Posted March 18, 20205 yr loooooong beach no, not the los angeles long beach, the long island version on ny’s intercoastal islands. i did one of these before, but here's another thread. lb is a colorful little blue collar ‘city by the sea’ as they call it -- ie., it’s the 35th densest city in the usa, it’s one of the northernmost cities with a humid, subtropical climate, it has long history of corruption, its divvied into distinct neighborhoods, etc. -- also of note it really got whapped by sandy, but at long last, the beach, the boardwalk and all seem mostly, but certainly not fully, restored -- you still see signs of the storm everywhere. aside from that, the beach town is basically divided into five parts: 1. the northern intercoastal facing area 2. the downtown cbd in the middle 3. the westend with the beachy hangouts, bungalow beach house ‘walk’ alleys and the beach vacation rental ‘state’ streets 4. the fully residential eastend with the boat dock canals 5. and last, but not least, the beachfront with its boardwalk life and apt buildings long beach is a very easy summer getaway day trip via the lirr from penn station. these pics are from a few trips over several seasons -- enjoy! ? more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_Beach,_New_York https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/03/realestate/long-beach-ny-a-bedroom-community-that-began-as-a-resort.html long island …. land of the deli, breakfast rolls, bagels and heros, here brands is a longtime fav first up -- hit the beach -- any season -- that’s why you are there! this is the touristy west end this is the downtown cbd along park ave --- plus a few residential streets around it city government area granada towers (1929, spanish revival) every town has its quirks --- the animal house the east end is residential -- many homes are along several canals -- good for boat people last and least is the residential northern end of town -- nothing really there for day trippers protip -- if i had a real camera you could see the talls in manhattan from the northside back at the train station --- time to go! jamaica lic *** and that’s all folks -- i hope you enjoyed day trippin on long beach ny *** daytrip tip -- besides the beach i highly rec renting a bike and riding around, you can rent sobi city bikes along the boardwalk via their app, or there is bike shop called local cycles on park ave aka the main drag -- it’s run by nice guys who will take care of you -- ?
