We’ve all been there: a couple of hours of boating and suddenly it’s lunch or dinner time…and your guests are hinting that your cheese and crackers just aren’t cutting it.
Fortunately, eastern Long Island’s coast is populated by many “dock and dine” restaurants, from Eastport through Hampton Bays, Sag Harbor, East Hampton, Shelter Island, Noyac and Greenport.
We’ve included a few of our favorites here, but we’d love to hear about your selections too! Facebook us, or e-mail us at info@modernyachtsny.com.
