It’s official, the Obamas are coming! They have decided to vacation on Martha’s Vineyard and I couldn’t be more excited. I was thinking of ways that I could be of help to the President and first family and it occurred to me that the best way to serve my country would be to offer my advice on where they should eat during their time here.

The most important meal of the day is breakfast and with all the activities that will be happening , the first family should fill up in the morning for energy throughout the day. I highly recommend Waterside Market on Main Street in Vineyard Haven. The portions are huge and they have everything from banana pancakes to wheat wraps to fruit salad. Fresh coffee or espresso, bottled juices and water and you have fed the foundation of your day.

For lunch, I’m thinking a picnic would be nice. Perhaps on the beach or gardenside at the farm. Fella’s Takeout in West Tisbury makes truly fabulous sandwiches. My favorite is the roasted turkey sandwich in a wheat wrap, it comes with bacon, avocado, romaine, tomato and chipotle mayo. Michelle Obama will have many delicious and healthy options here for the whole first family. Call ahead as the lunch hour can be crowded with sandwich seekers.

Since the Obamas are on vacation and probably are going to be off their regular dining routine, let’s throw in an afternoon snack for the girls. Off to Edgartown to watch the boats in the harbor and do some shopping, why not stop at Mac Phails’s Corner Café for one of their fresh baked brownies or cookies. The treats are huge and can be shared if Michelle and the President don’t want Sasha and Malia to ruin their appetites for dinner.

Speaking of dinner, where should the first family eat the last meal of the day? I think Jimmy Seas is the way to go. Chef owned and operated Jimmy Seas Pan Pasta Restaurant has been an Oak Bluffs favorite for seventeen years and counting. Pasta dishes cooked al dente to order and are served fresh in the same pan. A reservation is a must for the first family and anyone else wanting to eat at Jimmy Seas, crowded is an understatement but well worth it.

And for Desert? A drive up island to watch the sunset and get some soft serve at the Galley in Menemsha. I think we’ve covered some delicious option for not only the Obamas but for anyone visiting Martha’s Vineyard. However, if President Obama and the first family need any more suggestions for where to eat or should they need someone to guide them through the menus of the island, please let them know that I am here and waiting to serve.
