Enjoying a Fall afternoon in Greenport, New York
After spending the morning shopping for fruits and veggies at the local This afternoon seemed like the perfect day to start to do some shopping and what better way than exploring downtown Greenport, here are some of my favorite shops I found:
Burton's Book Store, 43 Front St, Greenport, NY 11944
This adorable book store has a great variety of children’s books, along with creative toys for little ones. If you are looking to grow your home library or have any children who would enjoy creative and unique books it is definitely worth taking a look!
The Times Vintage, 429 Main St, Greenport, NY 11944
If you are on the hunt for a good vinyl record, search no more this awesome vintage store has quite a bit of great records! I was a huge fan of the artwork that was hung on the walls and the clothing!
If your wardrobe is in need of a hint of vintage I would highly suggest checking this place out! They have some amazing pieces of clothing that will add a extra pop of color to your outfits!
Sweet Indulgences, 200 Main St, Greenport, NY 11944
Just across the street is Sweet Indulgences, a adorable little candy store filled with chocolates and charming little knick knacks to bring home as souvenirs or as gifts.
After shopping and exploring you might start to get a bit hungry for a meal or even a snack. Downtown Greenport has a handful or restaurants that consists of different price ranges, a few that are more budget friendly include:
Crazy Beans, Front Street, Greenport, NY
Crazy Beans is a coffee shop/ restaurant located in the center of downtown just across from the Marina. When you walk in you have the option of ordering to go at the bar or getting seated at the restaurant, the food they serve here is diner food with fairly large portions and reasonable prices.
D'Latte Cafe
Around lunchtime we walked over to D'Latte Cafe for a coffee break. We first stopped by Crazy Beans but they were super packed during lunch rush and our wait was going to be quite long so we decided to walk across the street to grab a coffee and a snack.
They had an assortment of pastries that all looked delicious, and prepackaged snacks and goodies. The coffee and cold drinks were reasonably priced, just the fresh baked treats were more on the pricey side, roughly $7.00 a tart or $4.00 a cookie, if you’re sticking to a budget I would definitely split a treat since they are a decent size.
There’s a couple of museums you might want to check out such as Greenport’s first schoolhouse, the 1840 Schoolhouse Museum, or the Stirling Historical Society Museum-Ireland House, where you can tour and see what life was like in the early-1830s in a original Greenport home.
The Village Blacksmith, 101 Front St, Greenport, NY 11944
The Village Blacksmith located next to Mitchell Park is charming replica of a building that stood in the 1870s. The shop is open on the weekends for people to visit. For a small donation of $2.00 you can watch the blacksmith work and learn about the trade of blacksmithing.
Greenport Jail, 232 Carpenter St, Greenport, NY 11944
This early 1900s jail holds photos and memorabilia from the Greenport Police Department which is now closed but groups or classes can call the Village of Greenport to make reservations for a tour.
There is plenty of seating to relax and watch the boats sail in the marina, there also happens to be a indoor carousel located in the center of Mitchell Park.
While visiting Greenport we happened to notice there wasn’t any restrooms available to the public. We went to a few stores, a coffee shop, and even a grocery store until we grabbed a map of downtown when we saw there was public restrooms located in Mitchell Park (right behind the Village Blacksmith).
Within Mitchell Park there is a old fashion carousel built in 1920. For just $2.00 a person you can enjoy a 15 minute ride, try your chance at grabbing a brass ring to get a free ride! If you don’t feel like riding, take a seat at a bench and people watch while relaxing.
