When I think Long Island, North Shore – this is the place I think of. Home of one of the richest communities in Suffolk County (Belle Terre), this is one of the best places to go to see glacial evidence and wonder around in port, eating fabulous pizza. Even the McDonald’s here is cool – it serves lobster from time to time and has a huge skylight. When I visit here, I feel that I’ve left the strip mall, over urbanization of the island and entered into a different time. However, I will admit that this place is very touristy and can be very crowded and crazy on Fridays and Saturdays during the summer. Best time to visit is early Sunday evening – all the stores are still open and most people are home getting ready for the next day.
