Things to Do in Greenport
The town of Greenport, a beacon of the bucolic North Fork, is surrounded by wineries and farm stands and bursting at the seams with restaurants and boutiques marked by resolute mom-and-pop charm. From our inn’s doorstep, we invite you to unplug and settle into the village life: see through a local’s eyes, taste what is homegrown, listen to the harborfront’s rhythm, and do not leave until you’ve lived.
