The only thing better than biting into a delicious lobster roll is doing so while watching a beautiful sunset! Duryea’s is on both forks, with locations in Orient (opening for the season May 18th) and Montauk (opening for the season May 11th), overlooking the Long Island Sound. The combination of fresh seafood and bay views makes it one of the best dining experiences on Long Island. Add a little rosé to the mix and the perfect vibe is set.
