Check out this Forbes article on our very own Greenport being one of the prettiest towns in the country! Maybe this means my house will be worth what we bought it for again?? HA!
"But hidden away at the tip of the North Fork, far from the famous and the fatuous, is a town that perfectly mixes unpretentious Americana with the trappings of the modern food and wine scene.

“Things are much more low-key along the Peconic Bay on the North Fork,” says Jason Clampet, online editor at Frommer’s.com. “Although Manhattanites have brought art galleries and coffeeshops with them, Greenport’s small inns, pebbly beaches, and fishing heritage still cater to visitors who’d rather relax than star-gaze.”
