Sadly not al the news is good.
...the Atlantic Cafe is closed for good under its current ownership. The sign pictured here was on the door for only one day, but the meaning is clear.
It has since re-opened at Cy's Lobster Pot. |

Airport terminal opens!
On May 29 - just a year and a half after breaking ground - the new Nantucket Memorial Airport terminal was officially opened.
Nantucket is the second busiest airport in Massachusetts and with the tremendous increase in seasonal flights from the NYC region, this upgrade was much needed.
Check out the airport website for more information or book a flight and see it for yourself!

Spend any appreciable amount of time on Nantucket, and you will, at some point, hear the phrase "it was in Gene's email". (read with the "duh" inflection of " how could you not know that?")
Yes, if you really want to be in the know, you need to get Gene Mahon's e-newsletter -- Mahon About Town. Gene -- a man a many talents and a good friend to the inn as well as the island -- started the email a few years back to let his friends know about restaurant re-openings and other events. It was never meant to be a full-time gig, but it instantly became a hit and is the source of choice for many of us.
In this issue, we plucked a few lines here and there (with Gene's blessing) to bring you up-to-date on a few of the new and exciting changes to the island for 2009.
Everything tracks back to the Mahon About Town blog where all the newsletters and extensive photo gallery are archived. There is also a link to sign up for the free e-newsletter.
Cheers!
General Manager
ps: we've been playing around with google maps and have created a little "self guided concierge" It's still a little rough around the edges but you get the jist! |

EL RINCON
Authentic El Salvadorean fare
...El Rincon Salvadoreno on Old South Road is open again, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. Many of the same dishes are back with little or no increase in price. Some American dishes have been added such as a good old cheeseburger. Appetizers range from $2-$10, salads $6-$12, and entrees $11-$20. |

THE DANCING PICKLE
...there's a new deli/sandwich shop/wine and beer store on the island. The Dancing Pickle opened a few weeks ago 118 Old South, between Macy Lane and Nobadeer Farm Road, across from the grass field and sculpture garden, which will be a perfect place to eat your sandwich when spring comes along.
Prices are very reasonable. Hearty sandwiches are $6.95 and $7.95. My favorites so far are the Reuben and Croque Monsieur Paninis. Breakfast includes egg, cheese and either bacon, ham, or turkey sandwiches for $4.95, and the breakfast burrito at $5.95, easily two meals. The Dancing Pickle also offers a catering service. The wine selection is all reasonably priced, most $20 and less. Also beer and other beverages.
Then there are the cupcakes..

TOWN
We are pleased to say that John Keene began his restaurant career right here at the Nantucket Inn
(a few years back!)
..."Town" restaurant is expected to open in early June in the former location of Musicall on East Chestnut under Executive Chef Neil Hudson. This will be the fourth restaurant created by Caroline Montgomery and John Keane, the others being Kitty's, Queequeg's, and the Hen House which they have sold. You'll be able to eat either on the outdoor patio (24 seats), the dining room (34 seats), or at the 12 seat bar with well known and loved island bartender Graeme Fleming. Town, open year round, will be serving "International Flavorful Dishes With A Tantalising Twist", with their signature dish of Tandoori Lobster. Appetizers will range from $8 - $14 and entrees $24 - $32. Beverages will include the latest "sakes, wines, and sophisticated cocktails." Some of the appetizers: Mulligatawny Soup, Vietnamese Pork Spring Roll, and Curried Chicken and Potato Samosas. Some of the entrees such as Weeping Tiger Shrimp with Thai Chilies and Vegatables and Spanish Pan Seared Skate are also available as appetizers at about half the price. Other entrees are Moroccan Style Lamb, Escovich Red Snapper, and much more.

CROSSWINDS
Just across the street from the Nantucket Inn at
the "new" Nantucket Memorial airport
...the restaurant formerly known as Alice's Restaurant at the airport is under new ownership and has been redubbed "Crosswinds" under a new chef, John Eisensmith. John adheres to the Japanese philosophy that eating should be an experience to help you enjoy your day. Crosswinds is open daily for breakfast, lunch and dinner, eat in or take out, with a far more extensive menus than you saw at Alice's. There's a special for every night: |
