A Native's View in a Long Review - Long Island

Advantages: Diverse, not NYC, interesting places, reasonably easy to get to
Disadvantages: The accent. There are areas of limited interest and economic hardship

Are you from abroad...or at least from far away? Are you visiting New York City? I suspect you are planning on visiting shops, museums, tall buildings, and maybe even a big statue of a lady holding a torch. It is, however, entirely possible, that unless you have friends there, the suburbs on Long Island are not part of your plans. But perhaps they should be. After all, The Great Gatsby was set on Long Island. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ History, Geography & Politics ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Long Island is a glacial island. The South Shore is relatively flat, however, the North Shore is quite hilly and rocky - a legacy of the lumps of debris glaciers tend to leave behind. It is also very long - much longer than it is wide (according to Wiki, it is up to 118 miles long east-west, though only at most 20 ...

Review of Long Island, New York

If you can't stay long then come back soon!

Advantages: Great songs, vocals, lyrics, music
Disadvantages: Some dodgy recording on a tight budget

Wob is a very talented singer guitarist song-writer from south eastern England. He performs and records both solo - just him, his acoustic guitar and his voice - and with his band, a trio of himself, a bassist and a drummer. The first time I heard him I was at a small music venue, to watch another band. There were three bands on that night, and one of them, was Wob. He started on his own, just himself and acoustic guitar, striding and bouncing around the stage as if he owned it, grabbibg everyone's attention. He did one song on hos own then, half way through the second number on walked the bass player, followed by the drummer, and the rest of the set was performed with his band, and they took the place by storm, they had the whole place rocking. I immediately bought the album, "I Can't Stay Long", on cassette and played it to ...

Review of I Can't Stay Long - WOB

Burcliffe-by-the-sea, Long Island NY

Advantages: peaceful, pretty and warm.
Disadvantages: Lot of the sales people in the outlet malls speak very little English

Attractions: well Sir Paul McCartney wandering around the same shops as us, with his baby was a plus. The weather was fantastic. We expected cool/warm and got warm/hot.. We also struck lucky with the people and the place where we stayed. The shops were pretty cool too. Lots of outlet malls and high class shops. There are also plenty of delicatessens selling fresh coffee and really good clam chowder or other soups as well as bagels, filled rolls and the ilk. It meant lunch could be as cheap as making it at home and in my case tastier. Burcliffe is situated in Montauk near the very tip of the Island so to get anywhere you have a long ride through country roads and in this case country roads with deer unconcernedly leaping out in front of you. However the roads were interesting and so were the many towns we passed through or stopped at ...
