LONG ISLAND, NY — When most people think of Long Island, they probably think of the Hamptons. But there's so many more places to explore in this 118-mile island we call home.
For residents or those just visiting who want to explore a part of the island that might not be mentioned as much, Thrillist recently released its list of 15 underrated towns on Long Island.
"On the way 'out east,' as we say, there’s a common misconception that things don’t get interesting until you pass Riverhead, where the island splits into the North and South Forks," the article reads. "But despite its middle-child status, the midsection of Long Island is full of pitstop-worthy destinations, offering up historic New England vibes to the north and sublime beaches and nightlife to the south."
