Block Island Faves

July 23, 2015

My laptop died on me last week, so the post I was planning on publishing today is locked in a dead MacBook Air.

P1040969
In the meantime, I am re-posting my favorite places to go on Block Island.  I posted it too late last year (August 28th) so this timing is actually better!  Next week I hope to be back up and running with my computer and will start chatting about the August 11th Block Island House Tour that I am on…..

Glass Onion

P1040891

P1040907

Clothes, jewelry, home, garden, bath and body.  A little bit of everything in this adorable jewel box of a store.

Eli’s Restaurant

P1040917

Cannot stay away from this restaurant!  Go early or have a drink at the bar while you wait.

Twin Maples Bait and Tackle

P1050088

Favorite T-shirt on the island.  EAT FISH!

The Ice Cream Place

P1040926

P1040929

Yup, we are probably here way too much in the summer.  But we LOVE it!

Block Island Club

P1050078 P1050080

The vortex.  Where I met so many of my friends.  Where sailing and swimming lessons introduced my kids to their lifelong best friends.

P1050082 P1050081

A true gem since 1963.

Payne Farm Stand

P1040863

 P1040864

Island owned, on Lakeside Drive, the cutest little farm stand ever.

The Atlantic Inn

P1040951

P1040948 P1040950

Our FAVORITE place on the island for a cocktail.  Outside, with a view and a sunset.  Can’t beat that.

The Empire Theatre

P1040892

Built in 1882, this historic theatre has a brand new digital projector and all of the current movies.  But I would see a movie here no matter what.  Charming and lovingly restored by Gary Pollard, this is a must see.

The Bagel Shop

P1040352

A staple.  Iced coffee, bagels, giant muffins, fabulous sandwiches.  You will definitely be here if you visit Block Island!

Crescent Beach

P1040897

P1040906

Heaven.

Blocks of Fudge

P1040881

P1040924 P1040919

A good, old-fashioned candy store.

Abrams Animal Farm

P1040942

P1040934 P1040935

My daughter and her alpaca friends…..

The Farmer’s Market

P1040956 P1040963

The Block Island Farmer’s Market takes place every Wednesday and Saturday.  Everything is either grown or made on the island.  If you are here and don’t visit the Farmer’s Market, then you have truly missed something!

P1040960

Block Island North Light

Wonderful suggestions, thank you for sharing so many treasures! I haven’t been to Block Island in 20 years, I hope to go back soon!

I have loved design ever since I painted my bedroom walls high-gloss lime green in the fourth grade. A lifelong hobby, mixing low cost items with a few pricier pieces thrown in, has become The Wry Home. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t!
