Pros: Varied, diverse, long...an escape from New York City
Cons: Traffic, parts of it are uninspiring to say the least

Pros: Great Food-What else is there?
Cons: You feel the need to go back again and again

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: 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...
