The Hospital Thrift Surprise

Venturing beyond the Hamptons to Greenport reveals amazing thrifting opportunities. The Eastern Long Island Hospital Opportunity Shop, tucked away in a parking lot just off the ferry, holds incredible gems. I've found Ferragamo heels, gorgeous blazers for around $20, and even Tiffany & Co plates there over the years.

The Cash-Only Adventure

This hidden treasure operates on cash only, so come prepared with actual money in your wallet. While less organized than the Hamptons shops, the slight chaos creates perfect hunting grounds for serious thrifters willing to dig for treasures others might miss.

The Day Trip Experience

Make a full experience by combining thrifting with Greenport's other delights. After treasure hunting, I love visiting Noah's restaurant for their farm-to-table Mediterranean-inspired cuisine. Their seasonal cocktails, like spring's strawberry-basil martini, perfectly complement the fresh, healthy dishes.

Inside Tip 📌

Look for the shop immediately after getting off the ferry in a back parking lot that's easy to miss. Bring at least $100 in cash - you'll be shocked at what designer treasures you can find at a fraction of Hamptons prices. The disorganization works in your favor as incredible pieces often get overlooked!
