Sushi Sean’s Shop for tuna nachos
A graduate of the Tokyo Sushi Academy in Tsukiji, Tokyo, Japan, the eponymous Sean has been serving his signature selection on Nantucket for nine years. John’s recommendation? “Don’t skip the tuna nachos.”

Chanticleer for an out-of-town escape
This elegant restaurant in dreamy Sconset is a favorite of John. “Request a table in their pub room if it’s chilly,” he recommends, “or in the rose garden on a warm summer night.”

Roastd General Store for matcha
Nantucket’s premier spot for wellness and specialty food also has an extensive and creative coffee offering. “I get my matcha here,” says John. “They roast their own milk.”

Whaling Museum for culture and history
“Nantucket has a fascinating history, which many people don’t know about,” says John. He recommends starting at the Whaling Museum, located one block from Greydon House. Discover over 1,000 works of art, a 46-foot sperm whale skeleton, a massive Fresnel lens, and a restored 1847 candle factory across nine galleries that offer a glimpse into Nantucket’s past.

Linda Loring Nature Center for Nantucket’s wild side
Several organizations ensure the preservation of Nantucket, and nearly half of the island is open space. John recommends visiting the Linda Loring Nature Center, which conducts research, education, and stewardship of 275 acres. “I love to take my daughter, Regina, on the Story Walk.”
