ere’s one for all the Us Weekly fans out there. Hidden behind the courthouse off the main strip in Edgartown is Espresso Love, a quaint little café, known for exotic coffee and famous clientele. With its free WiFi (for anyone who buys something, at least), it’s one of the few island hot spots where you can see Jimmy Conway and blog about it too. True stargazers will also enjoy the tree-shaded seating area that offers plenty of cover for those who plan to make a day of it. Here’s a hint: Watch for Frisbee-sized sunglasses and baseball hats. If they're not on a girl suffering from a massive hangover, they just might be disguising Meg Ryan. See if she gets the Presidential muffin. It’s good enough to bang the table over. Skidmore

Goodfellas. De Niro is a regular here, as are
Kevin Spacey and Gabriel Byrne.
