Colin and Heather Lynch, together with partner Jefferson Macklin, open Bar Mezzana, their first restaurant, in Boston's South End district. The team's energetic journey brings the simplicity and elegance of coastal Italian cooking to a modern, colorful environment at 360 Harrison Avenue, after more than 30 years of operating Barbara Lynch's internationally acclaimed restaurants. Genuine, warm service and hospitality are underlined by Aperol spritzes, an award-winning Crudo cuisine, and a career immersed in pasta creation. Bar Mezzana's wine program, led by Heather Lynch and Beverage Director Ryan Lotz, has a carefully chosen range of varietals to complement Chef Lynch's cuisine, including both well-known bottles and lesser-known (but equally excellent) finds. The cocktail menu has a similar chemistry with the meals. The list contains the perfect Negroni, the perfect Spritz, a handful of seasonal drinks, and a selection of Amari, all of which are heavily influenced by the seasons and traditional Italian cocktails. Colin is a native New Englander who grew up in Newburyport, Massachusetts and attended the Culinary Institute of America for his Bachelor's Degree in Professional Studies before settling in Boston. He had an internship at Chef Barbara Lynch's flagship restaurant No. 9 Park while at the CIA and returned to work with Barbara after graduation. Chef Barbara Lynch got the James Beard Award for "Best Chef Northeast" in 2003 while he was on the team. After that, starting in 2004, Colin was appointed to Chef de Cuisine at No. 9 Park. Colin assisted Chef Barbara Lynch in developing menus and staff when she expanded to the South End with B&G Oysters and The Butcher Shop. Colin's efforts during the opening of Menton resulted in the restaurant receiving Boston's first Relais & Chateaux designation, being nominated for "Best New Restaurant" by the James Beard Foundation in 2011, being named one of the best new restaurants in the country by Esquire, and receiving The Boston Globe's first four-star review from food editor Devra First. Colin and his wife Heather Lynch, as well as former Gruppo colleague Jefferson Macklin, started their own restaurant in June 2016. The creative crudo, handmade pastas, and welcoming hospitality at Bar Mezzana in Boston's South End have won rave reviews from local press and guests.

The Sankaty Head Golf Club is a private golf club that also features tennis and beach facilities. It offers its members and their families first-rate recreational and social activities in a setting that is low-key and relaxed. The game of golf is the principal emphasis of the Club. The golf course is known for being an exceptional example of golf design in the links style, and it is bordered by undeveloped area and various types of animals. The natural splendor and tranquility of the area are highly valued by the membership, and they consider the course's difficulty to be of equal importance. The Caddy Camp, which is made possible by the generous contributions of club members to the Sankaty Head Foundation, contributes to the overall quality of the golf experience at Sankaty. This camp is the last of its type and is an essential component of the Sankaty golfing legacy. It provides young people from all over the country with opportunities to participate in recreational activities and it also offers a scholarship program. The mission of Sankaty is to organize events in which several members of a family can take part. Tennis and swimming facilities at the Beach Club offer a variety of activities for younger children, teenagers, and adult members. Whereas golf is primarily oriented toward members and their spouses, with limited play by children under the age of college, tennis and swimming facilities at the Beach Club offer a variety of activities. The Club's social activity calendar is confined to certain events that are spread out over the summer season. This is done in acknowledgment of the fact that the Island offers a wide variety of alternative activities. The services and employees are kind and competent, and they are up to date while avoiding following any particular fashion trends. The food at the restaurant is delicious, and the gatherings are a lot of fun. The members place a high value on Sankaty's relaxed and friendly environment, which is unrestricted by an excessive number of rules and restrictions. The Club is dedicated to maintaining the values that have made it successful in the past while also adapting to the requirements of the present and future. The amenities at the Beach Club and the Clubhouse are both practical and comfortable, and their upkeep and modernisation are planned for in phases that adhere to the budget while yet preserving the historical nature of the buildings. Despite the fact that its facilities only allow for a total membership of 550 people, the Club has, throughout its history, kept its doors open to eligible new member applications who were sponsored by existing members. This strategy has served the Club well during times of high demand, and it has gained the faith of its members that admissions to membership are conducted democratically and equitably. This has earned the Club the confidence of its members. Properly sponsored legacies are given some precedence toward membership in order to ensure that the membership continues to value a strong emphasis on family. The Club, on the other hand, is of the opinion that it is vital to maintain a steady influx of new applicants for membership in order to forestall the risk of the organization becoming inbred through the implementation of a legacy policy. It is not due to the economic constraints of its membership that Sankaty is an affordable club; rather, it is due to the preference of its members. A significant amount of effort has been put in order to prevent the Club from being economically exclusive. The Club has ensured that the costs of its day-to-day operations and capital enhancements are fairly distributed among its membership in order to sustain this quality as well as the high standard of its establishments and offerings. In a nutshell, the mission of Sankaty is to establish itself as an exceptional family golf club that features a distinctive design, an engaging social program, and a summertime recreational atmosphere. The objective is to find a happy medium between modernization and preservation of established practices, with the end result being an improvement in the level of satisfaction experienced by members on an annual basis. The vast views of the Atlantic Ocean and Sesachacha Pond that are offered by the Sankaty Head Beach Club are available to guests whether they are exchanging vows or enjoying a gathering under a tent. The atmosphere and the breathtaking sunset combine for a setting that is sure to be memorable for any event, whether it be a laid-back clambake or an elegant banquet.

One of life's many pleasures, we feel, is sharing exceptional meals with your favorite people. Tuesday through Sunday, Fat Hen offers a wonderful private and semi-private dining event area. The restaurant's total capacity is 30 people sitting and 50 people standing. Fat Hen, La Brasa's younger sister, is a modest fifteen-table, thirty-seat restaurant specializing in modern Italian tasting menus. From the moment you come through the door until the last mouthful, our team is focused on the guest experience and making memories. Our passion for good wines, thorough preparation, impeccable technique, and high-quality local products is reflected in our seasonal menus, which change frequently. Please join us as we unveil our new wine bar concept with small paired nibbles. For any new menu updates, please follow us on social media @fathenboston. Seasonal Italian cuisine served in a small, book-lined room with a mysterious cocktail window. Fat Hen, which is housed in the former La Brasa marketplace location, serves pasta with seasonal stuffings and toppings, as well as secondi meals such roasted duck breast and wood-grilled strip steak. The little cocktail window, where drinks are delivered through from the La Brasa bar, only adds to the pleasures of the super-cozy room. Homemade pasta is served in this cozy, pleasant eatery. This is a slam dunk for romance. Plus, the more committed a restaurant is to seasonal ingredients, the better. (There's nothing more enticing than localism!) The Fat Hen ticks all the boxes: a modest, book-lined space, regionally inspired pastas, and indulgent dishes like roasted duck breast. Your date will be enthralled by the time your drinks arrive through the cocktail window leading to sibling restaurant La Brasa.

Sea Captain Uriah Howe originally built the Barn that now houses the Borsari Gallery in the early 1800s. The barn's first purpose was to serve as a commercial abattoir for Cape Cod and its environs. The Crowell family held the Sea Captain's home and abattoir for for a century, until it was purchased by Cape Cod local artist David Grose in 1960 and utilized to showcase his work. Bob and Kathy Borsari bought the property in 2008 and undertook a three-year renovation that was both elaborate and historically appropriate. The post and beam construction was lovingly restored to its original New England rustic elegance. The original pumpkin pine flooring was exposed, the century-old "ice box" was used, and the historic 1800s track & pulley system that was employed on the property when it was an operating abattoir was displayed. It was at this point that the barn's original beauty was revealed. While the original goal of the restoration was to create a setting that would allow Bob and Kathy to continue the history of presenting good art, it was clear by the end that they had produced much more than an art gallery. As a result, the Borsari Gallery was born: "Exceptional Image & Memorable Events." A pleasant and sophisticated environment with plenty of atmosphere; an ideal and surely unusual place for small gatherings of up to 100 people.

Martha’s Vineyard’s oldest continuously working family farm, the Allen Farm in Chilmark consists of 100 acres of rolling pastures and meadows bounded by historic stonewalls, upper Chilmark Pond and the Atlantic Ocean beyond. Jonathan Allen originally purchased the farm in 1762, and ten years later his oldest son, Tristram, built the timber-framed farmhouse, which still sits just off of South Road in Chilmark. We restored the house in 1998, incorporating grey water and Clivus Multrum composting systems into the ancient fabric of the historic structure. The farmhouse and all its attendant outbuildings are very representative of the heritage of traditional New England farmsteads. In 1975 Clarissa Allen, then in her early twenties, inherited the farm and together with her husband Mitchell Posin, they began the difficult and challenging task of bringing to fruition their vision for a viable and sustainable working farm.
