Looking for a place to stay that will make you feel as if you’re a VIP even if you’re not? Aqua by American Beech is the place. But it gets better—the hotel also houses a fabulous restaurant, American Beech and the Black Llama Cocktail Bar. You know what this means? You won’t have to leave the property once you arrive (unless, of course, you want to). Aqua by American Beech is an experience from the moment you check-in until the moment you check-out. Situated right on the Peconic Bay, the hotel has direct beach access; a dockside lawn and garden; and beach chaises and hammocks. There’s also a spa. Relaxation at its finest and most elegant? We will take that.
For the perfect RHONY evening, head to Black Llama Cocktail Bar for a pre-dinner drink. Choose from some of the fabulous signature seasonal cocktails, like the Return of the Mac and the Beech Palm Punch or grab a chilled glass of Champagne. But whatever you do, definitely make like Ramona Singer and order yourself some oysters to start. Oysters are never a bad idea.
After cocktails, make your way over to American Beech for the main course. The menu is created with local, market fresh ingredients showcasing some of the best of what the North Fork has to offer. Start with more oysters (we see you, Ramona) or a fresh watermelon salad. Finish with the doughnut cake. You will not regret it.
Alternative: If you’re looking to still stay in Greenport but American Beech isn’t an option, check out Sound View. For dinner and a great beach bar (both Low Tide and Jack’s Beach Shack are located here), look to The Halyard for a complete experience.
