Greenport Gets Its Groove

ZEY Hotel, ZErdem Restaurant, and Zey Cafe are giving Greenport a fresh East End hospitality destination, blending boutique accommodations, Mediterranean dining, and relaxed cafe culture in the heart of the village.

Greenport has always had its own rhythm. Part working harbor, part weekend escape, part North Fork village with an easygoing creative spirit, it offers a different kind of East End experience—less polished than the Hamptons, but no less appealing. Now, ZEY Hotel is adding a stylish new note to that mix.

Located on Main Street, ZEY Hotel brings boutique energy to the center of Greenport, placing guests within easy walking distance of shops, galleries, restaurants, the waterfront, and ferry connections to Shelter Island and beyond. The property is designed for travelers who want the charm of a seaside village without giving up contemporary style, comfort, or a sense of scene.

With eight rooms and two suites, ZEY Hotel offers a more intimate alternative to the traditional East End stay. The interiors are colorful, modern, and relaxed, with thoughtful amenities that make the experience feel polished without being overly formal. Guests can expect comfortable accommodations, sumptuous bedding, indulgent minibars, Egyptian cotton bathrobes, and complimentary wireless internet—details that give the property its boutique appeal.

The concept comes from owner Zach Erdem, the restaurateur behind 75 Main in Southampton, who has brought his signature hospitality sensibility to the North Fork. With ZEY Hotel, ZErdem Restaurant, and Zey Cafe, Erdem has created a connected destination that speaks to the way people like to travel now: stay somewhere stylish, eat well, linger over coffee, explore on foot, and feel plugged into the energy of the place.

At ZErdem Restaurant, located at 314 Main Street, the focus is Mediterranean-inspired dining in a warm, bistro-style setting. The menu features vibrant dips, shareable plates, kebabs, seafood, and flavors designed for an easy, social meal. Chef Elran Shrefler leads the kitchen, bringing a welcoming approach to a restaurant built for both locals and visitors looking for a relaxed but elevated dining experience.

Zey Cafe adds another layer to the destination, bringing casual cafe culture into the mix. Together, the hotel, restaurant, and cafe create a hospitality hub that feels especially suited to Greenport’s personality: stylish, walkable, social, and connected to the water.

For visitors, the location is a major part of the appeal. Greenport offers access to the North Fork’s wineries, farm stands, beaches, and harbor life, while the ferry makes Shelter Island and the Hamptons feel close enough for an easy day trip. ZEY Hotel positions guests right in the center of it all, offering a base that is both relaxed and well-connected.

With its port-town charm, contemporary design, and Mediterranean flavor, ZEY Hotel gives Greenport a fresh hospitality address for the season. It is an inviting option for travelers looking to experience the North Fork with a little more style, a little more flavor, and a very walkable sense of place.

ZEY Hotel and Zey Cafe are located at 439 Main Street, Greenport. ZErdem Restaurant is located at 314 Main Street, Greenport.
