And Now, Fresh Clams and Salty Air
HAMPTONS-BOUND traffic in the summer is a sweaty, hectic, BMW-infested mess. But that’s not your problem. As you soar down the Long Island Expressway, past the long line of frustrated New Yorkers waiting to disembark at Exit 70, grin and wave, because you’re not going to the Hamptons, pal. You’re headed for the North Fork — and straight to Claudio’s Clam Bar.
Land of fried-clam-cold-beer-live-music-and-raw-oyster gloriousness, Claudio’s Clam Bar sits at the edge of vast expanses of farmland, past sweeping vineyards. Eight miles from the tip of Long Island’s North Fork, the Clam Bar is nestled on a wharf that juts 400 feet into Peconic Bay, in quaint Greenport. The village, founded in 1640, was recently listed as one of America’s “prettiest towns” by Forbes magazine.
Indeed, the Clam Bar, about two hours from the city, is a low-brow place with high-brow views. Look one way, and seabirds and sailboats streak through sunsets worthy of a watercolor. Look another, and there’s your buddy downing a tequila shot and strumming his air guitar along with the band. Look again and, wait, is that Sean Connery? In the distance, a sculpture of an osprey perches serenely atop steel girders salvaged from the World Trade Center.
The Clam Bar is part of a small harbor-side empire owned and operated by the Claudio family since 1870, when an ancestor opened Claudio’s Restaurant. Today, the restaurant, steps from the relatively modest Clam Bar, is the oldest same-family-run dining establishment in the United States, according to the Claudios, and is the crown jewel in their beach business portfolio.
