HORTONS POINT BEACH
3500 Lighthouse Road, Southold, NY 11971

If you have extra time during your visit, we’d love for you to see a place close to our hearts: Horton’s Point, where we got engaged. It’s a beautiful spot for a peaceful walk, watching the waves, or catching the sunset. The best time to visit is around sunset or early morning. Just be prepared to walk down a long staircase to get there!
Dine
IL GIARDINO
739 Main Road, Aquebogue, NY 11931
We feel like we're having a home cooked meal when we eat here! This Sicilian restaurant is located in a converted house so it is very fitting. The bread service is a homemade garlic knot that we can't resist asking for more.
LEGENDS
835 1st Street, New Suffolk, NY 11956
There are two sides to the restaurant depending on what your vibe is: nice dining or a casual sports bar. We've been there for both occasions and love it! The food is great and after dinner you can take a walk across the street to the water.
BRUCE AND SON
208 Main Street, Greenport, NY 11944​
Our favorite spot to go for breakfast or lunch. It's not your average cafe. They have unique takes on typical dishes and a short seasonal menu. Pictured is Joey's 29th birthday breakfast at Bruce and Son. As you can see, he loves it! Highly recommend the candied bacon and definitely consider making a reservation as they can get busy.
PORT WATERFRONT BAR & GRILL
104 3rd Street, Greenport, NY 11944
The best spot for a casual waterfront lunch or dinner. The entire restaurant is outside so it's only open this time of the year. After eating, you can walk along the water and further into the town of Greenport. Joey loves their baked clams and Valentina's go-to order is the tuna poke bowl. Add a spicy marg in the mix and you're golden!
PORTO BELLO
1410 Manhanset Avenue, Greenport, NY 11944​

If you want a more upscale waterfront dining, this is the place! You can sit inside or outside overlooking Stirling Harbor marina. This is where Joey surprised Valentina with both of our families to celebrate our engagement. The Garcias have been dining at Port Bello for so long that Valentina's parents had their wedding rehearsal dinner here.
Treat
MAGIC FOUNTAIN
9825 Main Rd, Mattituck, NY 11952​​
The best ice cream on the North Fork! There is usually a line out the door in the summer but it moves quickly and is definitely worth it. You can't go wrong with vanilla and rainbow sprinkles (we both love this classic combo!) but they have so many crazy flavors.
COUNTRY VIEW FARM STAND
57995 Main Rd, Southold, NY 11971​​

Not only is this our go-to farm stand for fresh produce but we think their pies are the best! Our personal favorite desserts are their blueberry crumb pie, marble cake, zucchini loaf and their mini crumb cakes. The blueberry crumb is so popular there that we had to reserve it before it sold out!!
