Living on the North Fork
When it comes to straightforward names, the North Fork of Long Island says it all. Look at where Long Island divides at Riverhead—the North Fork is the section to the north. Often seen as the more reserved counterpart of the East End’s twin prongs, the North Fork is just as captivating as the Hamptons, albeit at a more relaxed pace.
This region boasts a genuine wine culture, with dozens of vineyards flourishing in the maritime climate. Long Island’s agricultural heritage continues to thrive, with local farmers offering produce, flowers, cheese, and other products at farm stands scattered throughout the area.
Combined with its proximity to Connecticut and Rhode Island, accessible via the Cross Sound Ferry, the North Fork exudes a New England-esque charm rather than a New York vibe. It feels like an escape to another world, despite being less than 100 miles from your starting point.
