uuuuu The Nantucket Harbor Stop & Shop is ideally located for visitors with a boat slip or vacationing in our downtown inns and guest houses. Providing all quality ingredients, the store carries everything you need for a family barbeque or picnic. It’s also the perfect stop for a quick take-out breakfast, lunch or dinner…. enjoy it on one of the sunny benches at the wharf or take it to the beach! Plans are underway for a brand new mid-island store as well! Renowned for unique and special gifts and home accessories, Freedman’s of Nantucket always has something new! Come see the most “WOW” clock ever…with twelve miniature clocks attached to one main clock! Also new this year is a nickel-hammered serving tray surrounded by a black, tan and white buffalo horn with horns for handles. Don Freedman is usually on hand to show you his personally created marble pieces– don’t miss the pair of white marble whales! Stop by the store at 14 Centre Street while on island for a truly one-of-a-kind gift. Keep up on the latest travel information to and from the island on the Steamship Authority’s newly redesigned web site, www.steamshipauthority.com. Enhanced navigation provides quick access to ferry arrivals and departures, parking information, trip status, GPS-friendly directions and so much more. Be sure to bookmark the Steamship’s mobile web site to your mobile device for easy access while traveling to and from the island.
