EAST END BUZZ » bars http://eastendbuzz.com Experience The North Fork of Long Island, NY Wed, 17 Feb 2010 20:20:05 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 open secrets http://eastendbuzz.com/2008/05/local-secrets/ http://eastendbuzz.com/2008/05/local-secrets/#comments Mon, 26 May 2008 22:11:14 +0000 joanna http://eastendbuzz.com/2008/05/26/local-secrets/ Relax on the waterside deck of The Old Mill Inn with your favorite cocktail and enjoy the real charm of the North Fork lifestyle. There’s an inhabited osprey nest across the inlet and jumping stripe bass in the water. Unwind while watching boaters and fishermen pass by with the day’s catch at a leisurely pace – this is a “no wake” zone. Take a deep breath, unwind and let nature work its magic. Tucked away on the west side of Mattituck Inlet, this Inn was reputedly a romantic hideout for Clark Gable and Carole Lombard. It remains to this day ever so slightly under the radar, easily accessible by boat for lunch, and worth going the extra two miles by car for a comfortable atmosphere and serious food experience. Catch fun times in the pub listening to live music or relaxing by the fire, and don’t be surprised if you are asked to lend a hand unloading the lobster pots. This is the slow travel you have been looking for. Click here for the website.
