1. Times Vintage: Nestled slightly off the beaten path of Greenport Village at 429 Main St., The Times Vintage is a hidden gem of a time capsule waiting to be found.

The vintage shop, opened by father-daughter duo Elizabeth Sweigart and Michael Sweigart, opened its doors in 2013. Since its inception, it has offered a meticulously-selected inventory of lightly-used vintage clothing and furniture, as well as a vast collection of vinyl records, which Michael specializes in and oversees. Adding to its vintage charm is the building it was born and raised at which it still calls home, the 1909 Suffolk Times newspaper building.

New additions to the store include shelves, displays and its eye-catching floral dressing room doors. Elizabeth is continuing to strive for a 60s and 70s-type of charm with both the design of her shop and the eclectic clothing, furniture and vinyl records she and her father sell. 

You can follow the shop on its Instagram page, where it documents and displays its unique design and inventory. Information like its hours, which are updated seasonally, can be found on its website. Check out our full article on The Times Vintage here.
