Nantucket is home to some of the best shops and restaurants you’ll find anywhere. Whether you’re jetting off to the island this summer or cruising in by ferry, don’t visit Nantucket without adding these four must-visit spots to your itinerary.
SISTER SHIP NANTUCKET
Sister Ship Nantucket is a unique blend of restaurant, cafe, and relaxed cocktail club. You’ll find elevated cocktails and seafood-forward, Mediterranean dishes featuring New England seafood and local ingredients. Conveniently located in town, it’s easy to get to whether you’re just popping over for the day or spending some time on the island. My favorite items? The Spicy Harissa Chicken and Seafood Paella!
Stop by the Coffee Bar from 7:00 am to 2:00 pm and enjoy dinner and drinks from 5:00 pm to 10:00 pm.
BOATHOUSE
Mid-island, you’ll find Boathouse, a taco spot with signature options and nearly endless possibilities to build your own tacos and burrito bowls. Perfect for a beach day, you can grab your food to-go or stop by after a day on the shores. Their Jamaican-inspired specials make this spot unique, offering exotic flavors that stand out. Not a taco person? They also serve up delicious burgers for those who prefer to stick to the classics.
COOK’S CAFE
Eating healthy on vacation has never been easier than at Cook’s Cafe. A favorite among locals and visitors, Cook’s offers a variety of fresh wraps, smoothies, and bowls. Located in town, it’s a great spot to grab a quick, nutritious meal to enjoy on the beach or to sit and relax in the cafe. Their creative options cater to everyone, not just the health-conscious.
ERICA WILSON
Erica Wilson’s boutique on Main Street is a must-visit. Known as America’s First Lady of stitchery, her shop has been transformed into a destination for unique fashion, Nantucket style, and needlework. This women’s lifestyle brand offers elevated coastal style through clothing, accessories, pajamas, and needlework art. It’s the perfect place to pick up a special piece to remember your Nantucket vacation or to bring back a thoughtful gift for someone special.
These four spots are all conveniently located around the same area, making them easy to visit as you explore the charming cobblestone streets of Nantucket.
