While traveling on the Epinions site you never know where you will end up. Somehow I landed on Long Island. I was looking at the headings of reviews. There were a few positive reviews, a couple in general about Long Island ,and some about specific ...

A few miles east of New York City, along the many necks of land sticking out into Long Island Sound, is the area known as the Gold Coast, a stretch of land encompassing many estates...
Pros: Varied, diverse, long...an escape from New York City Cons: Traffic, parts of it are uninspiring to say the least
Updated to correct a couple of errors - my memory isn't clearly what it once was :( Are you from abroad...or at least from far away? Are you visiting New York City? I suspect you are planning on visiting shops, museums, tall buildings, and ...
Pros: Great Food-What else is there? Cons: You feel the need to go back again and again
I am definitely a fan of Chinese food. I don’t know exactly what it is. I often wonder if I took a plane and hopped on over to Beijing whether I would find the gourmet delights that seem to tempt my palate so right here in the United States.
Pros: Lots of stores, good food and entertainment. Cons: High Traffic on the weekends.
What's the HUB? The Nassau HUB would be considered the area that encompasses the Roosevelt Field Shopping Mall, Nassau Coliseum, Hostra University, Eisenhower Park, Museum Row, Mitchell Field, The Source Mall, and the strip malls on Old Country ...
Legal Seafoods has just opened a new restaurant in the Walt Whitman Mall in Huntington, New York. This is the same wonderful organization that has dominated the seafood restaurant scene in Boston and...
Pros: beautiful, unspoiled beaches and parks, excellent environmental protection Cons: expensive and can be crowded; see and be seen, in places
Being a non-white child of immigrant parents, I had long avoided the Hamptons because I'm not really into the Gatsby life. I went to an Ivy League college, and the kids who spent their summers in the Hamptons were also the ones who blew their allowance...
Pros: Magnificent natural beauty, clean parks, lots to do Cons: Traffic, poor public transit, more traffic.
DISCLAIMER - Long Island is my home, so I am very biased about how great it is to live and work here. However, I have also been to Italy, Germany, and most metro areas in the eastern US, so it is an informed bias. The places in this review are my...
Pros: pumpernickel-raisin bread Cons: over-priced; disappointing; no privacy; crowded
Located right on Main Street in the village of Sayville is a quaint Italian restaurant, named Cafe Joelle. Reservations are not taken, so be prepared to wait for a little while before being seated. It's less crowded during the week than on the...
Dinner for two. Candlelight in an intimate country inn. Sound good? I have the place for you. It is called the Bayport House Ristorante. It is located at 291 Bayport Avenue on Long Island.
This restaurant is a landmark which started out...
Pros: concerts held at night can net you a cool sea breeze Cons: when it rains, you get wet. No questions asked, unless you are in the top rows of Stadium 2 seating
The Jones Beach Ampitheater is open for the summer only, which is quite understandable seeing how it is an open-air arena. It is a concert arena more than anything else, one of the venues for the Coca-Cola summer tour of past years. You can catch the...
Pros: The Huntting Inn: quaint, comfortable, clean Indian Cove Restaurant: excellent food, romantic setting Cons: Inn: cost $150 per night off-season Restaurant: too many added cost items on Prix Fixe menu
We are just back from our overnight stay in East Hampton . . . my husband and me that is! My husband had to stay in town from Thursday to Saturday, so I left my 21 month old daughter with my mom and sister (first time away from mommy and daddy and I...
Pros: Beautiful, Remote, Quiet Cons: Expensive, Sexism, Fines
Fire Island: Land of the rich and the 75 dollar fine. Don't get me wrong this is not all this beautiful idyllic island has to offer but these are a few of the draw backs. I spent my childhood summers prancing down the beaches of Fire Island wearing...
