Hidden Gem: 67 Steps Beach in Greenport

Image
Having recently moved to Long Island's North Fork, I've been eagerly exploring its hidden gems, and 67 Steps Beach in Greenport quickly became one of my favorite spots. This beach is ideal for anyone looking to escape from the chaos. Whether tanning in the sun during the day or watching the sunset at night, 67 Steps Beach has something beautiful to offer.  Arriving at 67 Steps Beach during the day, I was greeted by a very small parking area with lots of trees and bushes. I wasn't expecting much until I walked closer and saw a series of 67 wooden steps that descended through the greenery. The descent, though just 67 steps, felt like a journey to a secret paradise. At the bottom, the sight that you see is nothing short of breathtaking. The beach stretches out with sand and rocks of all sizes. The water was a beautiful deep blue and cool, perfect for a swim on a warm summer day. I couldn't resist the urge to swim, as there were a few other people in the water. The beach...

Country Comfort: NoFo Pot Pies Country Market

Image
Since moving to Long Island and settling into life on the North Fork, I've been trying out many new places. One of my favorite restaurants so far has been Cooperage Inn in Calverton. This restaurant gives off cozy vibes as it is a cabin decorated like you are at your grandmother's house. They serve all different types of comfort food such as pot roast, mashed potatoes, pasta, soups, and much more. But what they are known for is their homemade pot pies. While this restaurant is far from my house, my family and I make the trip often to pick up a pot pie for dinner. That is why I was so excited to hear about them opening a market closer to home.  Eager to explore, I visited NoFo Pot Pies Country Market in Mattituck. This market brings the flavors of their famous pot pies - available in chicken, seafood, turkey, short rib, chicken marsala, and vegetables right to your doorstep. Stepping into NoFo Pot Pies, I immediately noticed the various freezers filled with various frozen meals ...

Sweet Escapes: A Visit to Ralph's Italian Ices of Greenport

Image
As part of my exploration of the North Fork of Long Island, I recently visited Ralph's Italian Ices in Greenport, and it was an experience worth sharing. This spot is more than just a place to get Italian ice as it has almost any sweet treat you can think of.  Upon entering Ralph's, I was immediately struck by the vibrant display of flavor options. The menu has an impressive selection of choices that anyone can find something they would love. From traditional Italian ice to creamy soft serve and decadent ice cream, Ralph’s has something for everyone. But it doesn’t stop there as their selection also includes cream ice, which I have never heard of before. Creme ice is a combination of Italian ice and 1% milk, as it makes a less creamy consistency than ice cream but still has an amazing taste. The variety of flavors was so extensive that I could not make up my mind. Luckily, I was able to sample a few flavors. The staff at Ralph's were very welcoming and even recommended some...
