Greenport
A North Fork harbor town with a vintage carousel, fishing docks and seafood restaurants; ferries connect to Shelter Island.
Greenport is an old fishing and boatbuilding town at the eastern end of the North Fork. Along its Front Street and Main Street are boutiques, oyster bars and ice cream shops. The vintage carousel on the Mitchell Park waterfront, built in the 1920s and housed in a glass pavilion, is the town's emblem, and there is an ice rink in winter. From the pier, a ferry takes about 10 minutes to Shelter Island, and another ferry continues to Sag Harbor, a classic route linking the South and North Forks. The Long Island Rail Road terminal is also here, making Greenport a good place to end a North Fork winery day trip.
