New York (Long Island) Travel Guide

December 13, 2019

Posted by Lauren Rodych-Eberle

.

New York…we’ve talked Manhattan and Brooklyn, but if you have time to head out to Long Island, it sure is beautiful and not at all what you picture from seeing New York in the movies!

.

Activities

  • Sands Point Preserve – it’s $10 per car and has workout paths, nature walks, and some beauty water
  • Old Westbury Gardens – explore the old house and the yard. Beautiful walk and scenery, and has specials set up for Halloween and Christmas
  • Cold Spring Harbor Hiking Trail – a sweet little 3K out-and-back hike in the trees and by the water (lots of incline and decline)
  • Trail View State Park is a nice little nature walk
  • Jones Beach & Long Beach are my fav. The North Shore beaches are much rockier, but Sunken Meadow State Park is also nice
  • Head to the Hamptons – Coopers Beach is relatively close, and by the Cowfish restaurant, but I’ve never been in the summer
  • Visit Makinajian Farm – fresh food!
  • Some great museums (especially with kids) are The Firefighter’s Museum, The Aviation Museum, and The Children’s Museum
  • Flushing Meadows – Corona Park…go walk there and see the unisphere
  • Sur la Table is a great place to take a cooking class!
  • Walk, run, workout, or play a sport at Eisenhower Park

.

Now to the Food…

Cafes

  • The French Workshop (Garden City) – Jordan would say to get a pie
  • Sweet to Lick (Williston Park) – vegan bakery & cafe
  • Witches Brew (West Hempstead) – coffeehouse, and also vegan/vegetarian food (unique environment)
  • Clipper Ship Tea Company (Huntington) – my fav place to get natural, loose leaf tea

Lunch

  • Food for Thought (Garden City) – healthy lunch spot…salads, bowls, juices, etc.
  • The Flour Shoppe (Rockville Centre) – for brunch!
  • Le Pain Quotidien (Garden City) – healthy lunch sit down (quick) spot
  • Bagel Master (Syosset) or My Three Sons (Williston Park) – delis that have great in-house bagels
  • Bareburger (Queens) – great burgers! Organic, all-natural, vegan options, etc.
  • Chopt (New Hyde Park) – love their “cauliflower rice” base! You can also find Chopt restaurants in Manhattan

Dinner

  • Cippolini (Manhasset) – best Italian
  • Waterzooi (Garden City) – Belgian
  • Toku (Manhasset) – great sushi – get the rock shrimp and crispy rice
  • The Capital Grille (Garden City) – steakhouse
  • Copperhill (Williston Park) – great brunch or lunch
  • Prime (Huntington) – on the water – upscale steak & fish house
  • Small Batch (Garden City) – Farm to Table
  • Cowfish – (South Hampton) – Get the Brussel sprouts!!
  • Borrelli’s – (East Meadow) – For ordering-in pizza (and pasta!)

Here are some places that are still on my wish list:

  • Kings Coast Coffee (Shirley)
  • Salt (Merrick)
  • Mill Pond House (Centerport)
  • The Rose Room – a speak easy bar in The Garden City Hotel

Enjoy your adventures on the island!

ABOUT ME
I’m Lauren and I have a deep passion for music, food, the outdoors, and travel. I love random questions and fun facts, and am always searching for better ways to bring wellness and health into my life. I am the owner of Miss Lauren’s Music Studio, where I teach voice, piano, ukulele, and preschool music classes – via Skype and within Calgary. I am a Senior Consultant for Pampered Chef, which has inspired me over the years to write two cookbooks (plus one mini ebook cookbook), that have food preparation made easy in the forefront.

Y’all are so good for book suggestions! Which kid books are we missing?

Let’s do another “Just you wait...” positive Let’s do another “Just you wait...” positive version!
.
I did this when Collins was just a newborn and so many of your answers brought me to tears! After lots of @karinpedersen’s shares lately and your beautiful messages, I love seeing how much joy and ease you find in motherhood. All the disclaimers that everyone’s experience is different, and there is always the challenges, but let’s let go of all of that for this comment session, and share the good stuff!!
.
So many of you said before, “Just you wait until she...” “says mama for the first time.” “gives you a hug.” “walks to you.” And you all were right! Feel free to share your own “just you wait(s)” from your own experiences too! I can’t wait to read, and likely cry!❤️❤️❤️
