One of the Jumping night spots on Nantucket is LoLa 41 on South Beach Street (the name implies LOngitude and LAtitude and 41 degrees). It has a well deserved reputation for being a place to see and be seen. It is a don't miss destination if you like the beautiful people, or are one. We had a great experience there tonight mostly because of the attentive service, the small private room we were provided, and the people we were with. Their Edamame is memorable, and the portion is huge. We had a nice bottle of Pino Noir albeit pricy at $90, a third of our final bill for the evening. I do have a weakness for pasta and the Mac and Cheese tradition is alive and well in Nantucket. My grand babies had some at lunch at the Even Keel on Main Street today but the chef there made it even more cholesterol laden by forming it into little balls, coating it in bread crumbs, and then deep fat frying it. LoLa did not bread it or deep fat fry it, but there was no shortage of oil. This is a tasty treat but I took half of it home because my gallbladder said that I should. I will let you know how it ages in the fridge over night and emerges for breakfast. A full cereal bowl size dish of their Mac and Cheese cost $22. Kraft Easy Mac costs $3.50 at the Grand Union. But you have to take it home to cook it. And there are no beautiful people and nice music to make the event more enjoyable as there are at LoLa 41. Pay the $22 and have a nice time. They have a parking lot next door, but it's a short walk from downtown for those who prefer to work off their Mac and Cheese on the way home.
