Some driving suggestions we highly recommmend are:

Long Islands South Fork - Southampton Driving Tour
What is known as "Americas Riviera" includes the stretch of Long Island that includes Southampton, Bridgehampton, and Sag Harbor. This 40-mile stretch of countryside and coastline is the most concentrated area of wealth, power, glitz, and glamour in the world. There are countless places to stop along the way, just to name a few are Southampton College Windmill, Shinnecock Hill Golf Club, Conscience Point, Morton National Wildlife Refuge, Long Beach, Sag Harbor, Wailing Museum, Sagg Main Beach, and Dune Road.

Long Islands North Fork Driving Tour
The East End of Long Island has become famous for its world class wines and almost perfect rural peace; a low key region perfect for driving. Along the way you will find revolutionary war era farm houses and Victorian cottages with beautiful porches and gingerbread house-like trim; the rocky shores are home to many steepled churches and pretty village greens, which show a close resemblance to New England. You can drive through historical villages such as New Suffolk and Jamesport, 17th century Southold, and the oystering town of Greenport, as well as Orient, located at Long Islands eastern tip. It is interesting to note that off the North Forks northern shoreline, it is legend that there were pirates and buried treasure, as Captain Kidd himself roamed the waters. However, the most significant is the development of Long Islands wine industry; North Fork has more than 3000 acres under cultivation by two dozen winemakers, nearly half a million visitors a year stop for tastings and tours.

Long Islands North Shore - The Gold Coast Driving Tour
Along Long Islands North Shore, known as the Gold Coast, there are many classic mansions and estates such as Old Westbury Gardens, William Vanderbilts Eagles Nest, and Teddy Roosevelts estate, Sagamore Hill, that rival the chateaux of France and the stately homes of England. You will also be able to pass through charming towns like Oyster Bay and Cold Spring Harbor. A little history of the Gold Coast will reveal that wailing and shipbuilding thrived in the mid 1800s, especially in Cold Spring Harbor, Northport, Stony Brook, and Port Jefferson. At that time a successful wailing expedition could bring in $65,000 in revenue. By the end of the 1800s, the area became a popular place for the elite to build massive estates, of which many are still well-maintain and open to the public. The more popular are Westbury Gardens (a 18th century manor built for John S Phipps who was the son of Andrew Carnegies partner Henry Phipps), Planting Field (insurance tycoon William Robertson Coes estate), and Eagles Nest (a Spanish Baroque extravaganza once home to William K Vanderbilt, Jr). But probably the most well know is Sagamore Hill, the mansion built in the late 1800s by Teddy Roosevelt, which became known as the "Summer White House" between 1902 and 1908.

New Yorks Hudson River Valley
In 1609 Henry Hudson came across what is now known as the Hudson River Valley, at that time he though he had found the Orient. Now it is a place with spectacular landscapes and lush forests, a perfect place to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and enjoy a drive. There are two regions to the valley, the lower is nearer Manhattan and called the Hudson Highlands, where hills rise up to 1000 feet above the river. It is the landscape that inspired Washington Irvings Legend of Sleepy Hollow. When the river reaches the upper valley the hills smooth out but the views are just as spectacular, with farms and estates that have been occupied by the same families for centuries.
