Nantucket is a quintessential New England island that captivates with its charm and coastal chic tranquility. Accessible by ferry or plane from Cape Cod, this picturesque island offers a peaceful retreat. Upon arrival, visitors are greeted by cobblestone streets lined with historic whaling captain's mansions, boutiques, and restaurants. These are the best reasons to visit Nantucket, Massachusetts.

We sat down with Executive Chef Mark Adams of Rose and Crown in Nantucket, Massachusetts. The restaurant began its life as a livery stable for horses and carriages in the 1800s. During the next 150 years, 23 South Water Street served as a gas station and an art studio. In the 70s, it became the Rose & Crown. "The Crown," has been serving islanders and visitors for the past 40+ years.
