New page

'''Long Island''' is, as the name implies, a long island. It extends east from [[Manhattan]] into the Atlantic. The western-most quarter of the island is made up of the boroughs of [[Brooklyn]] and [[Queens]], though when referring to Long Island, most people are referring to the outermost two counties: Nassau and Suffolk (aka the suburbs).

Basically only go there if you're going to visit family. And even then, don't stay too long.

 The western-most quarter of the island is made up of the boroughs of [[Brooklyn]] and [[Queens]], though when referring to Long Island, most people are referring to the outermost two counties:  Nassau and Suffolk (aka the suburbs). It has the dubious distinction of only being connected by road to the rest of the world via [[New York City]], meaning that, even though Long Islanders are fiercely proud suburbanites, their sense of reality is totally mediated by the city. This must do horrible things to their psyches. Indeed, people in [[Connecticut]] would rather just pretend such a place didn't exist, and that the pristine beaches their [[WASP]] forefathers landed on faced the clean, open ocean, rather than whatever toxic runoff seeped off the coast of the island's north shore.

Long Island has a tiny wine country you could visit, for some reason, on the part of the island that hasn't been completely overtaken by tract housing. Don't. It's not really worth it. And don't ever stay too long.
