I planned on starting my Christmas shopping early this season. Was a little worried about it being crowded on a Sunday before Thanksgiving, however it was the complete opposite. Arrived around 11AM, found parking right away. There were other shoppers and some stores had lines...MoreWow!

Long Island Spirits

Reviewed By lollygal - New York City, New York

We added this in as a stop on our wine tasting tour and it was the highlight of our day. The venue has a large bar for tastings and a huge outside deck that overlooks the grounds and vineyard area. We tasted vodkas and fell in love with the rough riders whiskey. We danced to a live band that kept everyone entertained. This is a must visit spot when in the area.

Beautiful land with great vinifera grapes. Relaxing and such comfort for wine tasting. Was driving to Montauk, and saw the sign "wine tasting every day", had to stop. The place was amazing so much grapes. The area for the tasting was totally comfortable and invited to stay. Had a couple of sparkling wine tasting, and bought some wine

Wildwood State Park

Reviewed By Annemarie N

Beautiful beach with high cliff like dunes, and large rock formations. We were there on a windy choppy day in October to walk the shoreline. I am unsure how this beach is for swimming, but there seemed to be more sand than is normally found on the Sound side of Long Island.

Calverton National Cemetery

Reviewed By StonewallBrigade - New Jersey

I have been to several national cemeteries and this one is great like so many others. It is very well taken care of and neat.

Notable graves include:
Lt. Michael P. Murphy, Navy SEAL (of 'Lone Survivor' fame).
WWII and Korean War fighter ace, Gabby Gabreski.

BE SURE TO CHECK OUT THE NEARBY GRUMMAN MEMORIAL PARK
which has an A-6 Intruder and F-14 Tomcat on display in a nice little park environment.

Shrine of Our Lady of the Island

Reviewed By Ezzy C - Brooklyn, New York, United States

What I love most about this place is that it's not really a "tourist" destination.. it's more of a hidden secret to those in the know. My wife and I made our pilgrimage this May but can't wait to go back specially when the leaves.. I can't even imagine the beauty of this place during the fall season

Cedar Beach

Reviewed By Sara C

Cedar has always been my favorite north shore beach. It always feels like that even if it's crowded, like July 4th, there is still plenty of space on the beach. It's great for younger kids because there usually isn't a strong undertow. Most of the time everyone's polite, friendly, and neat.

Great place to visit especially with children. A bit pricey so take advantage of any discounts they may offer ie AAA, AARP, Senior Thursday etc. Sea lion, penguin, and otter shows. Colorful and well maintained tanks from small fish to sharks. Great Butterfly house and bird aviary. Worthwhile entertainment. Parking is plentiful but does require walking a few blocks to reach parking lots.

Long Island Skydiving Center

Reviewed By FunThrillingSeeker - New York City, New York

This company and I had been communicating prior to the physical activity. Their customer service were accommodating, friendly, and sweet. I decided to rent a car because the train schedule was too inflexible for my schedule. When I arrived at the skydiving center, I realized that I came in too early. But this timing was perfect because there were more 4 participants arriving. We watched the safety show and signed the liability paperwork. We got prepped and ready to be on board. As I was on the plane, I glanced through the window and thought that the landscape near the beach looked so gorgeous. When it was my time to jump, I was with their instructor- Aish. The jumping 120mph was the most amazing feeling in the sky! He pulled his parachute. We gloated in the sky watching all the beautiful landscapes. We spinned around like a roller coaster ride in the sky. We landed nicely and safely! I'd recommend going to this skydiving center! I'd do it again and again in springtime / summertime! I already can't wait!
