North Fork On Winter Weekends (Marion, Greenport: restaurants, shops, beach)

Have a friend visiting from out of town for a short period of time. Already took them to the city, but would like to show them a piece of eastern Long Island. Is anything open, worth seeing this time of year out there?

Vineyards are open. Winter is my favorite time to go because there are little to no crowds.

P.S. If you like Greek food, try Hellenic in East Marion.

Is that the place where they used to have a pig roasting outside.

I personally just like going to the beach right over ponquoge bridge, bring some brews and dress warm...then drive through dune road a little ways and then back up to POW / MIA whenever you feel like it.

I never saw a pig roast but I'm not out there every week.

Greenport. The downtown is nice with little shops and restaurants and a pier you can walk around on. You could do a vineyard and Greenport easily the same day.

I have not been to the hellenic in a long time. When the weather gets warmer I may take a ride out there.

on the way back, try dinner at the Jamesport Country Kitchen. Great food.
