Hundreds of people still visit City Island annually.


Now lets talk food…

My top three City Island spots are Sammy’s Fish Box, Johnny’s Reef & Tony’s Pier.


Sammy’s is a sit down reservation recommended kind of restaurant.

It’s one of dads favorite places to eat so we usually celebrate Father’s Day there.

Of course this year was a little different due to Covid-19. But have no fear, you can still get your eat on!

Sammy’s announced back in March that they have added add’l Zip-Codes to their delivery route.

I know that City Island is mostly known for their seafood,but they also have some killer BBQ ribs.

Our favorite ribs are from Tony’s Pier.
