There are tons of restaurants of all kinds, including Japanese, Italian, Chinese, Sea Food, Korean, Indian, Mexican, Greek and much more. Honestly I haven ´ t been to many but I have heard the food here is great. The only place I go to is Carlos Pizza which in my opinion is the best pizza place in town and is really a must have if you visit the town. There are almost ten pizza places here, I don´t know why but then again it´s Long Island so it´s pretty normal. My biggest issue with Port is how expensive it is. I wish it were cheaper so I could afford to actually go out to eat in town and so that the town could become even more diverse. Not to say it isn´t diverse though. Attending Shreiber I have friends of all races and many different ethnicities which is really a beautiful thing. Most people here are super sweet besides some of the ignorant teenage boys who think they are funny and the very wealthy adults who think everything is about status.
Port Washington is amazing. Aside from an inclusive and supportive community, this town has an incredible school district, a forty minute commute to NYC, and it is located right on the water! Port Washington has a long Main Street stretch with quaint small businesses and healthy restaurants. The town itself is very clean and well taken care of, by the residents who live here! It is a great place to raise a family, get a job, or reside if you have a job in Manhattan! I would definitely recommend this town to anyone looking for a family-friendly community.
Not happy here at all. Moved to Port Washington from Queens with my husband and kids 7 years ago and can't wait to move out of this town. Please read the 2 star review here written in October 2018. That's an accurate review of life in Port Washington.
I've never seen or lived in a less friendly and unwelcoming area in my entire life. Some people are polite at best, most are unwelcoming and unfriendly. There's absolutely no sense of community here. None.
It's lonely and isolating here and quite desolate by 9:00 p.m. most nights. There are beautiful parks in the area but they're empty more often than not( even pre-pandemic) these parks are eerily empty and quiet. Not fun. The school district is grossly overrated and special education services are awful and almost non existent. If you're not white, not wealthy or not part of a "preferred"religion living here will just plain suck.
This is not a diverse neighborhood. It's actually quite the opposite.
