May 27, 2015 >> The 76 Main Course
G&F headed East for our Summer Travel Issue to New England’s quintessential seaport town, Nantucket. We shacked up at 76 Main, one of many charming Mr & Mrs Smith properties dotted along the East Coast. Steps away from the historic downtown, 76 Main is a window into the very picturesque life on island. We relied on the hotel’s good sleeps and morning eats to get us prepared for the adventures around the island. Our jaws dropped—and mouths watered!—when we saw the Cafe’s breakfast bar spread. From Berry Chia Oats (E) to Rosemary Walnut Scones (D), the curated small plates take the grandma vibe out of traditional B&B breakfasts.
A property that puts heart and soul into the most important meal of the day creates something really special for their guests. It not only physically boosts your energy, but serves up a cheerful and delicious impression going into activity-filled days. The thoughtful menu includes items we all know and love, plus a few you probably have never come across before like our new favorites: Crispy Kale, Tomato and Sunflower Salad (F) and Caramelized Onion and Fig Toasts (C). Simple as it may be, we fell in love with the Pineapple and Mint (A) combo. You can sip on smoothies with fresh berries from around the island or crunch on the House Granola (B) made completely from scratch—and dotted with cranberries as a nod to the tradition of cranberry farming on the island. Whatever 76 Main is dishing, we’re having—how else are we going to play all day in the summer sun?
