We also talked about the Mets in London and how Steve Cohen said the food there is better than in New York.

Hear about travel to Long Island, New York as the Amateur Traveler talks to Vanessa Gordon from EastEndTasteMagazine.com about her home. https://amateurtraveler.com/travel-to-long-island-new-york/ Why should someone go to Long Island? Vanessa says, "Long Island, there truly is so to discover, even from living out here for many years, whether part-time or full-time there's truly so much to do, whether you're in Nassau or Suffolk County, the two counties that make up Long Island. I've lived here in the Hamptons, been here for over 30 years and this New York region never ceases to amaze me. There are ocean beaches. We have Bay beaches. We have beautiful nature preserves, bountiful farmers markets, and endless amounts of summer events." Vanessa suggests visiting Long Island in September or October, mentioning the abundance of events, family activities, and cultural events during these months. She shares her favorite spots in Montauk, including the Montauk Point Lighthouse and the opportunity for seal watching and whale sightings. Moving to Shelter Island, Vanessa recommends taking the ferry and exploring the island's unique attractions, such as Rams Head Inn and Mashomack Preserve. She also suggests Sunset Beach as a hotspot for live music and sunsets. Vanessa then talks about Sag Harbor, her favorite village, and its family-friendly beaches. She highlights The Beacon restaurant and Barron's Cove Hotel for breathtaking sunset views. The discussion extends to wineries on the North Fork, with recommendations like Wolfer Estate and Channing Daughters. She covers various family-friendly activities, including museums like the Parrish Art Museum and Guildhall and theaters such as Bay Street Theater. Vanessa mentions the presence of celebrities in the fall. The itinerary continues with a move to Riverhead, described as the gateway to the North Fork and South Fork. Vanessa appreciates the town's historic charm, new businesses, and attractions like the Long Island Aquarium. She highlights the East End food market as a one-stop shop for local food purveyors. Vanessa suggests considering staying in Brookhaven instead of the Hamptons to save on your travel budget. She highlights Patchogue on the Great South Bay as a vibrant spot, particularly for nightlife, and recommends Fire Island for its popularity among the LGBTQ+ community. She emphasizes historical sites like Fire Island Lighthouse and Bellport, suggesting the Bellport Inn as a cozy stay. Moving to the "Gold Coast" on the north shore, Vanessa mentions historic mansions like Teddy Roosevelt's Sagamore Hill, the Old Westbury Gardens, and Oheka Castle, the latter featured in a Taylor Swift music video. She advises dividing mansion visits over two days. Whether you are visiting Long Island on your yacht or by train, whether you are visiting mansions or living in one, this area near New York City offers a very different world to the city with its beaches, farms, and vineyards.

Mack Rosenberg and Paul Murnane have the morning's top local stories from the WCBS newsroom.

Long Island's barrier beaches are fascinating places. Stretched along the south shore of the island, they persist through much of Long Island history as wild natural landscapes constantly shifting and remolded by the Atlantic Ocean. And despite the storms and shipwrecks and isolation, people have persisted in thinking "I want to live there." On today's episode we talk to Mike Cavanaugh, whose curiosity brought him to Gilgo Beach over twenty years ago. Through deeper research he has tracked the history of his cottage and the Gilgo Beach community back to the 19th century. You'll hear about eccentric hermits, the lost colony of Hemlock Beach, and the complicated legacy of Robert Moses. You'll also hear about Mike's other passion, collecting old bottles from the Great South Bay that tell stories about the people who lived here before.

Hello and welcome to another episode of Winners Only Club- the #1 podcast in the Hamptons and beyond. I'm your host LuLu and today we have the pleasure to chat with Henry Hildreth III. About Henry:  Have you ever wondered what is America's oldest department store and what it's like to run one? The family legacy of Henry Hildreth III dates back to 1635 when his family arrived in Plymouth, Massachusetts. They were told by the King of England to raise kettle but the coastline was too rocky, so they eventually made their way to the Hamptons after Great South Bay and a stop in the Virginias. The store, eponymously named, Hildreth's, started in 1842 selling things like buffalo ropes, whaling harpoons, buggy whips and things of that store. The conversation with "Humble" Henry disproves the “born with a silver spoon” stereotype.  Boys and girls. Ladies and germs, please help me welcome Henry, or friends like to call him Hank. Everyone, welcome Henry.00:32 introduction1:50 Filming this during store hours2:40 Being a generational owner3:10 graduated from Southampton High School3:47 a piece of furniture from 1969 in the warehouse4:18 starting full-time in 19784:40 the “secret”: the cut5:17 kneeboarding6:10 challenge of running a family business6:34 wife and daughter: President and VP7:35 where do you source your products?8:20 beach vibe~9:59 did you have a mentor?10:15 gentlemen: father and grandfather tipped their hats10:51 taking over the family business11:33 wife taking care of the kids back then, and taking charge now13:15 selling Hildreth in East Hampton13:53 definition of winner14:43 definition of loser15:57 closing remarks16:45 wrap-up Comedy bit at Hildreth's: click hereHildreth's Home Goods:51 Main St, Southampton, NY 11968, United States(631) 283-2300

Back at it! Mike Pete and Steve welcome Greg from Great South Bay Brewery.

Dick Wolfe moved with his family from Floral Park to Oakdale in 1940. In these excerpts from a longer oral history interview he gave to the Long Island Home Front project, he describes the bucolic nature of Oakdale during his early years. His family lived on Chicken Street (now Dale Drive) and the surrounding area was dominated by dairy farms.  Dick recalls following the war news on the radio and through film reels, as well as local landmarks like Bronco Charlie's on Main Street and the nearby towering windmill, visible from the Great South Bay. His most vivid memories, though, involve the paratroopers who would fall from the sky on Sundays to take place in war games along Brook Street. 

The historic bay houses of the Great South Bay speak to a long tradition of living by the water. Their designs contain forgotten knowledge for post-storm recovery and draft a rough plan for today's rising sea level: finding higher ground.

Maryann Almes, president of the Oakdale Historical Society, joins us to discuss the organization's role in preserving and celebrating the history of Oakdale. Located in Islip on the south shore of Long Island, Oakdale has a storied past as a gem of the Gilded Age. For decades in the late 19th century, a string of mansions, most prominently William K. Vanderbilt's Idle Hour, lined the Great South Bay and attracted national attention. The Society received Preservation Long Island's award for Organizational Excellence, and Maryann details for us just how much work and effort goes into achieving that excellence. The to-do list includes constant advocacy, innovative public events, and a community committed to the place where they live. Today's episode marks the end of our week-long celebration of the 2020 Preservation Long Island Preservation Awards. We have visited the shores of Sag Harbor and the headwaters of the Speonk River. We have seen inside sawmills and firehouses and traced the mysteries of local preservation laws. I want to thank all the award winners for their time and interviews. I especially want to thank Sarah Kautz and Preservation Long Island for letting us help host this week of celebrations. We hope you've enjoyed listening and that you are inspired to take a look around your own corner of Long Island and get involved in determining what history gets saved and what gets remembered.

Themen heute:    Kulinarisches Highlight auf Long Island: Die besten Austern an der Ostküste der USA Der wilde atlantische Ozean und die malerischen Buchten, Flüsse und Seen, die zahlreichen Häfen und Fischereien – Long Islands maritime Seite bietet eine Reihe von Bade-, Boot- und Angelaktivitäten. Vor allem aber begeistert sie Besucher mit einer vorzüglichen Kulinarik. Speziell Meeresfrüchte und ganz besonders Austern gelten auf Long Island das ganze Jahr hindurch als delikater Höhepunkt. Jedes Jahr kommen 200.000 Besucher auf der Insel zum Oyster Festival zusammen, um die lokale Delikatesse zu zelebrieren. Auch dieses Jahr wird die Auster im Oktober gefeiert! Der Reisetipp: Long Islands reiches maritimes Erbe reicht mehr als 400 Jahre zurück, als die umliegenden Gewässer des heutigen New Yorks mit 350 Quadratkilometer großen Austernriffen fast die Hälfte des weltweiten Austernaufkommens ausmachten. So lieferten die Gewässer rund um die Insel einst einen erheblichen Teil der weltweiten Bestände an Venus- und Jakobsmuscheln, sowie Austern. In den 1970er Jahren war die Great South Bay Long Islands das muschelreichste Gewässer der Welt. Und auch noch heute gibt es hier eine große Auswahl von Venus- und Schneckenmuscheln über Mies- und Jakobsmuscheln bis zu den beliebten Austern.  Long Island beheimatet zudem die bedeutendste unter den zahlreichen Austern der USA, die Blue Point-Auster. Sie hat ihren historischen Ursprung in der Great South Bay im südlichen Küstenstreifen um Blue Point und verdankt diesem Gebiet auch ihren Namen. Heutzutage wird der Name für deliziöse Austern auch aus anderen Buchten der nördlichen Ostküste wie New Jersey oder Virginia übergreifend verwendet. Allerdings spielt das Herkunftsgewässer beim Geschmack der Muschel eine wesentliche Rolle, wodurch sie nirgendwo so speziell schmeckt wie original auf Long Island. Ein Fest für die Auster Aber damit nicht genug: Die Auster ist auf Long Island so beliebt, dass ihr sogar ein eigenes Fest gewidmet ist, das Oyster Festival, das passenderweise jedes Jahr an der Uferpromenade des Ortes Oyster Bay stattfindet. Mit 200.000 Besuchern ist es das größte Hafenfestival an der Ostküste, das in diesem Jahr vom 19. bis 20. Oktober zum 36. Mal gefeiert wird. Besucher dürfen sich auf Austern in unterschiedlichster Zubereitung freuen – ob roh in einer halben Schale, gebraten oder im Eintopf.   Diesen Beitrag können Sie nachhören oder downloaden unter:

Ted Lindner talks with Marshall Brown from Save The Great South Bay, a local organization working on restoring the bay.

Elaine Kiesling Whitehouse knows a good story when she sees it, and those stories often come from history. Writing from an early age, she was intrigued by the signs of the past all around her. There was a WWI era German radio transmitting station across the street and the decaying windmill of a former Gilded Age estate down the block. On today's episode, we discuss Elaine's writing history and how she has drawn on Long Island's past for inspiration. Her novel Hart's Tavern, set in Revolutionary War-era Patchogue, sprang from a roadside marker commemorating George Washington's trip through the area in 1790. She also relates the valuable lessons she learned as the editor of the Fire Island Tide as well as the writing career of her husband, Jack Whitehouse.

New York was once known as the oyster capital of the world, and was famous for the Blue Point Oyster that originated in the Great South Bay on Long Island. In 1938, that suddenly changed due to the New England hurricane known as "The Long Island Express." Inlets were cut through Fire Island, silting over oyster beds and exposing them to predators. After WWII, the wild population still hadn't recovered and the oyster industry lay dormant for decades. However, the "Blue Point" name lived on under questionable circumstances. Fast-forward to the late 1990s, enter Chris Quartuccio. Chris grew up in West Sayville, just down the road from Blue Point. After disease wiped out much of the Eastern wild oyster population (causing the price of oysters to quadruple), the stage was set for Chris to start the first Oyster Farm on the Great South Bay in almost 80 years! This week on A Taste of the Past, Kat Johnson takes a trip to visit Chris at Blue Island Oyster Company's hatchery and nursery to learn more about the history of the oyster farming industry on the Great South Bay.

George Davies' younger days would be the envy of any boy. During the Great Depression in Oakdale, he and his brothers had the run of Pepperidge Hall, a giant 19th-century mansion in walking distance of a swimming hole and the Great South Bay. Plus they had a pet duck. On this episode you'll hear excerpts […]

We continue our celebration of National Poetry Month with our second Long Island power ballad from the past. This time out we are looking at “A Babylonish Ditty” by Frederick Swartwout Cozzens (writing as Richard Haywarde). Few will remember New York wine merchant-turned poet Cozzens and his heyday as a humor writer in the mid 1800s (although you should try his Sparrowgrass Papers, something of a 19th-century prototype for the sticom Green Acres.) Fewer still will remember the Knickerbocker, the magazine where he cut his teeth. But that's where, in 1850, he first published “A Babylonish Ditty,” a quick-trotting ode to a long gone summer romance. Why Babylon? Well, the south shore of Long Island (“the merry old south side”) had a reputation that drew men out from New York City. Mostly they were merchants and lawyers, amateur sportsmen drawn to the abundant fish and game along the Great South Bay. They came by rail and stage coach and after a long day traipsing through the great outdoors, they retired to one of the many inns and taverns strung along the South Country Road (today's Montauk Highway). Listen to Cozzens relive those hazy summer days and wonder to yourself how the “fickle” object of his affection viewed the whole affair. Many thanks to our guest reader, Steve Birkeland.

Gene Horton and friend. “You are on the Merrick Road, not far from Blue Point, the place that made the oyster famous. You look to the right and to the left, and, tacked to a tree, you see a sign and you try to read it, but the top of it has been shot off by a quail hunter. However, on the lower part you decipher, between the birdshot: ‘An inn what is an inn.' ” Welcome to Ye Anchorage Inn, as described in the Brooklyn Daily Eagle in 1908. Your host is Capt. Bill Graham: huckster, artist, impresario, and roadside entrepreneur. He and his wife Molly ran the Inn from 1897 to 1920, creating a unique amalgam of tavern, hotel, hunting lodge, picnic ground, and Bohemian hot spot on the northwest corner of Montauk Highway and Kennedy Ave. Graham's clientele ranged from vaudevillians and silent movie stars to politicians, philosophers, and artists. Winsor McCay and Montgomery Flagg left sketches on the walls while early motorists made Ye Anchorage a must-see destination on their Long Island jaunts. Graham kept up a constant parade of promotional events, from his famous Sphinx statue (now in Bayport) to faux bullfights and horse raffles. He chronicled it all in his own personal magazine, The Log, full of stories, poems, artwork, and anything else he could think of. In this episode, Blue Point historian Gene Horton details the history of Will Graham, the Irish immigrant who became a part of the history of the Great South Bay. Drawing on his vast research and collection, Gene paints a vivid picture of the man and his times.   Further Research: Books by Gene Horton (via WorldCat.org) Gene Horton on The History of Blue Point (Dowling Library Omnibus podcast #6.

Summer is right around the corner, which means many of us will head out to Long Island for clams bakes and time on the beach. But there’s a problem lurking in the waters around the Great South Bay. According to studies from The Nature Conservancy, excessive nitrogen is polluting the waterways. “We have these symptoms in many places, either harmful algal blooms, some of which are actually toxic to fish and wildlife, some of which are toxic to people,” said Carl LoBue, The Nature Conservancy’s senior marine scientist on Long Island. “So that actually has a big impact on which fish enter our bays, which fish are healthy to eat. And then in some places, like Western Long Island Sound where the water is deep, we get hypoxic dead zones, like you might hear about in the Gulf of Mexico.” Scientists at The Nature Conservancy became particularly focused on this problem in the Great South Bay through a shellfish restoration project that began 10 years ago. At that time, the organization came into possession of 21 square miles of bay bottom. Previously owned by an oyster company and then a bank, the underwater land had been strip-mined of shellfish, so scientists decided to repopulate the area with clams. “Half the clams eaten in this country came from Great South Bay at one point,” said Nancy Kelley, Long Island chapter director of The Nature Conservancy. “Annual harvests in the 1970s were upwards of 700,000 bushels a year. That’s [a] 99 percent decline, down to about 10,000 bushels [now].” After a few years, though, evidence showed that the reintroduced clams weren’t doing as well as they’d expected. “Some years, when we tested how many clams were actually growing, we saw some positive results, other years, not so much,” said Kelley. “And clearly there was a problem with our water quality because these systems just weren’t sustaining healthy populations of shellfish.” Scientists knew nitrogen pollution was a problem in many places throughout the world, but 65 percent of nitrogen leaking into the Great South Bay came from a particularly local source. “The big surprise was that the main culprit, the main source of this excessive nitrogen was from residential home septic systems,” said Kelley, pictured right. Now the organization is working on getting residents in problem areas to replace old septic systems with new ones that are designed to prevent excessive nitrogen leakage. That’s not a small feat given the individual investment required by homeowners. “Recent polling indicates that 85 percent of Long Island voters strongly support tougher water quality standards if it means that less nitrogen will enter our waters,” said Kelley. “So they’re willing to be a part of the solution. They’re also willing and understand that it’s going to cost some money.” According to Kelley, the problem is one that simply can’t be ignored any longer. “Last year, 13,000 acres of shellfishing grounds were closed because of these toxic algal blooms,” she says, adding that there were 1,100 beach closures last year, and that number is growing. “We realize that the solution lies in the folks who live on Long Island.”
