Green port is well-known for allowing visitors to both enjoy the advantages of having small town charm all while experiencing what it's like to be in an historic fishing village! As of 2010, the village located out in Suffolk County only had a population of 2,197 residents.
Pictured above you can see one of the many historic restaurants and structures that still stands in the village today, Claudio's Restaurant! If this name sounds familiar to you at all, it's most likely because Claudio's has three waterfront restaurants in Greenport! All throughout the village you can find a great deal of structures that can be found on the National Register of Historic Places.
Anyone up for some Mermaid Cocktails? While the town was once thrived off of an even larger fishing industry and things have died down quite a bit, Greenport still remains true to its roots.
