My Neighborhood - Long Island, New York
Aquebogue
 

This is your new one-word, one-stop solution to put a tiger of new energy in your mind and spirit. Set up a rental for a North Fork home in a village whose name means 'head of the bay' . Have a dream home in Aquebogue to get a new head start in life.

Horse rearing and making wine are two famous and ancient preoccupations of the Aquebogue countryside. The home you rent has splendid views of the verdant countryside in which such occupations thrive. Air-conditioning, plasma TV and even the Internet will not spoil your delightful transport in to natural surroundings that spur your creative juices.

After some days of gazing in to the distance and simply doing no more than eating and sleeping, you can venture to the two vineyards that are your neighbors. The Paumanok Vineyards is run and owned by an Old World family who will welcome you with warmth and if you behave, some wine tasting as well. They produce Chardonnay, Riesling, Cabernet and other fine wines, from a spread of 77 acres of prime farmland. Learn just a few tricks of the ancient art of growing vines and brewing the berries that grace gourmet meals around the nation. You might also stage a business event at the farm to show off your new taste, or to appease a telephoning boss.

You might tire of fixing meals at your vacation home, so saunter, preferably on a Saturday evening, to the Fauna Restaurant. The menu combines classic North American cuisine with some creative specialties. Study it at leisure over a couple of Martinis. The restaurant has an inviting ambience that tempts you to savor the meal experience for as long as possible. The service is cheerful and aims to please; it adds value to the charm and attraction of the complete dining experience. The bar has tap beer and liqueurs to go with the best of the local wine and there is live music on Saturday evenings. You can host a corporate event here as well.

Start a new week with a look at where the world is headed. The Elementary School is Aquebogue's pride and joy. It has more than 400 students and is housed in a splendid and well-kept building. The faculty takes just pride in their high standards, marked by 6 years of County Awards for Scholastic achievement. The young students collect funds to make annual trips to the Metropolitan Museum of Art and they are well poised for the world of the future with modern computer facilities. Assure yourself that America will be in good hands in the decades to come!

Save a visit to Palmer Wines that are famous all over the North American continent and found in Europe as well, for the end of your Aquebogue holiday. The Management has an intimate knowledge of local agronomic conditions and is able to use each harvest to best effect. Festivals and Special Events are arranged at regular intervals to build further on the name and goodwill that this integrated winemaker enjoys. Palmer's Custom Wine and Label Program include some of the best Hotels and Restaurants. The Vineyard is the proud recipient of a number of awards since 2002. A gift shop operates in Huntington and you could pick up a gift hamper on your way back to Manhattan or wherever it is you normally reside and work.

Just 2 thousand people reside in Aquebogue and this tiny population is sprinkled over almost 4 square miles. Join them in the generous lap of nature and refresh yourself to take on the world. Beware though of Aquebogue's charm lest you buy the home you rented and chuck your job to run a stud farm or to produce vintage wines!
