MELET MERCANTILE : Crow's Nest, 4 Old West Lake Drive, Montauk, NY
If ever in Montauk, especially with your family, the best place to eat, relax, and watch the sunset is Crow's Nest, bar none! What's even better, is that after you eat, drink, and relax, there is a little outpost of Bob Melet's appointment-only boutique, Melet Mercantile, where you can find the most beautiful vintage pieces around. The jewelry is one-of-a-kind, old coin necklaces, chunky turquoise and silver chokers, and beautiful coral beaded bracelets. If you need an activity with your kids, head over to the DIY necklace station where you pick your own beads and string them to make fun necklaces and bracelets. My kids have made pieces they wear with pride on a daily basis! My new favorite find at Melet Mercantile are the Lingua Franca vintage cashmere sweaters with embroidered phrases. Go grab one if you can as they sell out fast! If clothing isn't your thing, browse their awesome vintage book collection. A little something for everyone...
