the shop and now his son, Edward Townsend “Townie� Wright III, owns the store.

The Trinity Collection was not Wright III’s first time in business. From his earliest days on Nantucket, Wright III has demonstrated an impressive entrepreneurial spirit.

When Wright III was just six years old, he and his family would come to Nantucket and stay on a boat. Wright III noticed everyone on the yachts moored around them would sit and drink coffee on the backs of their boats in the mornings. He thought that it would be the perfect time and place to sell pastries to those sitting on their boats.

Wright III asked his father to borrow 10 dollars, went down to the old Morning Glory Bakery, bought pastries and went around selling them on the continued on page 13

The Communion NANTUCKET of Morning Coffee WALKING TOURS

by Robert P. Barsanti

Providing Quality Tours Since 1998

You can get anything you need on this island before eight o’clock in the morning.

In the summer, we bring too many people onto the island, take their money, rent them cars, and then say a little prayer that nothing bad happens.

And generally nothing does. However, sanity requires that we learn where the crowd is going and then make other plans. We need to zig when Connecticut zags. If we can be flexible and considerate, the island can be great.

If we can’t and insist on leading all of our friends and family through our agenda for the best island vacation ever, then we deserve to stand in line for a waffle cone full of Brownie a la Mode.

If we want breakfast out here, we need to be seated and with a coffees in front of us by eight o’clock in the morning. At that hour, the vacationers are enjoying the relative quiet of the morning or their livers are filtering the toxins of the night out as fast as age will allow. The roads are busy, but with workers on bicycles or runners bouncing through their “Morning Workout” playlists.

At seven-thirty, the Downyflake had warm sugar donuts, four waitresses, and one silent flashing television. If the last election proved anything to me, it proved that I needed “Say Yes to the Dress” and “Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives” a lot more than I needed twenty-four hour news coverage and chyrons. Nobody else minded, or watched, the flashing screen. I shared the counter with one young man with a pork pie hat and an older man who drank a small orange juice and ate dry wheat toast. One table held four men that were either on their way to a golf course or a fishing boat. In another booth, in the back corner, a young mom and two very squirmy boys colored some books. One older man sat alone near the window, weeping. continued on page 16

A Hunt for Real Treasure 10 Old South Wharf

by Dr. Sarah T. Bois Director of Research & Education for the Linda Loring Nature Foundation

lolacompany.com

Picture it: Squam Swamp in summer. We are bushwhacking off-trail among the mosquitoes are deer flies. We are trying to locate an old campsite among deer trails, but keep getting turned around. It’s especially hot and humid and the green briar and poison ivy are in full force. What are we doing?

And then, we finally see it. “Mom, mom, I found it!” Nothing compares to the sheer joy of a 5-year-old finding a box of treasures in the middle of the woods when we are seemingly miles from civilization. What we had just found was a geocache. This particular cache may have been a little difficult for this stage, but we were hooked and nothing but bad cell phone reception could stop us.

Have you ever been on a real treasure hunt? No? Welcome to the world of Geocaching. If you haven’t heard of it, don’t fret. Those in the know are instructed to keep it mum as if you were a muggle in Harry Potter’s world.

Consider yourself muggle no more.

Geocaching is based on a long tradition of hiding clues somewhere around the world in hopes that someone else, someday will find it. While it was officially started in 2000, Geocaching is based on older activities like Letterboxing (which began in 1854). It uses orientation skills, problem solving, and a handheld GPS to make discoveries all over the world.

At its most basic, Geocaching is a real-world, outdoor treasure hunting game. Participants navigate to a specific set of coordinates and then attempt to find the geocache (container) hidden at that location. While it can be a good lesson in orienteering and navigation, today’s geocaching involves the GPS in your phone (or other handheld GPS device). There are caches for all levels of expertise, all levels of mobility, and levels of mental difficulty. continued on page 26

Hoppy Happiness

by Jenny Benzie Advanced Sommelier + Certified Wine Educator, Proprietress of Épernay Wine & Spirits

40 CENTRE ST.

5082283214

Life is full of choices these days, including the selection of exciting, tasty canned beers currently available on the market. With the rise of numerous micro-brews across the United States in every region, along with consumers’ demands to make these new beverage offerings fun, whimsical, and more accessible, it is easier than ever to find your own hoppy happiness in a vast variety of styles and sizes in a beach friendly version. What this means for you is that your beach cooler won’t be as heavy as it was when filled with glass bottles, your beer will chill much faster coming from a can, and several of these beer offerings are now available in a more convenient 4-pack (versus a serious commitment of six) when trying out something new.

Not sure where to get started on this new beer adventure? Here is a quick list of small-town brew heros worthy of your attention.

Wormtown “Be Hoppy”... This brewery all began at an ice cream shop.

Ben Roesch wanted to create a brewery in his hometown of Worcester, MA. Meanwhile, Tom Oliveri was trying to figure what exactly to do with the new addition to his restaurant that was an ice cream factory. The two joined forces in the beer world and took it one step further by being committed to remaining local and working with locally sourced ingredients. Why the name Wormtown? Because the owners thought it was way cooler than calling the brewery Worcester Brewing Company.

Be Hoppy is a year-round offering that is a take on a Left Coast India Pale Ale, also known as a variation of an American-style IPA. That means it has huge aromatics with a high concentration on citrus aromas and flavors. Tons of hops are used in the double dry hop and hop back process in order to achieve such concentration. Super hoppy and slightly bitter to say the least.

Two Roads “Zero to Sixty” ... Two Roads is a concept developed by four beer industry veterans who saw an opportunity not only to successfully enter continued on page 28

Which Beach Is Best?

When first coming to Nantucket, it can be a challenge to know the best places to go and the best sites to see. Nantucket.net helps make these decisions easier by giving visitors a preview of our island: events, lodging, dining, museums, theatre, art, shopping, festivals, and more!

New this season, Nantucket.net has added a beach rating feature to itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Beach Section. Now, when you navigate through this section with maps, descriptions, and photos categorized by location, you can also rate the beaches you have visited on a scale from 1 scallop shell to 10. The ratings are averaged so people can get a feel for the beaches based on the opinions of other beachgoers. So far more than 37,000 votes have been cast!

For those who never have been to Nantucket, this feature can be beneficial to get an idea of which beach is the best. Nantucket.net also provides a beach condition report updated daily that shows with colored flags which beaches have calm conditions, which have higher surf and strong currents.

Be sure to read over the Beach Safety page on Nantucket.net to understand how to stay safe while swimming in the ocean and the harbor.

Whether youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re an island beach bum or a first-time visitor, the Beach section of Nantucket.net will help you decide where you want to spend your time in the sun and in the surf.

TrACK Nantucket by Bike Nantucket is strewn with historical treasures and cultural highlights.

Cruising the island by bike is a great way to get around, but you may wonder about the sights youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re flying past while on two wheels. Enter trACK, a free Nantucket bike path app that combines hands-free navigation and education.

Family-friendly trACK features eight routes that use audio navigation to keep you safe on the road. The app guides you with voice commands and alerts you when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve reached a stop. Once you are safely pulled over, trACK will display a tap-to-reveal prompt that includes details and photos about the site.

For example, the Cisco Beach Track will take you to Monument Square and Loines Observatory on the way to Cisco. The content and photos at each stop tie together history, conservation, and nature to encourage you to explore.

The driving force behind trACKâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s development was the desire to get people out of cars and to think about the island differently. The beauty of the app is that is caters to first-time visitors as well as seasoned Nantucketers. The information revealed by trACK will lend depth to sights you have passed by in a car numerous times without noticing. For visitors, the stops featured will expose you to places you might not otherwise see such as Sesachacha Pond and the Oldest House. In addition to educational content, logistical information is also incorporated into trACK. The are warnings about heavy surf at certain beaches and descriptions of bathroom and food availability.

The app is perfect for those who want to see the island by bike and at the same time learn about the history of the island. Previews are available on the app, but you have to get on your bike to enjoy the full experience. Follow @tracknantucket on instagram and download trACK on your phone.

the program. The Kids Comedy Performance is a great way to see the important work the NCF supports through its fundraising. “Come see this great show,” says Flynn, “it’s why we are all here.”

There are plenty of opportunities to see more mature material at the Festival. A beloved festival favorite, Ladies Night, will take place on Thursday, July 13 and features a slate of national headlining comediennes. Both ladies and gentlemen are invited to see Ophira Eisenberg, Kendra Cunningham, Veronica Mosey, Erin Jackson and Regina DeCicco perform. Earlier that day, a ladies-only luncheon will be held at the White Elephant Ballroom for an afternoon of lunch, socializing, and laughter with Kelly MacFarland.

This year’s recipient of the Man from Nantucket Award is the comedy writing team of Babaloo Mandel and Lowell Ganz. NCF Executive Director Kevin Flynn praises, “Babaloo and Lowell are the masterminds behind hit comedy movies like Splash, Night Shift, A League of Their Own, Parenthood, Fever Pitch, and others. In addition, the comedy writing dynamic duo of Peter and Bobby Farrelly will be on hand for a sit-down interview with Babaloo and Lowell as the guys show clips and discuss highlights from some of the most memorable scenes of their brilliant movie writing careers.”

On July 14, Jeff Foxworthy will headline the main event: Friday Night Lights. He is the largest selling comedy-recording artist in history, a multiple Grammy Award nominee, and best-selling author of 11 books. Widely known for his redneck jokes, his act goes well beyond that to explore the humor in everyday family interactions and human nature, a style that has been compared to Mark Twain’s. Alongside nationally touring comedians, Jeff will trade stand-up comedy and road stories earned from many years in the comedy industry.

Patron passes and individual show tickets for the Nantucket Comedy Festival shows can be purchased at nantucketcomedyfestival.com.

docks. He paid his father back with the money he made.

“I’ve always wanted to work,” said Wright III. Wright III also recalls collecting cans as a boy to get a nickel. “Back then a nickel was a lot of money.

I started saving and working. I used to go up at the end of the day and deposit my money right here at Pacific National,” said Wright III. “That’s actually where I started my first bank account with my parents. My parents were always like, ‘This kid’s crazy. He’s not going out playing. He’s trying to make money.’

That’s how it all started, I guess.”

It isn’t surprising that young Wright III was out there collecting cans and selling pastries, for the Wright family has a long line of businessmen.

Wright III’s greatgrandfather started the family history of entrepreneurs by recycling steel from the railroad industry in the 1920s. “Spyder” Wright II started another generacontinued on page 14

tion of entrepreneurs as a professional surfer who created his own company, Spyder Inc., that sells surfboards and surf apparel.

Spyder Inc. remained dormant for a while until Wright III decided he wanted to revamp his father’s brand and become his own boss. He re-

designed The Trinity Collection’s back section of the store by himself to house the new brand and clothing line, Spyder Wright Surf.

“I just hated answering to somebody. I kind a like to do my own thing,” said Wright III.

With his father’s help, Wright III took the Spyder brand and turned it into a high-end, lifestyle surf clothing line. Wright III calls it a “gentlemen’s surf shop” and a place to get well-priced, posh merchandise.

“I had my graphic designer draw out a picture of [my dad]…I made that the logo, created a brand, started small, and now I offer beautiful coats, everything from shorts, leather jackets, bags, sweaters, turned it into full on clothing store,” said Wright III. Wright III designed the entire clothing line with help from his wife and his father. Wright III tries to base his designs off of clothing that he would wear. “I choose my own style and hope everyone else likes it,” said Wright III. “Go for something you like. You never know what other people are going to like.”

Wright III tries to source all stores products from within the United States or Europe. Most of the leather in the store comes from Brooklyn. The brand also imports items made with Kenyan cotton and shoes from Turkey. The store also features bespoke collared shirts made directly in the USA. Spyder Wright Surf is a brand with a true substance. Wright II still surfs and still helps with the production of the products, so someone who actually knows the surfing lifestyle has an input on the clothes and products.

“There is someone behind the brand. It is based on my father, which I think is different,” said Wright III. “A lot of these brands nowadays, Greg Noll, those guys don’t even surf. My dad still surfs. There is a name still behind what the brand is about.”

Wright III aims to carry on his family’s history of businessmen by expanding the brand even further. “[I want to] grow the brand, get more people aware of it, and hopefully have multiple stores like my father did. Full circle,” said Wright III. This summer, Wright III hopes spend time with his family at the beach and out on the water to surf and swim. If you are on the beaches this summer, you might catch Wright III with his father, Spyder Wright II, who is still surfing and riding the waves at the age of 74.

You can visit The Trinity Collection and check out Spyder Wright Surf downtown to see their extensive gallery of watches and apparel at 50 Main St. You can also visit them online at www.etownsendwatch.com or follow them on Instagram @ the_trinity_collection.

Morning Coffee from page 7

He had seen some years and lost some hair. He wore a white dress shirt with a t-shirt under it. He wore brown slacks, loafers, and looked at his fingers. Before him, he had a cup of coffee, a dish of scrambled eggs, and a donut.

He wept with dignity. He didn’t sob, sigh, or moan. He wasn’t consoling or coaching himself. Instead, the tears flowed down his cheeks to his jawline, where they dripped onto the table.

All of us watched him. We didn’t stare, precisely, but we were aware. We were his lifeguards; we didn’t know if he was drowning, but we were ready to help.

He was in a space between. On one hand, he was puddling up the table.

On the other hand, he didn’t appear to be in need of any immediate help. He could eat his eggs, even though he seemed overcome. He maintained a delicate sorrowful distance, as if he were behind the wheel of a car at a light.

We waited for an invitation to approach. A word, or even a glance at any of us. None came.

Finally, Maureen, the waitress with a streak of green in her blond hair, slipped up to him and put her hand on his shoulder. He tilted his head towards her, then he put his hand on top of hers.

After a moment, he withdrew his hand and nodded.

She patted him, walked away, and then returned and poured him more coffee.

We settled back into our seats. We were not needed. Or, more precisely, we were not invited. We were needed, otherwise, he would not have come to the Downyflake for his scrambled eggs and coffee. We were there for our consideration and continued on page 17

our communion. His grief had become monstrous, but bearable in the community of coffee. And he had given us a moment when we could be of use, a moment when we could care for him. But after that moment, he finished his coffee and donut, left the majority of the eggs, parceled out some bills from his wallet, and then left. He didn’t look into any of our faces.

Then, the hour changed and the lines of men and children in shorts built up at the donut counter. Orders were given, received, fulfilled, and then quality checked for accuracy. For all of the energy of the three women behind the counter, the demands became complex and the process slowed. The line built up out of the side door.

The golfers (or fishermen) paid and left. The young mother shuffled her boys to the door and made them say “thank you” to the waitress. The dry toast and orange juice finished, as did the pork pie hat. As did I. Another line was building for table service and I had no need to inconvenience someone else. Still, I asked Evie to help me with a half dozen donuts, and she brought warm ones from the kitchen.

The Downyflake parking lot makes sense in October and June, but becomes overwhelmed into madness during July and August. The lot only allows one car to move one way or another at any one moment; success requires eye contact, problem solving, and turn taking. Kindergarten skills.

Yet, kindergarten isn’t in session in July. I backed out of my space and let a waiting Jeep pull in. Then another Jeep followed that one; I backed up another car length and let her grab a neighboring slot. Then, a third Jeep came face to face with the grill of my decrepit pickup truck. The driver wore sunglasses and looked into my face. Then he leaned on the horn.

I smiled.

Reality peaked above the horizon and dawned on Marblehead. He turned and slowly backed up. Which caused the Highlander to retreat. Which pushed a Land Rover back out into Sparks Avenue and away from the restaurant. I zagged my way through the waiting cars, then out to the road, and then back to the safety of my own house and overgrown hedge.

You can get anything you need on this island before eight o’clock in the morning. You have to wait for grace to approach, stretch your hand out to it, and accept what you receive. But God help you if you are late.

Youth Theatre from page 9

for since The Dreamland reopened its doors as a nonprofit in 2012, the 20172018 theatre season will also incorporate plays of incredible distinction, both educational and entertaining and suitable for audiences of all ages.

Curtains will rise on four of the performances—James & The Giant Peach, Blue, To Kill a Mockingbird, and Goosebumps, The Musical—from August through November. We Are Nantucket and Dr. Doolittle the Musical will open during the deep winter months.

“In deciding upon the season, I looked to pieces that both educate and inspire, as well as appeal to youth and their families,” said Byrne. “We seek to present work that is at once entertaining and thought-provoking; we hope the work seen onstage continues in both thought and conversation long after the curtain falls.”

“We are so excited about what Laura is bringing to this vital community theatre here at The Dreamland,” said Joe Hale, The Dreamland’s Executive Director. “This program is a prime example of how The Dreamland seeks to be involved in the lives of everyone in our small town, helping to nurture growth, development, and a sense of pride in our special community. But it is also a reminder that The Dreamland needs Nantucket’s support financially, so this and other important programs are secured for generations to come.

Many of our young actors participate through tuition sponsorships that would not be available without everyone’s continued support of this cultural institution.”

These productions will serve to compliment the already varied and diverse programming and films The Dreamland continues to offer on a weekly basis, open 364 days per year. The late season and winter plays compliment the variety of summer theatre camps at The Dreamland that started last Monday, July 3. For details on these camps, email caleb@nantucketdreamland.org.

A registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, the Dreamland builds community on Nantucket year-round by bringing people together to share experiences through art, culture, film, and learning. To learn about becoming a member of the Dreamland, visit nantucketdreamland.org.

Geocaching really only requires a few steps to get started: The first is to register for a free Basic Membership at geocaching.com. Enter your postal code and click "search."

Then choose any geocache from the list and click on its name. You can enter the coordinates of the geocache into your GPS Device and then navigate to find the hidden geocache. After you find it, sign the logbook and return the geocache to its original location. If you want to, you can then share your geocaching stories and photos online. !!

Even easier is to install the geocaching app on your phone. It will automatically show you the caches in closest proximity to where you are and navigate you to the location.

The description of each cache will tell you if it’s regular, small, or micro.

This is important to know what you’re looking for. It also helps if you’re with kids. Regulars and smalls are generally small boxes that have small treasures.

Micros won’t have toys or tradables, but will still have a tiny scroll of paper to write your geocaching name on. And that’s important! Your geocaching handle is your secret name. We sign all of ours with our handle, WoodedCreatures. Others around Nantucket include ACKSQUIRRELS, Loki, and FourSerendipity.

Back to the caches themselves; they can be anything. Oftentimes they are Tupperware containers or weatherproof boxes. We’ve found old ammo containers and secret plastic rocks. People who really like a challenge set up fake

birdhouses, pretend pinecones that open, and even little Lego boxes.

So, what’s traditionally in a cache? Erasers, matchbox cars, pencils…it’s a treasure trove of tchotchkes. Another important item in a cache is the log book. This is the record of you finding the cache. Sign your geocaching code name and the date and often a word or two about your adventure and you’re done. Remember not to take the pencil that it used for signing in the cache!

In addition to the steps to get started there is some geocaching etiquette that must be observed. First of all, don’t let muggles see what you’re doing.

If you’re on a path, looking for a cache and poking around some stone wall, be a little secretive when others come along. When you do find a cache, only take something if you leave something of equal or lesser value. Don’t put sticks or leaves as a trade for a keychain, that’s just poor form. I generally keep a small bag of trinkets in my car just for this purpose. Do not put food in the cache. This just invites creatures of all sorts to wreak havoc on the cache, ruining it for everyone else. Lastly, for now, DO NOT MOVE THE CACHE! While that may seem obvious, it can be tempting to move it just a bit or hide it “a little better.” Leave it just as you found it, and then everyone will have a chance to find the cache after you.

As of June 28 2017, there were 90 geocaches listed for Nantucket. My family has managed to explore only about 30 of them, but summer has just begun! Hiding caches is another lesson entirely with lots of rules and suggestions. You should get your feet wet first with just finding several. The geocaching.com website has a lot of great info about hiding and seeking caches if you need more.

Geocaching on Nantucket is a great way to learn the island even if you’re a seasoned old salt. There are people who make day trips to the island and try and find as many caches as they can before catching the last boat.

Whether by bike or car they often see more of the island than people who spend much more time here.

Geocaching is also a great hobby for travelling. We drive up to Maine regularly and like to find caches at various off ramps and rest stops along the way. It breaks up the car ride and gets us to pull off where we never would have stopped. Since caches are supposed to be hidden on publicly accessible land, we often find “hidden gems” of parks and properties we would not have found otherwise.

Hope to see you on the trail!

Hoppy Happiness from page 10

the craft beer market, but also to rehab a building in an area that needed a little local love. This brewery is located in Stratford, CT, just off of Interstate95, in an old manufacturing building. It’s providing jobs in the area and an emerging community space for the region. The brewery concept is based on a “road less traveled” philosophy in the beers they produce and how they make them.

Zero to Sixty is an original tart India Pale Ale with big flavor that takes off the second it hits your mouth, yet is easy-drinking and well-balanced on the finish. This is referred to as “tart” because it has the clean, puckering tartness of a sour beer that is then nicely balanced by a using combination of specialized hops during brewing. Kettle souring is a technique used by brewers to add more acidity to beer and allows them to manage just how tart the beer gets without overstepping the line. With the use of certain strains of hops in the brewing process, the final product will result in the addition of a fruit component to the beer without actually adding any fruit to the beer itself.

This seasonal offering from Two Roads is coming in hot and only available for a limited time this summer!

Glutenberg IPA ... This new-on-the-scene brewery came about when two friends had the idea to brew gluten-free beer. When one of them was diagnosed with celiac disease many years prior, the two buddies were appalled by what the market had to offer in regards to gluten-free beer. They saw an opportunity to solve this problem by creating a beer that not only they could drink, but wanted to drink. Along the way to pursuing their ambition to brew the best gluten free beers, they feel that they have also created some of the world’s best tasting beers after their beers collected all three medals of the Gluten-Free Beer category at the most prestigious brewing intercontinental competition, the World Beer Cup Brasseurs Sans Gluten (aka Glutenberg Brewery) is located across the border in Montreal, Canada. They brew exclusively from 100% gluten-free products. Their list of ingredients for this American style IPA includes: water, millet, buckwheat, corn, black rice, corn maltodextrin, hops and yeast.

feel this gluten-free offering is much better in taste quality than a lot of traditional American IPA’s that are not gluten free with the perfect balance of light citrus, fresh hops and a touch of bitterness.

Cisco Brewers Beach Box .... How many times have you seen something come to market and think to yourself “Now, why didn’t I think of that?” or “How come no one thought of this sooner?”

This is exactly the response to the new Cisco Brewers Beach Box variety pack. Our highlighted list of craft canned beer would not be complete without including our very own backyard brewery here on-island. Nantucket’s own micro-brewery has hit a homerun with the inception of this package, not just in the contents of the box, but also with the most apropos artwork of the package itself.

When you have a group of friends or family gathering for a day at Cisco Beach, now you can please the palates of everyone with this sampler of four year-round favorites offered by Cisco Brewers. This party pack contains three cans each of the following: Sankaty Light Lager, Grey Lady Ale, Whale’s Tale Pale Ale, and Indie Pale Ale. A perfect gift to take home for yourself to reminisce about your time on island based on the brewery’s slogan of “Nice Beer, If You Can Get It.” As you make your way to your beach destination of choice on Nantucket, please remember to drink responsibly, help keep the beach clean and enjoyable for all by throwing away your trash or recyclables in the proper receptacles and don’t forget your Koozie! #craftcans

Featured Restaurant: Fifty-Six Union

Culinary Magic on the Edge Magic happens when you add scrumptious food, superb libations, a dash of whimsy, and a bit of fun to summer on Nantucket, and this happens every evening just a short stroll from Main Street at Fifty-Six Union.

This eatery on the edge of town has the body of a chic restaurant, the soul of a Michelin starred establishment, and the playfulness of those who love what they do and love to share it.

Owners Wendy and Chef Peter Jannelle are ever-present at their restaurant, ensuring a great experience for every guest. You can dine in the front dining room with its café ambiance and whimsical accents or in the quieter, more formal back room. Outside on the sheltered patio, the atmosphere is summery and festive, with paper lanterns and hanging plants. For added enchantment, reserve the private Table 56 in the garden.

Part of the magic here comes from the bar, where mixologist Kat Turner has concocted several new and fun specialty cocktails. We recommend The Shihzu, an intriguing blend of Leblon Cachaca, shiso, yuzu, ginger, and lime topped off with soda with an appealing sharp sweetness. Two of her whimsical twists on the classics are winners— a Not So Old Fashioned with tasty notes of cherry and a Miacomet Margarita, leaning dry with an jalapeno and strawberry garnish.

Fifty-Six Union gets more serious when it comes to their wine selection. Carefully curated by co-owner Wendy Jannelle, all selections pair well with food and the list includes many lesser-known and superb bottles. They offer a dozen fine choices for wines by the glass, featuring a deliciously crisp MaconLugny, "Les Charmes," Burgundy and a particularly good Bourgogne, Houtes Cote de Nuit, "Les Dames de Vergy," Burgundy.

The kitchen magic flows from Chef Peter Jannelle’s talent for creating dishes that are refined yet approachable with clear and definite flavors. His menu has selections that appeal to a wide range of tastes. Dishes that are usually considered casual like a burger and a lobster roll are elevated here by his use of fine ingredients, his impeccable technique, and a little something extra until they’re not at all out of place as a main course paired with fine Burgundy or a glass of Veuve Clicquot. If their special Fifty-Six Burger happens to be their Lamb & Sausage Burger or their Duck Burger the evening you dine here, you’re in for a real treat!

We began our dinner this week with Conch Fritters. Exteriors browned and crisp and interiors light as a feather, these nicely sized spheres were perfectly seasoned and Chicken Dim Sum full of surprisingly tender bits of conch. We

like the fresh breath of cilantro and the pleasant afterburn from the habanero mayonnaise.

Wendy suggests a sparkling glass of Veuve Cliquot to complement.

We celebrated summer with glass of Le Pavadon Rosé, Provence and the Chicken Dim Sum — a picture-perfect plate of delicious moist chicken, garlic, and ginger steamed till the paper-thin pleated wrappers cling tightly to the filling. Be sure to swipe Clams Casino each dumpling through the tracings of sweet soy glaze adorning the plate.

The Rosé is also a perfect pairing for our two favorite appetizers at FiftySix. One of us orders the clams or the escargot every time we visit, and they never disappoint! Chef Peter’s Escargot Bourguignonne are plump and juicy with a clean, woodsy flavor drenched in butter with a delightful burst of garlic. You’ll want to use the toasted slices of baguette to mop up every drop.

Patrons of Fifty-Six know that this restaurant’s famous Truffled Frites are also ideal for dipping into the delicious garlicky remains.

The chef’s Clams Casino prove that little nibbles can produce big flavor.

Freshly shucked, these tasty tidbits are served nestled in their shells with a sprinkling of seasoned crumbs, tiny bits of red and green pepper, and a piece of applewood smoked bacon. All the flavors are perfectly balanced, with nothing overpowering the delicate clams.

With perfect timing, entrees arrived as we finished our last sips of wine. High praise goes to the Lobster Roll at Fifty-Six. More like two, there’s no skimping on this plate! With big chunks of sweet, succulent lobster meat, a crunch of celery and bell pepper, flickers of heat from some red onion, and just enough pernot-scented mayonnaise to tie it all together, Chef Jannelle’s lobster salad is superb. The lobster is set in toasted brioche buns Escargot Bourguignonne lined with fresh bibb lettuce.

Yesterday’s Island/Today’s Nantucket

The butteriness of the rolls takes the place of dipping butter on a lobster dinner. A mound of salty pommes frites, thin, goldencrisp outside and fluffy inside, is the perfect accompaniment.

Fans of fish will adore the Pan Seared Day Boat Fluke. A coating of pecans crushed nearly to dust imparts the essence of the nut to the bracingly fresh fluke without masking its mild, sweet flavor.

Colorado Rack of Lamb The moist fish is served on deep purple Forbidden Rice ringed by a colorful jumble of tendercrisp vegetables: golden sweet corn, red and orange bell pepper, asparagus, purple bits of onion, and red tomato. Lemon-thyme butter sauce adds luscious richness to this summer supper. (Suggested Pairing: Cakebread Cellars Sauvignon Blanc, Napa Valley) Steak on the grill is a favorite of ours, especially when it’s cooked for us perfectly to temperature and the steak is an Aged Sirloin with full beefy flavor. This fulfills all expectation of what a great steak should be. A simple plate that is simply delicious, the sirloin is served with roasted garlic mashed potatoes and green beans in a dark and lustrous pool of red wine demiglace

July 6-12, 2017

that is astonishingly good.

Even better (if that is possible) is the Colorado Rack of Lamb.

An evening special, this may or may not be on the menu when you dine at Fifty-Six. If it is, order it!

This entree this makes us appreciate the incredible quality of Colorado lamb. According to Chef Jannelle, the flavor and texture beats all others— it’s the only lamb Aged Sirloin he’ll use.

The chops are robust but not at all gamey. Even medium-rare, the meat is fork-tender. Breaded golden brown and bathed in a lavish bearnaise sauce, tabouli is the light accompaniment that cuts the richness of the dish.

(Suggested pairing for either the Lamb or the Sirloin: Justin Isosceles, unfiltered blend, Paso Robles) Our favorite way to end a meal at Fifty-Six is with espresso: either in the form of a true Espresso Martini (no Bailey’s allowed) or the Fifty-Six Float made with single shot of freshly brewed espresso poured over a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

If homemade chocolate chip cookies sound like the ideal dessert, try them with Villa Dolce Italian gelato (chocolate, of course) sandwiched between them in the Gelato Cookie Sandwich. It’s a delicious way to recapture the joy of childhood.

For a more intense hit of chocolate, you’ll want to order the Chocolate Lava Cake. The center of this individually-sized dark chocolate bundt cake is filled with warm dark chocolate ganache and topped with almond brittle.

During the summer months at this year-round restaurant, we suggest you order Chef Jannelle’s Fruit Shortcake. Strawberries and blueberries at their sweet and juicy peak are served on and around tender drop biscuits infused with a delectable surprise of orange. It’s the perfect ending to a magical evening.
