On this episode of NOFO LIVE , we’re excited to welcome 𝗦𝗶𝗹𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗦𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝗠𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗹 — the iconic 1950s Greenport landmark that was lovingly restored. After a 14-month restoration, owner & creative director Alexander Perros and his team have reimagined Silver Sands as a serene, meadow-like retreat that honors its 1957 roots. From the glowing neon sign to 1,400 feet of private sandy beach, warm hospitality, and eco-minded design, Silver Sands is a celebration of local history and the natural beauty of the Peconic Bay. 🍽 On-site dining by Executive Chef Finn O’Hara (formerly of the Michelin-starred Four Horsemen) brings this ethos to life with seasonal, coastal menus at: • 𝗡𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗶𝗲𝘀 • 𝗘𝗱𝗱𝗶𝗲’𝘀 • 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗼𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗲 Ingredients are sourced straight from land and sea — including their own Pipes Cove Oysters from their 15-acre farm. 🐌 NEW: Silver Sands recently received the Snail of Approval from Slow Food East End, recognizing their commitment to good, clean, and fair food. Listen in to our conversation about it all - sneak peek at their newest wellness spa addition and who knows perhaps you can be the one to help connect the beautiful image on the wall in the diner to its original owners.
