Long Island Fun in the Sun

Mermaid scouting we found the most perfect beach. So perfect, so uninhabited that I am not even going to share the location. Just look at these rocks and imagine a beautiful mermaid perched on any or all or them. The water looks almost tropical This will motivate me to finish Read more…


Long Island Outtakes

As long as I can remember I’ve tried to find the best parts of Long Island. From when I barreled down the parkway eastbound in search of wonder in my Chevy Citation as a teenager to now, uncovering shenanigans with a Brooklyn expat who shares my same adventurous spirit, one Read more…


Barrow Food House
Vegan Options in Riverhead, Long Island

I love me a menu with marked vegan options! Barrow Food House makes it easy to see the makings of a tasty vegan meal in an area with no all-vegan eateries. With some adjustments, we were satisfied in our bellies… but not necessarily in our wallets. Let’s start with our Read more…

True, I am not in love with Manhattan’s Upper East Side but I am more quoting the hilarious Ma Kelly in Johnny Dangerously when she plainly states, hobbling to her L.E.S. tenement: “The Lower East Side. This really sucks.” I’m back on the Upper East Side for my fieldwork placement. Read more…
