Review of hampton craigslist::What Is the Listing on Craigslist
Long Island is a great place for New Yorkers to get out of the city and an awesome alternative to the Manhattan hustle and bustle for visitors to the area. Number one on the list has to be the Hamptons. From the beach to the McMansions to the glitz and glamour of Hollywood types, "The Hamptons" isn't your typical resort area. From Memorial Day to Labor Day, the little corner of Long Island is jam-packed every weekend. "The Hamptons" really refers to the area around Suffolk County's East Hampton, which was founded in the 1600s as a farming community. In the 1800s it became a quick "country" getaway for weather Manhattanites. Now, the beaches of East Hampton are consistently among the top 10 in the country, thanks to the white sandy and relatively easy access to the Atlantic Ocean. Some famous Hamptons residents include Billy Joel, Christie Brinkley, Renee Zellweger, and Martha Stewart. Sean "Diddy" Combs throws a big party there every year. And of course the gals from Sex and the City angled to get invitations to houses there every year. If you want to go to the Hamptons, there are several ways. The best is the Hamptons Jitney. That's my favorite way. It's inexpensive, it is small dog friendly, it has food on board and wi-fi. You can hitch a ride on the Jitney for as little as $44 round trip! Gas will of course set you back more than that. Of course, you could still get stuck in traffic, but at least you can sleep or read. You can drive to the Hamptons, but parking is pretty much nonexistent, plus the Long Island Expressway on the weekend can be torture! If there's an accident ... fugheddaboutit. You'll be stuck on the LIE for hours and might as well pull over and get your tan on the expressway's shoulder. To drive, you're better off to go super early in the morning or ridiculously late at night. There is also the train, which I don't find as convenient as the bus (the Jitney.) You have to transfer at Jamaica Station, and once I'm on, I don't like to get off. But if train travel is more your speed, then the Long Island Rail Road is for you. Tickets cost as little as $15.25 one-way. Once you're there, you can stay at a hotel, bed and breakfast, do a house share or just go for the day. Because there are so many options, I won't go into them all. I'll just give you general prices for the 2008 season. Shares? They typically run about 6k for the season, but have been sold out for months. Check out places like craigslist for people trying to get out of their shares for certain weekends. You can find rates for about $450 a weekend. B & B and Hotels? Rates start around $150 per night during high season and weekdays and go up considerably from there. The best thing though, many of them are small dog friendly. Pricey beach days not your thing? Don't worry ... there is a lot more to do! The Stony Brook Discovery Cruise is always fun and is family friendly. The cruise is on a 35-passenger boat that takes you through the wetlands while the tour guide gives lessons on history, geology and ecology of the area. Child rates are $15.00. Adults: $22.00-$25.00. The cruise sets sail from the Boatworks Marina and is dependant on the tide. So it's best to check the website for reservations. The tour is about 90 minutes and is led by a naturalist from nearby Stony Brook University. It's very informative and a totally dream for anyone really into nature. I am also a fan of the Theodore Roosevelt Sanctuary in Oyster Bay in Nassau County. It was the first Audubon Society songbird sanctuary in the country, when it was established in 1923. Children will love learning more about the Sanctuary's 19 birds of prey, like falcons and vultures, as well as reptiles and amphibians from around the globe. It's best to drive out the Sanctuary, because you'll probably want to visit Teddy Roosevelt's house, which is about a mile away. It's free to walk the nature trails and visit a couple of the aviaries, but if you want to take part in an actual bird program, where someone shows you the creatures up close, you'll have to pay. The bird programs are usually on Saturday only and cost from $3.00-$5.00 a person. Another place that is fun is the Quogue Wildlife Refuge. (Pronounced: kwahg) This Suffolk County refuge has seven miles of trails for you to explore as well as some of the most amazing wildlife you'll see in New York State. They have a bobcat, several owls and Dwarf Pine trees from the Pine Barrens, which are very rare. Bird watchers, like my uncle, can find comfy chairs with spectacular views, just made to while away the day. These are just a few of the fun, tourist attractions on Long Island. It is a diverse area with lots to do. Have fun and don't forget the sunscreen. |
