Freedman's of Nantucket

Please DO NOT go into this shop with Rob on Saturday. It is his favorite and he will never make it to our wedding on time!

Dune

Amy & Rob's favorite restaurant on the island. The halibut is amazing! Modern chic meets casual comfort in the heart of historic Nantucket. Voted the top restaurant on Nantucket!

Nantucket Lightship Basket Museum

Just a five-minute walk from Main Street Wander off Main Street on to Union Street where the stewards of the whaling industry lived. Walk the brick path once swished by the grey skirts of Quaker ladies. Glance up from your stroll at the widows’ walks where merchants and families scanned the horizon for returning ships. As you approach Weymouth Lane curling up into the gray mist, the magical historic garden of the museum unfolds in front of you. Amble along the brick path to the right of the building to enter the museum. $7 Admission

Nantucket Looms

Rob and I love perusing the home shop downstairs. Make sure to visit the work rook upstairs where you can view them working the looms.

Samuel Owen Gallery

Amy loves this gallery! Fun, eclectic art.

Young's Bicycle Shop

We rented bikes for the day! Such a great way to tour the island and get some salt air in your lungs!

The Juice Bar

We've yet to get here! The lines are out the door. Maybe this weekend!

Brotherhood of Thieves

Rob and I had a fantastic, cozy lunch of chowder and burgers. Everything you would expect from a great rustic tavern. The Brotherhood of Thieves, established in 1972 by Arthur Krause, is a restaurant and bar in Nantucket, Massachusetts with three unique dining areas: downstairs, a rustic 1840’s whaling bar, upstairs, a more traditional dining room perfect for private parties, and outside, a patio and Biergarten showcasing local Nantucket beer, wine, and spirits. They offer typical pub food, great chowder, burgers, and lobster rolls. If it’s a busy weekend, get there before the lunch rush, or there could be a very long wait

Bartlett's Farm

Bartlett's Farm is Nantucket's oldest and largest family owned farm offering fresh locally grown vegetables, flowers & plants and event facilities. Rob and I stopped here for lunch after biking around the island. Cisco brewery is on your way back to town too.
