A Long Island classic! Seafood restaurant and bar on the pier in town. Fun live music (cover bands) during the weekend days. DJ's and a young crowd weekend nights. Local tip - across the pier is Crabby Jerry's that serves the same food and drinks, and you can listen to the music without being "in the action".

City advice
Getting around
Drive here, take the LIRR or take the Hampton Jitney.
The Hampton Jitney has an East Marion stop, walkable to the apartment. You will though need a car to get around and take the most advantage of the North Fork.
