After watching The Five-Star Weekendon Peacock, I have to admit, I really want to visit Nantucket now. The Jennifer Garner-led series is based on the bestselling novel by Elin Hildenbrand, who has featured the Massachusetts island in several of her books. Even though Garner's character, Hollis, is a cook and best-selling author, she and her girlfriends find plenty of time to eat, drink, and be merry outside her Nantucket beach house.
The series filmed partially on-location, featuring several local businesses that are hits not only among the locals but also with the tourists that frequent the island off Cape Cod, but which locations on the show were real and which were not? We take a look at some of the local businesses featured in the Peacock series below.
