Things To Do
Rye Town
Picturesque Rye was founded in 1660. It's fun to stroll Purchase Street for shopping (Palmer on Purchase and Great Stuff for clothing; Pink for home and gifts; Arcade Books). For breakfast, there is The Granola Bar, Le Pain Quotidien, old-school diner Poppy's Cafe, or grab a bacon, egg & cheese to go at Rockridge Deli. Aurora, Rafele, and Ruby's Oyster Bar are nice lunch options. If you are craving a New York slice, don't miss Sunrise Pizza, our favorite. Also, Longford's Ice Cream is a town favorite for locally made ice cream and seasonal flavors. The Rye Grill & Bar is right next to the train station and is open every day from 11:30 am until last call. You can stroll the boardwalk by the Long Island Sound at Rye Beach and glimpse Playland Amusement Park that opened in 1928. Also in Rye is the 23-acre Jay Heritage Center. It was the home of John Jay, a founding father, diplomat, and first Chief Justice of the United States.
Greenwich Avenue
Greenwich Avenue, or "The Ave.," is a mile-long street known for its high-end shopping and specialty stores and endless dining options. Before becoming a glamorous social strip, Greenwich Avenue in the 1700s was a cow path down to the sea. The shopping is definitely on the expensive and upscale side, but you will also find specialty designer brands, some fast fashion stores, and endless options for food. For breakfast or lunch, try Meli-Melo, a local favorite French cafe and creperie with amazing homemade soups and pastries. Le Penguin, Grigg Street Pizza, or Hinoki are also great for lunch. For quick and delicious sandwiches, check out Something Natural. If you're into shopping, check out Richards, a family-owned luxury department store, Splurge for gifts and more, or Consigned Designs for fun high-end consignment. You'll also find staples like Zara, J. Crew, Saks Fifth Avenue, Aritzia, and more on the Ave.
