Nantucket Style

by Liz Dowling

I took a quick visit to Nantucket this summer with three favorite friends.

The last time I was on Nantucket was for work.  This trip was for fun!

We decided to take a little tour of the island.  I know it sounds cheesy, but I had never seen the entire island before.

Siasconset kicked off the tour.  My friend Sherry has two gorgeous Siasconset cottages in her family.  The 300 year-old Gardner House and a second structure that was once the barn to the Old Gardner House.

I spent many post-college weekends at these gems when I was working in Boston.

We hit the charming Nantucket town to shop and have some cocktails before we headed home.

We started at one end of the cobblestone street and worked our way through (almost) every store!

A friend recommended a few places for us to go and have a light bite.  Cru, Straight Wharf, Lola 41 and Table No 1.  We went with Cru so we could sit outside and look at the boats in the harbor.

We had delicious margaritas, chilled rose and some fabulous appetizers.  The perfect ending to a perfect Nantucket day.
