The Long Island shortlists
Four running guides to the places locals actually go — updated as businesses claim their spot.
Best Brunch Spots
Late plates, bottomless pours and harbor-side tables — the brunch rooms Long Islanders actually line up for, from the North Fork to the South Shore.
Best Bars
Dive bars, cocktail rooms and dockside decks — where Long Islanders actually end up on a Friday, from Huntington Village to the Greenport waterfront.
Best Cafés
Serious espresso, good pastry and a table you can actually work at — the independent coffee rooms worth the drive across the Island.
Best Shopping
Main-street boutiques, record stores, vintage racks and makers' shops — the independent places worth a whole afternoon.
