Hipster Greenport: 4 places to eat, shop and visit
Greenport may date back to the 1630s, but it's feeling pretty of-the-moment right now. Here are four places that embody the old-meets-new energy of the village:
Claudio's
If you’ve been to Greenport, you can't miss Claudio's - it's where generations of Long Islanders have made a tradition of eating, whether inside the main restaurant or at the floating dock-bar. The new owners have added fresh elements: Baccano Pizza by Nino, which offers a variety of slices and pies until as late as 2 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays - is right by the dock entrance.
Little Creek Oyster Farm & Market
It's little spots like this that tell the current Greenport story. There’s no sign or advertising for this tiny bouse changed from the cabin of an old ship that's practically hidden down Bootlegger's
Alley near Mitchell Park. But there they are - streams of people who come to enjoy the fresh oysters while drinking local craft beer, with a waterside view.
Nostalgia (怀旧) for bygone times runs high in this 1909 building, which once served as the base for the Suffolk Times newspaper. These days, this well-designed Shop sells vinyl records and loads of old-fashioned clothing and home decoration items including mid-century highball sets.
Greenport Fire
Heat comes in many form and several are sold here ― hot sauces, cigars and candles, Consult the chalkboard for the current sauce offerings or browse cigars such a hand-rolled Honduran Leaf by Oscar or the Gurkha Cellar Reserve made with 18-year-aged tobacco,
