Out on Long Island, we love to visit quiet little villages along the waterfront like Greenport - a historic fishing town that was settled all the way back in 1682. With that said, unsurprisingly many of the restaurants in town have been around for ages and have earned well-known followings. If you've ever wanted to explore this beautiful waterfront town, New York's winter AKA the off-season makes for a delightful time to visit.

An underrated gem that you'll wish you could have all to yourself, find out what it's like when the tourists are away and the locals start to play...or should I say eat!

Out along the waterfront where things are peaceful and the views are so stunning you'll be at a loss for words, Little Creek Oyster Farm & Market offers one of the most memorable dining experiences in New York.

Inside this little harborside cottage, you'll find not only a tiny market filled with locally-made goods but also a great place to eat!

Offering all different kinds of oysters, anyone who chooses to dine here will get a delicious taste of New York and what Long Island has to offer.

Open all throughout the year, during this time of year when it's the off-season you'll find that things are even more quiet - but the food remains delicious as ever.

Little Creek offers a casual dining environment, where their fun "Shuck Yourself" slogan will give you a good laugh - something you'll find printed all over their glass and items.

In true seaside fashion, Little Creek also offers things like delicious chowders and crab rolls that are noteworthy and worth feasting on.

Of course, though the whole reason why you'll want to come here is because of the unique dining experience that they feature.

That's right! At Little Creek Oyster Farm you can actually shuck your own oysters.

While you and all of your friends and family are here, you'll be given a kit that provides you with several oyster knives and knife-proof gloves.

Providing you with helpful tips and instructions if needed, before you know it you'll be dining on oysters you just shucked all on your own.

If you can't wait until summer to hang out by the water and enjoy the best tasting oysters, hit the road and head to Little Creek Oyster Farm & Market in Greenport.
