North Fork Recommendations for Memorial Day

Memorial Day is finally here, the start of the summer season regardless of weather…..

Start your weekend at the Greenport Farmers Market, a real treat for families and folks out for the weekend. The Greenport Library is right down the block with an excellent children’s room for a rest or the inquisitive child. Located at the Greenport United Methodist Church parking lot, 622 1st Street, Greenport the Farmers Market offers locally grown and produced vegetables, poultry, eggs, shellfish, cheese, bread, wine, preserves, and more. http://www.greenportfarmersmarket.com/

While you are in Greenport stop in at the East End Seaport Museum located at the foot of Third Street in the former railroad station adjacent to the Shelter Island Ferry Dock. The Museum offers a variety of lighthouse cruises including the popular Bug Light House Excursion.  Each cruise begins with a welcome at the museum, where participants get their boarding passes and see the actual Fresnel lenses of Plum Island and Little Gull lighthouses. http://www.eastendseaport.org/Lighthouse_Cruises.php

Next stop is the Chowder Fest 2014, at First & Main St. in New Suffolk sponsored by the New Suffolk Waterfront Organization which is offering locally prepared chowder and bar-b-que with live music and children’s activities from noon to 3 pm on Saturday (rain date is Sunday). All proceeds benefit the restoration and revitalization of the New Suffolk waterfront www.newsuffolkwaterfront.org

Our lunch recommendation this week if you don’t want the Chowder is the Elbow East at Kenney’s Beach right at a wonderful sound beach. Located right at the end of Kenney’s Road on North Sea Drive in Southold the Burgers and pub food fare and steaks for diner is worth the trip and the kids can run out their energy on the beach. www.elboweast.com

Dinner takes us to another old favorite The Old Mill Inn on the Mattituck Inlet operating since 1821. Located at 5775 W. Mill Road in Mattituck the Old Mill overlooks the end of the inlet to the sound and the parked fishing fleet and fishing charters. www.TheOldMillInn.net

If you are staying over for the weekend you can end the day with Fireworks in Greenport. The annual Memorial Day Fireworks show will be held on the school grounds (720 Front Street) and kicks off at 10PM but there will be plenty to do and enjoy while you are waiting.

I don’t see real estate fitting into this weekend for you but I am on call if you are interested because I am always ready when it comes to real estate.

The first 25 folks to stop into my office can pick up a folder with other events and some real estate brochures for a future visit.
