Main Street staycation: Explore Northport’s restaurants, shops and more
In Northport, old-world charm lingers along Main Street in this postcard-perfect Long Island maritime village. Century-old trolley tracks from its horse-drawn days are still embedded in the road. A sweet shop still serves countertop classics like root beer floats the way it has since 1929. A bar once frequented by Beat novelist Jack Kerouac still houses a cigarette vending machine. And a gazebo in the park, tucked between the harbor and a playground, has welcomed generations of visitors who come to sit, stroll and savor the waterfront. Spend a day here, and it’s easy to feel like you’ve stepped into a Norman Rockwell painting.
Northport has evolved, too. Main Street features new restaurants, shops and a boutique hotel that make it easy to turn a day trip into a staycation. Yet the town’s charm endures, drawing Long Islanders back again and again for an afternoon by the water or a full weekend getaway. Here’s how to explore, eat and unwind in this quintessential Long Island town.
