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!
