My friend and I attended the Long Island Wine Tour on Sunday, June 07, 2026. In my booking confirmation, there was a digital waiver that needed to be signed prior to the trip, a lunch form to select a gourmet deli sandwich, list of items to bring, what's included, and the trip itinerary. The lunch options were Turkey, Avocado, & Swiss, Grilled Veggie Sandwich (vegetarian), gluten free: salad (w/ or w/o chicken), or if you prefer to bring your own lunch. I chose the Turkey, Avocado, & Swiss sandwich. On the day of, I went to the pickup location: 41 Union Square W, New York, NY 15 minutes prior to the departure time of 9:00am. Soon after, our tour guide named Joe, told us that the bus was waiting for us around the block since it was too big for the street. The bus had comfy seats, outlets to charge your phone, and a bathroom at the back. After everyone got checked in, Joe introduced herself, gave us a run down of the itinerary, and put on Mrs. Doubtfire while we headed out east. Before we arrived at each winery, Joe told us a little bit about it and what to expect and how long we had at the winery. Lenz Winery was the first winery stop and we were given our sandwich and chips here. The Turkey, Avocado, & Swiss sandwich was a bit dry, but it was something to fill our stomachs. Raphael Winery was the second winery stop. Osprey's Dominion was the third and last winery stop. At each of the wineries, we had several tastings and a bottle of water. My favorite was Raphael Winery. The winery was designed by John Petrocelli who was inspired by the Italian monasteries of his ancestral home and its absolutely beautiful. My friend and I also ordered some food here and it was delicious. A guest in our group even sang in Italian because he was so inspired by the beautiful atmosphere. On the Long Island Wine Tour, we visited 3 award-winning Long Island Wineries on the North Fork region to taste some of the finest vintages in the New York area, had a picnic lunch (a sandwich, chips & bottle of water), received bottle discounts at select vineyards, and round trip transportation from NYC. All the guests in our group were friendly, respectful, and responsible throughout the duration of the trip. Joe kept us on time throughout the trip, but it felt like she was our babysitter and didn't really need to be there. Drop-off was by where they picked us up. Even though I live in Long Island, the Long Island Wine Tour with Sourced Adventures was really fun and it was really nice to enjoy all the wine without worrying about driving. Thank you Sourced Adventures.

One of the trips was the best fluke fishing I have ever been involved in, with both big fish and a large number of fish being caught. Capt. Mike made good use of his knowledge of the fishing grounds and his array of electronics to put us on the fish time after time. On one of the trips I was fishing with two young cousins and Capt Mike and the mate were very patient with the boys, showing them how to fish and making it a great day for all. I highly recommend a fishing trip with the pros on The Codfather.

Like most of you who will be reading this review, I was looking for a place close to NYC to camp…read moreovernight with a few friends, but didn't want to spend too much time traveling out of the NYC area. This was one of my friend's first time camping, and as such, we choose Gateway National Park (Floyd Bennett Field). Here is some information that we wish we had known before booking. Overall, it was good to get out of the city, but there are some downsides as described below. 1) Get some good bug spay cause there are lots of mosquitoes. A couple of trails were actually closed due to the mosquitoes in the area. However, once we lathered ourselves with insect repellent with 99.9% Deet, the bugs didn't mess with us too much. 2) The raccoons come out at night. We were informed that there was a raccoon problem, and that you should put all of your food before dark. The person was right. Make sure you bring something to store the food in (cooler or other locking container) and you will not have any problems. 3) The campsites are pretty much in an open field. Sites T14 and T15 have some privacy, but the rest are open for everyone to see. Also, the grey on the campsite map is a real depiction of the paved areas. The areas surrounding the campsites are old paved runways, so expect cars and motorcycles driving around the area. 4) Noise...what noise? Having previously participated in a couple of 5Ks at Floyd Bennett Field, I knew that there could be some activities there during the day. However, we were truly surprised at the incessant woman on the loudspeaker screaming "3..2..1..GOOO!", the guy practicing landing a helicopter from 2:00 - 8:00 PM, the jets flying over to land at JFK until 11:00 PM (not too bad, because the noise was mostly subdued by the woman on the loud speaker), and the jets taking off starting at 6:00 AM (this was a LOUD wake up call). 5) There are flushable and clean bathrooms by the camp store that are open from 8:00 AM to 7:30 PM. Also, you can purchase firewood at the camp store. The staff there are very friendly and can also provide tips on local food and entertainment.

Now that I'm older, I take advantage of the activities on the boardwalk. The past few years some friends and I go and listen to music when they have special events. Afterwards we go and get some food and snacks. There's always something to do even if you're just sitting and enjoying the beautiful weather and people watch. You can bring your own food and drinks and just chill. Parking is tight if you want to be close to the boardwalk. Train stations are very close and there are tons of places to eat on and off the boardwalk. This is definitely a place to check out in the spring/summer.

In fact, there aren't really any signs at all. The entrance to the bay is location at a dead end where people illegally park. It's a small sandy area where people were setting up fires, grills, a smoker, having parties, with dogs and kids running everywhere. There were about a dozen people jet skiing - right up to the sand on the shore - while little kids were swimming very close by. There was even a guy on a water hovercraft - totally solo - flying 30ft in the air. It was a pretty interesting scene. TBH, there was tons of garbage everywhere and I definitely wouldn't swim at this beach. The dog friendly part was just OK. If you have your dog and want to bring them off leash, walk to the very end where the bay curves. There's a lot more space and it's less crowded. There weren't really other dogs to interact with once you got away from the crowds of people. Just as an expectation- since this is basically an undesignated beach - there are no amenities like a bathroom, hose/shower onsite, or lifeguard. The quality of the water looked questionable. I think people come here because they can get away with doing illegal beach stuff without the risk of beach rangers catching you, and less because of the quality of the beach that's been clearly neglected.

Today, we spend the day in the area for his birthday and finally came to this location. They had so many pieces we both wanted. I left with a jacket, shorts, a top and a hat. My husband left with a bag, pants and a top. I love that there were things on sale, most of my items were 25% off. I love that the staff member at the register was so nice and friendly and made sure my husband provided his info for his online acct so he can get points on his order. He was able to redeem an additional $10 off. I asked The guy at the register about a bathroom and he told me it was by the fitting rooms. When i went back there, the guy there said they are strict on bathroom usage and i told him, look my husband is currently paying right now. So he saw i was saying the truth and was kind and let me go. Their bathrooms are really clean. He didn't give me a hard time, he just looked nervous like he didn't want to get into any trouble. I will def be back to this location.

They let me shop as I would without bothering much more after which is great to not be hounded after an initial greeting. After finding what I needed the cashier was nice and friendly also making sure I had an account to get some reward points(which I already have because it's Carhartt duh!!!) and I was able to use reward points on my purchase in store which saved me a couple dollars.
