Glad you liked Sag Harbor. Next time, if you check in with locals, you'll find places that are even better. Many of the spots in this article are popular for Manhattan folks, but not so much with the people who live here year-round. Though I agree that Baron's Cove is a great place to grab a cocktail and sit overlooking the water. If you stay for dinner, order the mussels. Harbor Market's turkey sandwich is spot-on - surprised you didn't mention that the chef earned a Michelin star in one of his prior restaurants. Canio's and the 5 and Dime are old school Sag, for sure. One advantage that Harbor Books has re: recommendations is that they often hire MFA in Writing & Literature students from the Lichtenstein Center. They read A LOT. As for tacos, there are better in town, and that other place is run by someone who's been local for years, runs several successful restaurants, and is very involved with community outreach. As with any town, the more you go back to Sag, the more new things you discover.

I've been visiting Sag Harbor multiple times a year since 2015 and I'm friends with many locals. It was a local with whom I tried the New Mexican restaurant although I do know that some people prefer K Pasa. Funny you didn't name them in your comment.

I love Sag! We also go to Baron’s every year. Also, during my last visits I Learned a lot about the African American history there as well. It’s beautiful, Historical and definitely the low key Hamptons!
