Looking for advice on New England

Don't know anything about MV or whether 2 nights might be too many or not enough. If you are going to be in Boston, Portland, ME might be a good option.

Is 2 nights to many on Martha’s Vineyard?

IMO yes, since the beach weather will be long gone. But two nights is not necessarily a bad call. It takes time and effort to get to/from MV, so two nights makes the ferrying more worth it.

I definitely wouldn't spend more than two nights though. In the absence of beach weather, there's not much to do on MV. It gets pretty dead in the off-season. And it's a pretty small island.

There are a few things I can recommend on MV.

On the Western side of the island, there is a tiny fishing town called Menemsha. There you will find a little seafood shack called Larsen's Fish Market. It is a very unassuming place. You'd have to know it's there. Get the lobster rolls for lunch there one day. It is literally lobster meat on a hot dog bun, but it was the best lobster roll I've ever eaten. I ordered another after I ate the first one.

It's pricey, but if you can swing it, eat dinner at The Terrace at the Charlotte Inn in Edgartown. One of the best meals I've ever had. Also, props to their bartender who made the best Old Fashioned I've ever drank.

For good views, there is the Aquinnah Cliffs overlook on the western end of MV.
