Calling All Foodies on Vacation

Are you a foodie looking to visit Eastern Long Island? If so you may be looking into the best dining spots to eat in the Hamptons and not even consider visiting the North Fork. However, the North Fork is home to the quaint seaside village of Greenport that has become quite the destination for those who enjoy sampling all types of food.

Restaurants like The Frisky Oyster, the Blue Canoe and Noah's may fit the image of the Hamptons but are found right in Greenport. Even beyond the food Greenport is a great walking village for all to enjoy right on the water.

Usually when I want to learn more about a place I head to Google and do a quick search and many times end up on Wikipedia. Of course Greenport has its own Wikipedia page, but that page fails to go into detail about tourism locations. The page does mention quickly that it is the best location for foodies on the North Fork but does not explain why and specify restaurants like those mentioned above.

Greenport proves to be the hub of the North Fork Foodie culture with many acclaimed restaurants and home of the Greenport Farmers' Market, the only multi-vendor cooperative local market on the North Fork.

It's good to know about the Farmers' Market and that it is a good place for foodies to check out but the lack of detail about why exactly the restaurants are special needed to be addressed. In my continued hope to help out visitors to the area with my native knowledge I added details to the Wikipedia page to try and make it more helpful.

Greenport proves to be the hub of the North Fork Foodie culture with many acclaimed restaurants. Noah's, The Frisky Oyster, The Blue Canoe and First and South all rank among new and acclaimed restaurants on the North Fork in the village. It is also the home of the Greenport Farmers' Market, the only multi-vendor cooperative local market on the North Fork. Greenport is also home to Claudio's Restaurant, Clam Bar and Crabby Jerry's, all three are located on the water and serve less upscale food. Claudio's Restaurant believes themselves to be the oldest single family owned restaurant in the United States.

I added the specific restaurants because I believe someone looking to check out Greenport would want more details when planning their trip. I also added the part about Claudio's and its compound because while it is not new or does not feature the same upscale food as the other restaurants it is a Greenport staple worth mentioning.

If you are a foodie heading to Eastern Long Island do not dismiss Greenport. Check out the restaurants mentioned above and feel very free to consult Wikipedia concerning the village now that the page has a few more details.
