We have been season ticket holders since the beginning of Argyle Theater. We appreciated the email of steps Argyle Theater was taking as precautionary measures due to concerns about the coronavirus. Ushers were offering alcohol wipes to all to use in addition to the additional sanitizing steps that the theater was doing before and after the performances. Fortunately since the theater is still in the early stages of growth, there are still sufficient empty seats for use to separate yourself from others. It is fabulous to see the effort that is going into keeping the theater functional as an avenue for all to utilize during this outbreak. As for the performances, each one has been fabulous, directed with such professionalism, and the actors and actresses of well seasoned performers and you can see their experience during the shows. We have just bought our third season pass for the new season of performances and encourage all to do the same. Buy a ticket for Cabaret, which was outstanding Friday night, and ask if you can apply the cost toward the next season performances.

4.5 based on 282 reviews
Located in Oyster Bay, New York and originally landscaped by the Olmsted Brothers, the grounds feature 409 acres of greenhouses, rolling lawns, formal gardens, woodland paths and outstanding plant collections. The original historic estate buildings remain intact including Coe Hall, a 65-room Tudor Revival mansion designed by Walker and Gillette. The interior of the house is a showcase of artistry and craftsmanship and features a distinctly American aesthetic through original ironwork commissions by Samuel Yellin and murals painted by artists Robert Winthrop Chanler and Everett Shinn. Planting Fields is included in the National Register of Historic Places.

This was a beautiful park in which to spend a couple hours on a low key vacation. While we did not manage to walk all the trails in our limited time here, we enjoyed what we saw immensely, and had the place almost to ourselves. I would love to come back in the spring when more flowers are blooming. Do not miss the main greenhouse! The cactus, begonia and orchid branches were great, as well as the wonderful tropical plants and trees in the main section. The dahlia garden was very nice. Also of note, the Sensory garden and Italian garden. After Labor Day, the $8 per car fee is only collected on weekends.

A must see attraction. This beautiful Lighthouse on the tip of Long Island is worth the trip .You can have a picnic and take a tour and climb to the top of the lighthouse with spectacular views. And you better hurry cause it might go over the edge sooner or later

A bully good historic attraction, not to be missed: the home of Theodore Roosevelt from 1902 to 1906, considered the "Summer White House," a beautiful 23-room Victorian mansion estate that also includes a 37-acre National Environmental Study Area of forest, tidal salt marsh and bay beach.

There was more to see here than we realised and wished we'd allowed more time for our visit. As well as the tour of the house, which was excellent and took around 40 mins, there is a small, well presented museum, a couple of short movies about Sagamore Hill and life of TR, some interesting interpretative signs around the grounds and a nice nature trail down to the water. The house was built to his requirements, is full of TRs personal effects and furnished just as the family lived in it. We learnt so much about this fascinating individual and his views and beliefs. You can only visit the house on a tour and in peak season you need to book ahead if you have a national park pass on the parks website for free. If not best to show up early and book on a tour for $10 each for a time slot as tickets are often sold out by noon.

Located on the Montauk Peninsula, this popular beach is noted for excellent surfing and body boarding.
Reviewed By fuwa1818 - Cincinnati, United States
Beautiful in the mornings! Not very crowded and mainly friendly locals out on the water. Catch a lesson with Coreyswave if you'd like to learn. Surf is consistently good for beginners in the summer. IMPORTANT: If you're visiting, none of the lots are open to cars without an East Hampton beach parking permit. I parked in the free lot at Shadmoor State Park and took the 20 min walk to Ditch. Phenomenal way to start the day with a clear mind!

I am a life long Long Islander and have been to about every beach on this island. Gilgo Beach is the absolute best, hands down. Drive in or dock your boat. Clean water and white sand, lifeguards at close intervals that are very helpful and will personally advise you of rip tides and strong undertows throughout the day, which is a plus for those of us with young kids. PERFECT BOOGIE BOARDING AND SURFING BEACH! There is a cabana for beach necessities and to rent umbrellas, boogie boards, surf boards, and chairs as well as purchase souvenirs. The shells on Gilgo Beach are different from any of the surrounding beaches... tiny white & pink perfectly shaped and and work beautifully for crafting! There are plenty of trash receptacles to keep the sand free of refuse. Warm water showers for rinsing off the salt and sand before you get in the car or boat. There is a snack shop with made to order burgers, dogs, chicken, fries, snacks & ice cream as well as a full bar for the adults. Non resident parking is a little expensive at $30 per day, but free before 8 am and after 4 pm. Honestly, it’s worth every penny, as this hidden jewel is not to be missed.
