From wine and food festival, salsa dancing to a writer’s workshop, once again it’s an extremely busy weekend on Martha’s Vineyard.
This week, Tom O’Keefe, the man behind the well-known Twitter account, @BostonTweet, took a short break from tweeting about Boston and instead, spent a day on the Vineyard. Usually Mr. O’Keefe tweets about restaurants, bars and events in Boston, but on Tuesday and Wednesday, he hopped on the ferry for a short getaway.
In the interview, he talked about some sights and places daytrippers and weekend beachgoers shouldn’t miss.
