Nada Barry
Nada Barry, owner of The Wharf Shop, is a Sag Harbor fixture. A native of England and a permanent resident of Sag Harbor since 1962, for decades she has been a regular at village meetings, has played a major role in the business community and has advocated for the East End’s youth.
Now 94, Barry recently wowed an audience at The Church in Sag Harbor with a talk recounting the many milestones in her life.
This week, Barry joins the editors and Bryan Boyhan, former publisher of The Sag Harbor Express, to share memories of her years in Sag Harbor, including her friendship with author John Steinbeck, who lived there with his wife, Elaine, until his death in 1968, and the formation of the Old Whalers’ Festival — which today has been rebranded as HarborFest.
