My laptop died on me last week, so the post I was planning on publishing today is locked in a dead MacBook Air.
In the meantime, I am re-posting my favorite places to go on Block Island. Â I posted it too late last year (August 28th) so this timing is actually better! Â 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
Clothes, jewelry, home, garden, bath and body. Â A little bit of everything in this adorable jewel box of a store.
Eli’s Restaurant
Cannot stay away from this restaurant! Â Go early or have a drink at the bar while you wait.
Twin Maples Bait and Tackle
Favorite T-shirt on the island. Â EAT FISH!
The Ice Cream Place
Yup, we are probably here way too much in the summer. Â But we LOVE it!
Block Island Club
 
The vortex. Where I met so many of my friends. Where sailing and swimming lessons introduced my kids to their lifelong best friends.
 
A true gem since 1963.
Payne Farm Stand
 
Island owned, on Lakeside Drive, the cutest little farm stand ever.
The Atlantic Inn
 
Our FAVORITE place on the island for a cocktail. Â Outside, with a view and a sunset. Â Can’t beat that.
The Empire Theatre
Built in 1882, this historic theatre has a brand new digital projector and all of the current movies. Â But I would see a movie here no matter what. Â Charming and lovingly restored by Gary Pollard, this is a must see.
The Bagel Shop
A staple. Â Iced coffee, bagels, giant muffins, fabulous sandwiches. Â You will definitely be here if you visit Block Island!
Crescent Beach
Heaven.
Blocks of Fudge
 
A good, old-fashioned candy store.
Abrams Animal Farm
 
My daughter and her alpaca friends…..
The Farmer’s Market
 
The Block Island Farmer’s Market takes place every Wednesday and Saturday. Â Everything is either grown or made on the island. Â If you are here and don’t visit the Farmer’s Market, then you have truly missed something!
Block Island North Light
Need I say more?
