If you have not already figured out from my zillion Instagram pics Nantucket is one of my favorite places on the planet. I have only been there a handful of times and each time I fall more in love with this charming Island. I don’t know how to explain it but unlike any where else I have ever been.

It truly is #myhappyplace.

I specifically bought a lottery ticket because when I hit it big this will be where I purchased my next abode. In the meantime, I will plan summer visits and continue to dream. I

have together my Nantucket Guide for you. There are so many fabulous shops, restaurants and hotels I have condensed the info to give you the best of the best.

The Proprietors Bar & Table
The unusual—and unusually named—cocktails (like the “Verde, Genuine, Edenic” made with fair-trade quinoa vodka, field arugula syrup, and kale and lemon juices) are reason enough to stop by this restaurant, housed in a historic white-clapboard house downtown.

Ice Cream and Treats:

The Juice Bar – must have a waffle cone…wait in the long line
