Now in its second year, the annual Greenport Holiday Festival began when
a group of Greenport businesses got together to bring to the village an
extended season of activity centered around its historic maritime past
as well as introduce the town’s lovely diverse present. Working as a
sub-group of the Greenport Business Association, the holiday committee
members – Leueen Millerd, Nancy Curtin, Kathleen Bifulco and Caroline
Waloski – along with several volunteers, thought the festival would be a
great way to build tourism and help promote Greenport as the year-round
community that it is.

Sometimes you stop paying attention. Sometimes you can live somewhere
forever and forget to look around. Sometimes you just have to take a
break and enjoy your neighborhood. That's what I did recently. And it
all started with a nude drawing class I took in the spring as part of my
commitment to try new things each week for my blog, www.the52weeks.com.

East Hampton is a top contender in the global real estate market for
several reasons, one being its close proximity to New York City and the
ease of getting back and forth by Hampton Jitney, limousine, or
helicopter. There is even the option of taking an amphibious seaplane,
via Aquatica Aviation, directly from East Hampton to the East River in
only 45 minutes! Another reason is the sheer beauty of East Hampton's
landscape, with its nearby ocean beaches and surrounding farmlands,
where visitors are reminded that there really is a kinder, gentler life.
National Geographic named East Hampton "America's Most Beautiful
Village," in part because of its charming Norman Rockwell-like backdrop:
centuries-old buildings line the streets, one after the other, and the
beautiful town pond has the ever-present swans during the warm days
while winter evenings there provide a romantic setting as ice skaters
gracefully spin and twirl under the soft glow of the streetlights.
