PHOTOS VIA VINE STREET CAFEA pleasant 5 minute ferry ride lands you on the oh so charming Shelter Island. Then another 5 minute drive takes you to the ever so charming Vine Street Cafe. With its simple, farm chic decor and its "pick anything its amazing" menu, makes this worthy of crossing a channel for. So really, try it all and let me know what you think.

PHOTO BY JONI RENTZA great new addition to Greenport that comes with delectable bit-sized portions. Since everything is so delicious on the menu it's a good thing chef Noah Schwartz decided on a tapas style menu. Go ahead, try a little bit of everything. Our favorites: the Crispy Tasmanian Red Crab Tacos, Gorgonzola Rosemary French Fries, Pulled Duck with Polenta, Warm Lobster Roll, Grilled Skirt Steak. And the Oysters, yum-me!

We love this sophisticated yet friendly Greenport storefront on Front Street. Quirky, sexy and low lit. The dining room lined with its high backed banquettes, offers a cozy dining experience mingled with the lively buzz from the bar scene upfront. Their menu, which is updated frequently, includes ingredients from the North Fork and beyond and is complemented with a small but select group of wines.
GO FOR THE Dirty Martinis and Steak Frites
GOOD TO KNOW Reservations are essential but if you haven't made them pull up a stool at the bar where the full menu is available. Also, children under 6 are not allowed, so plan on a nice romantic dinner for two.
