Sweetening the Big Apple
Picture this. You're located in an weather-worn wooden chaise, indulging yourself with the most recent novel and a glass of Pinot Noir. Behind you stands a century old beach house. To your right is a thickly scented cedar grove. In front of you, tiny waves lap the side of a six foot dingy tethered to an old wooden dock. You see movement out of the projection of your eye and catch a discern of an oriole disappearing into the cedar trees. You discern out at the shore to see short-billed dowitches scurrying for supper. You look to your left, and the man you adore smiles back at you with rosy cheeks from wine bliss. Ahhhh...New York.
Sweetening the Big Apple
I work under the assumption that there is a petite New York in us all. Some love the city. I enjoy Nyc in short burst, but my main theorize for heading to New York has petite to do with Time Square. I am a nature loving, novel reading, wine drinking, bird watching soul. Since my popular petite Italy restaurant and my solace in the North Shore of Long Island are only a few hours from each other, this holiday makes for a excellent weeklong vacation blend.
Travel Suggestions: If you can, fly into New York on Jet Blue (www.jetblue.com). Not only do they have great prices, they have Tv, production it the only airline that make this part of the journey fun. Last time I flew into New York, I was disappointed when I had to deplane and miss the Conan O'Brian monologue.
Grab a cab for your hotel. Shuttles are cheaper if you voyage alone, but if you are a pair the cab is faster and an prominent part of your New York experience. Because the city is so well linked with transportation, pick your hotel based on budget. If you have the extra cash stay in Midtown Manhattan. If you want to conserve, stay in any good hotel on the west side of Central Park for a mixture of good rates and good neighborhoods.
Sure, you can pre-buy tickets for nearly all you need before your trip, but what is the fun in that? Your first day in New York, make the rounds. Buy a metro card for the subway. It's a bargain. If you want to do more sightseeing, buy tickets for the Red Bus. If you don't have a singular Broadway show in mind, stand in line in the center of Time square for some great bargains. Last time there we saw Urine Town for each.
Once you have done the Nyc thing, pick up your rental car and head east on Long Island. You'll take the whole day to voyage 120 miles, because once you are out of the city you will want to stop at every vegetable stand and winery, as well as do some "lunch and shop" in South Hampton. As much fun as this sounds, try to arrive at your beach house before nightfall, because it does get a petite dark out there once the sun sets.
Save the rest of the week for romance and easy-going day trips to historical port towns and astoundingly serene state parks. Or, just open other bottle of wine, sit in your weather-worn lounge, and watch an egret gracefully fly by.
