You Won’t Believe This Is in New York
Long Island is home for me and honestly, I feel like more people need to see this side of New York .
If you’re planning a trip to New York this spring or summer, don’t stop at Manhattan . Long Island’s got hidden spots that just hit different… dinner shows, cozy restaurants, scenic hiking trails, local farms, and weekend festivals.
You skip the crowds, the prices, and still get the real New York experience. And yes, the bagels are legit.
If you’re flying into a New York airport this weekend, check out Long Island MacArthur Airport . It is smaller, easy to navigate, and airlines like @avelo air , @Breezeairways , @Flyfrontier , @jetBlue , and @SouthwestAir make getting here so much easier.
Some things people always ask me:
• Is Long Island even worth visiting from the city? 100%. The energy is totally different out here. We're more polite 😂
• Best spots to eat or explore? First tell me your favorite cuisine and I'll tell you my favorite place.
• And how far is it from the airport? You’d be surprised… most places are 30-60 minutes away.
Save this for later if you’re planning a trip to New York, and let’s start building a Long Island travel guide together.
