If you’ve ever eaten a lobster roll on the waterfront here or celebrated a special occasion you know North Fork restaurants do both casual and spectacular well.
For our second Best of the North Fork contest, the northforker team once again came up with our favorites in 50 categories covering everything from the best wineries to musical acts, parks and gourmet pizza pies.
Today, we’re focusing our attention on our selections in the Best of Eat categories, which highlight the best food on the North Fork.
Now that you have our list, it’s your turn to weigh in. Vote for your favorites in our Readers’ Choice Awards poll. You can vote once per email and voting closes at noon on Wednesday, July 20.
