What Is There To See and Do on Long Island, New York?

Tweet

I have a good friend who lives on Long Island. A few years ago, she invited me to come for a visit but I haven’t done so yet. I wondered what there was to see and do on Long Island, so I asked her. I came across her letter today and when I read it again, I remembered that there are several things to see and do on Long Island. One thing she mentioned we could do was to visit Greenport, a North Fork seaport, she called it. We would have to spend the day there, she said, visiting museums and historic sites and strolling the Harbor Walk. We could ride an antique carousel and then have dinner in a nice restaurant. Sounds like a very pleasant day to me. She mentioned The Gold Coast for upscale shopping but thought I might better like to go to Roosevelt Field, the island’s largest shopping mall. She also mentioned Old Westbury Gardens. 160 acres of beautiful flowers on an estate, including a 1906 English-style mansion filled with priceless furnishings. That sounded very interesting. There were several other things that she mentioned that I know that I would enjoy. There is the Hamptons, of course, and the Robert Moses State Park and Montauk, a thriving fishing community with great seafood. She remembered that I liked seafood. I really would like to go visit her and all these places. I’m just not in a position to do that right now. What do you know about Long Island, New York?
