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.
Celebrating nearly 20 years of going green, GLORY is an eco-friendly boat that's actually solar powered. Wow! The vessel has been giving tours out on the Peconic Bay since 1999 and may just be one of the most charming boats you ever step foot on. Running until Columbus Day, GLORY gives roughly 45-minute boat tours on Saturdays and Sundays during their current season.
Pictured above, you can see Greenport's Jail and Police Museum that now is home to historic items and photographs right next to the Greenport Harbor Brewing Company where you can grab an assortment of delicious tasting drinks.
Also pictured above, you can see the Antique Carousel in Greenport that's roughly 100 years old and right by the water! If you click here, you can view the different days and hours that the carousel is available to ride all year long.
