You'd pass by Nickerson Beach Campground if you're going to Nickerson Beach. They're actually the same address. On my visit there were about 6-8 RVs but I cannot say if they were occupied. I'm thinking they were because I stopped off to use their washroom and there was a cleaning person on duty. The campground looks huge but I can't say how many RVs it can hold. The End.

It is expensive, service at the restaurant was slow, and there was a party boat going late into the night which made it less quiet than expected. We stayed out when they first opened and loved it so much but then didn't have any issues with boats, and also the price was half the cost then which makes much more sense for the experience. Still a fun and memorable stay, just not quite as relaxing as it could be.

If you want to experience dull yet unrelenting pain then you should book a "retreat" here. Let me first explain the type of person I am as to provide some reference point. I was raised in a hot trailer park in South Texas. I worked menial jobs with bosses that would make drill sergeants seem pleasant. Oh, and my step father was an abusive alcoholic, I've been burned with cigarettes as a child. I've spent two years in prison. One of which was in Rikers island. I am absolutely not a soft person who needs life easy. All that being said. You will absolutely regret staying here unless you are a refugee from Haiti. If you are used to living without uncertainty and chaos then please heed this warning. First, our reservation. We paid 800 for a very specific reservation on their website. I paid for an upgraded room and was shown the cowboy Suite. I patiently waited over 45 mins to check in to an un busy tent at 8pm. The women seemed very uninterested and said she didn't see our reservation. I left the tent because my wife was hungry. So we had dinner at the restaurant. When I returned she tried to give me another place but it was basically a box. My wife and I insisted we had booked the cowboy suite. Much talking and deliberation I showed her my credit card charge and the amount on the app that I was charged. She said it wasn't available because and I quote, "yes we have lots of availability but they aren't cleaned until someone books them." Unfortunately they never emailed me a confirmation. I should have known something was wrong.

Great way to get out of the city with no thought or planning on your part…read more Found this group through zozi. One 8 mile hike on the Appalachian Trail later, I'm very grateful. Yes, you're paying someone to pick you up, drive you to the trail head and lead the hike, but be honest.... you weren't gonna get in that hike you've been meaning to do between you and your measly zipcar subscription. I loved using this service and I would do it again. That they pick up three blocks from my house certainly didn't hurt... Our hike to Sunfish Pond in NE Pennsylvania was gorgeous, especially on the way back as it crossed a winter stream several times and my knees and hips started to ache, in the good way. But the best part was that I made some great friends. Really interesting New Yorkers tend to click on "Buy" under "8 mile winter hike". Who knew?? As much as I knew I'd like the hike, I ended up liking the company as well which was worth even more. We stopped for food at a great restaurant called (not kidding) "Beer from Here, Food from Near." Recommend the Session Stout though all four of my brand new friends got the Blonde Ale and loved it. There was traffic on the way back... and I wasn't driving! Yay.

I love Living Adventure Tours!…read more The first trip I went on was back in May--a friend had found an offer through a deal site and sent on the link. And--miracle of miracles, since I feel talking about things is one thing, but actually getting people to commit can sometimes feel impossible--three of us actually signed up. I'd been on a few trips through Discover Outdoors, so I imagined it'd be similar ... but it wasn't. It was way, way funner. The leader, Vaughn, is low-key and funny and makes it clear that he really WANTS to be out there, leading hikes. I always felt that the Discover Outdoor guides were kind of hiking snobs who were only leading a group of New Yorkers because they had to. And while Vaughn definitely knows his stuff, you can tell he really digs introducing newbies to hiking. The hike was fun, and the winery was RIDICULOUS. We had an awesome tasting, then everyone in the group bought bottles of wine, and pretty much got tanked. People were talking to each other, sharing snacks, and it was a really, really fun afternoon. And then Vaughn brought us to a cute farmstand AND dealt with everyone being loud and ridiculous in the van ride home. I went on another hike this fall, and it was just as good. Vaughn is flexible to the needs/wants of the group (we ended up doing two hikes, since the original itinerary was to a place affected by Sandy) then stopped at a cute NJ brewery for dinner. I've gone with friends both times, but it's not necessary. Vaughn is so friendly and good at facilitating conversation that you'd have a good time solo. But if you'd prefer to chill with your friends, as long as you're friendly to the rest of the group, that's fine, too. It's not like, mandatory hand holding and Kumbahya singing--just good people, good times, and a great way to get out of the city for the day. I will absolutely be going on more adventures!

I found this hotel/BnB through a friend. I stayed for 7 nights and had a fabulous stay…read more The room was large and airy with a tons of windows. The bed was comfortable, the linens crisp cotton, the ensuite bathroom in my room (the other 2 rooms have private baths accessed from the hall, but exclusive to the rooms) was large and newly renovated. The room had a flat screen TV with all the cable stations, including premium channels. Arlington Pl. is a quiet street, yet within a five minute walk to a main drag with restaurants, pharmacy, grocery stores et al. I felt welcome and at home. The 'innkeeper', who lives on the property, was helpful in every way. There are several large public rooms that guests can just hang out in. They have done a great job remodeling this property. Highly recommended!

What's worse is I had the privilege of experiencing this during my wedding weekend. Left a few messages leading up to the weekend which went unreturned so I decided to stop by. You would have thought I'd broken in. I understand there was an event going on but there are nicer ways to be ushered out. Had my rehearsal dinner at the B&B the Friday night before the wedding (some of the guests sat in the garden behind the kitchen) and actually had the next door neighbor come by to say the event was supposed to end at 8pm. We weren't loud and only went until 8:45pm which is pretty tame for the Friday before Memorial Day. We offered to pay for it but were told by Ambyr that wasn't necessary as long as we finished by 9:00pm which we did. Last fatal error - stayed here with my new husband on my wedding night. The neighbor in the brownstone directly behind ours held a loud backyard party (complete with a live band) that went until 3:00 am. Ambyr, who manages the Inn, said she had gone over to the neighbors to say the party was affecting her guests and went so far as to videotape it so she could show Liz just how awful it was. She even told me that given our proximity to the whole thing that she had recommended to Liz that we be comped for the night (a courtesy that Liz was adamant about not extending). Had I been staying anywhere else one of three things would have happened - we would have comped, offered a different room (not possible given the size of the B&B) or offered a free return visit. As recompense we were generously not charged for the 45 minutes that we went over for our rehearsal dinner - something Ambyr was already not charging us for. And while Ambyr was apologetic about my horrific wedding night and understood when I told her that I almost checked out of the B&B that night, Liz didn't even have the decency to reach out to us. I truly got the impression that she could have cared less. Being an absentee innkeeper is totally fine (especially given Liz's less than warm personality) but at least consider empowering the person managing the Inn to make appropriate judgment calls. If she says she's not going to charge us for something, don't charge us. If she says it was a horrible night and that we should be comped, take her word for it since she was actually there. It's all well and good to have a fancy inn full of beautiful things but it's the people that make the B&B and judging by that standard, this place fails miserably. https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g60827-d8664004-r381846457-Arlington_Place_Bed_and_Breakfast-Brooklyn_New_York.html#

It was last minute her plans changed for my birthday weekend. She was trying to kill two birds with one stone. From Queens, the drive was about 30-40 minutes. We checked in around 3:00 pm today. Steve (the owner) surprised us with some good news. Phew, he found someone to book our Saturday night. We were relieved. Wow, a breathtaking view of Manhasset Bay from our room. There are complimentary hot/cold beverages and snacks by the hotel lobby. Also, don't forget your complimentary breakfast. Our room was spacious, clean, and relaxing. I love the rainfall shower heads. The perfect spot for stargazing was sitting on the deck. We enjoyed our stay! Thank you so much, Steve and Cindie! I highly recommend Fathoms Hotel and Marina!

This was my second cruise with Norwegian and my first one was with Escape leaving from Florida and I think that one set the standard pretty high. There weren't that many activities to do on the Gem, we had 4 broadway-like shows during our 12 day cruise, other nights they either had magic shows (not that great) or some singers singing. The food options weren't that great too and their water had an inconsistent taste so we bought some bottled water on the ship (pricey though!). In terms of the islands we visited, you do get to see some lovely views from different island tours. Make sure to bargain with the people selling when you arrive, it's better if you have a larger group. That way you'll get to negotiate for a private car/tour (groups of 7 works) usually around 20-25ish. Breakfast at grand pacific is good. At the Asian restaurant, fried rice and green tea ice cream are probably the only 2 things I'd recommend.
