Who says we don’t have a mall on the Vineyard? Have you visited the Tisbury Marketplace on Beach Road in Vineyard Haven lately? For a location that has been around for many years, it has recently seen new additions to round out its spectrum of businesses.

Whether you are arriving or leaving, you have delicious food options available to you. On arrival is The Net Result, owned by the multi-generation Larsen family, which offers quality seafood, and a take out counter with prepared foods including sushi, fried clams, lobster, and burgers. For more information, visit mvseafood.com or call 508-693-6071.

Next door lends itself to the kids in the family, as The Toy Box is the Island’s premier toy store. After 25 years in business, The Toy Box still offers the perfect toy for fun or for educational purposes as well as arts and crafts supplies. To find this year’s hottest toy gift, visit them from 10 am to 5 pm, year-round, or call them at 508-693-8182.

Phew, you must be getting hungry after visiting all those stores, but before you refuel why not relax at the brand-new Martha’s Vineyard Film Center? Run by the membership driven Martha’s Vineyard Film Society, the newest theater on the Island has stadium seating with large cushioned chairs.

The Society is “dedicated to screening the best independent films, movie classics, documentaries and world cinema for diverse audiences of all ages,” according to its website, mvfilmsociety.com, which is where you can find out more information about their screenings as well as membership.

If you just finished a movie and are famished, a step next door will lead you into Rocco’s Pizza, where you can pick up a pizza, calzone, salad, or other luscious Italian dish to eat in or take home.

Speaking of homes, RE/MAX on island is one real estate office to check out and see what’s available on Island to buy or rent seasonally, along with a welcoming place to list your home should you want to sell. Pop in the office upstairs or call 508-696-3704 for an appointment.

Have a sweet tooth in the afternoon? One of the newest additions to the Tisbury Marketplace is Not Your Sugar Mamas, which is a raw chocolatier company.

Most products are gluten-free, dairy-free, and sugar-free.
