Antiques Row
While the South Fork’s beaches, villages, restaurants and nightlife attract many a traveler, many visitors also come to seek treasure amidst the dozens of antique shops located from Eastport to Montauk.
A haven for bric-a-brac, Eastport features antique shops on Montauk Highway (Route 27A). Many offer mahogany furniture from the early 1900s, costume jewelry, lamps, artwork and knick-knacks at reasonable prices.
Heading east into Southampton Village and Bridgehampton, the antiqu shops display estate furnishings such as period collectibles, rugs, furniture, paintings and jewelry, as well as Victorian toys. Southampton’s stores dot the village’s Main Street and Jobs Lane, while most of Bridgehampton’s shops are found within its mile-long shopping strip.
A left onto the Sag Harbor Turnpike in Bridgehampton takes you up to the seafaring village of Sag Harbor. This village’s whaling history begins at the wharf and leads up through Main Street, with boutiques offering vintage clothing, country collectibles, English furniture, costume jewelry and fine art. Furthest east, Montauk’s shops offer similar wares, including furniture, art, quilts, dolls, china, Tiffany lamps and other memorabilia.
