If you are coming from the South Fork, this classic spot is a short ride from the North Ferry (from Shelter Island). They do meat and cheese particularly well, but everything that comes out of the kitchen is unusually tasty. Start the day/adventure with a world class Bloody Mary adorned with large pieces of sweet bacon; do not use this as a reason to skip their unbelievable Brown Sugar Bacon side, which doubles as a dessert. Then choose from breakfast classics including Lemon Ricotta Pancakes, Avocado Toast, or even an egg sandwich; all are done with locally sourced ingredients (farms everywhere!) and done extremely well. This is the perfect base to begin your day.
