Short List Long Island - The Pink Grasshopper

You will probably walk into this Port Jefferson boutique as a stranger, but by the time you leave you will feel more like family. The employees are knowledgeable and helpful - pulling dresses off the rack and tieing the bow for you to make sure that what you try on looks perfect.

The Pink Grasshopper has a large selection of upscale, trendy dresses from Betsey Johnson, Lilly Pulitzer and Shoshanna. A corner of the store was dedicated to baby clothing and in the rear there was a range of more preppy clothing. Accessories that are scattered throughout the store include jewelry, shoes, sandals, belts and a few items for men.
