While many people wait until Valentines Day or spring to take a romantic holiday, we’re firm believers that no time is the wrong time for a romantic Long Island getaway!
Taking a romantic Long Island getaway “off-season” may sound a little odd but there are many compelling reasons to do so – one of the very best being that it is, indeed, “off-season!”
The second annual Taste North Fork event – scheduled for Veteran’s Day Weekend, Saturday & Sunday, November 8th & 9th, 2014 – is going to be bigger than ever with over 40 participating wineries, restaurants, and more!
Last year’s Taste North Fork celebration was such a success that it continues this year, showcasing the very best that the North Fork has to offer with food and wine events, classes and demonstrations, and activities surrounding the rich and beautiful North Fork culture and traditions.
If you like the idea of locally grown and prepared foods, plus a community-oriented, carnival-like atmosphere, then the Greenport Farmers Market is for you!
“From the North Fork to Your Fork” is the motto of the Greenport Farmers Market – and what a forkful! You’ll find all manner of organic and local items at the Greenport Farmers Market: artisanal sparkling fruit juice beverages from Captains Neck & Co.; fruit veggies, meat and eggs from Catapano Farms, Hodun Farms, and Mar-Gene Farm; delicious baked goods from Jeannie’s Treats; fresh, eastern Long Island oysters from Race Rock Oysters – and so much more!
The Greenport Maritime Festival is three days of fun in the sun for everyone, September 19th, 20th, and 21st, 2014!
The 2014 Greenport Maritime Festival features classic wooden boats, local produce and seafood, fine wines and craft beer, fireworks displays, and trips out to the Bug Light lighthouse! There are also plenty of activities for the family with nautical arts and crafts, live music, raffles, pirate shows, demonstrations, and much more!
And it’s not just the Maritime Museum. Other attractions and Greenport businesses involved in the Greenport Maritime Festival include the Railroad Museum of Long Island, the Greenport Village Blacksmith Shop, the Firefighter Fireboat Museum, the Old Greenport Jail, Greenport’s Antique Carousel, Mitchell Park’s Camera Obscura, and numerous shops and restaurants in the Village of Greenport!
As you walk along the Greenport Village waterfront, a beautiful, red ship draws your eye. It’s Greenport’s Fire Fighter Fireboat Museum!
The Fire Fighter Fireboat Museum is a fireboat that was used in front line service for over seven decades in New York Harbor. During her time in service, she was the most award-decorated fireboat in the world and, at the time of her decommissioning, she was the second oldest fireboat in the world still active in front-line service.
As spring approaches and the weather warms, we here at Arbor View House Bed and Breakfast look forward to the season ahead and what we can do to make it as special as it was during the previous years. Looking back over our past guests experiences always cheers us up because we have such a great time doing what we do … and it is a great feeling seeing that we are not the only ones who enjoy ourselves here!
Arbor View House is more than just an award-winning, North Fork bed and breakfast – we’re also a Long Island Spa, offering a wide range of massages and other spa services.
Services available at our Long Island Spa include:
If you find yourself anywhere near Greenport Village on Long Island, give yourself a treat by visiting Mitchel Park and take a ride on Greenport’s antique carousel!
As the term “antique” implies, this is not your average attraction. Housed in a specially built glass pavilion, the Jess Owen Carousel House is a ticket back to the golden age of carnival rides.
Long Island’s North Fork is home to the only astronomical observatory on the island – The Custer Institute and Observatory.
With the first building going up in 1939, The Custer Institute has been Long Island’s gateway to the stars for almost 80 years. From the first day, they drew public interest – and why not? Those stars up there are not just beautiful but mysterious!
Located in the former railroad station adjacent to the North Ferry Terminal, the East End Seaport Museum and Marine Foundation features an ever-expanding array of maritime collections.
