2017 East End Guide to Water Sports

Summer on eastern Long Island is a utopia for sea-faring individuals. Whether it's a dip in the ocean or a thrilling jet ski ride, the East End has it all. For those of you interested in the more exhilarating ocean activities, we’re here with your 2017 guide to water sports!

Stand-Up Paddleboarding

Want to get a new perspective on the wonders of the East End? Grab a stand-up paddleboard (SUP) and get out on the water! A SUP board looks like a very large surf board, except you stand on it and row — if you’re skilled enough, you can even practice yoga on it. This water sport can be done in both the ocean and still water. So this summer, grab your board and check out these hot spots:
  • Cedar Beach County Park, Southold
  • Cedar Point County Park, East Hampton
  • Fort Pond Bay, Montauk
  • Georgica Pond, East Hampton
  • Indian Island County Park, Riverhead
  • Mecox Bay, Southampton
  • Meschutt Beach County Park, Hampton Bays
  • Montauk County Park, Montauk
  • Northwest Harbor County Park, East Hampton
  • Orient Beach State Park, Orient


Surfing
Ready to hang ten? There are a number of awesome places to catch waves throughout the east end. If you’re new to the sport, be aware that the Atlantic front can be stronger than some other family friendly locations. We can’t predict how the surf will be on any given day, but we can give you a few suggestions on where to start:
  • Flying Point, Southampton
  • Jetty 4, Westhampton Beach
  • Shinnecock Inlet, Hampton Bays


Jet Skiing
Looking for something that packs a little bit more punch? Head out to the bays and rent a couple of jet skis! Check out the following rental companies to get your adrenaline fix:

If you're looking to take your summer up a notch, why not head to the East End in style? Make your excursion a day to remember! Dynasty Limousine can accommodate groups of all sizes with our extensive and luxurious fleet. Contact us today at: 631-587-8500.

Spend Your Saturday at Smorgasburg

Memorial Day Weekend marks the official start of summer — that means, the days of outdoor restaurants, rooftop bars, and open-air food flea markets are upon us! A staple among New Yorkers and Long Islanders alike is Brooklyn's famous Smorgasburg. The food festival features almost 100 vendors that sell mind-blowingly delicious treats. That’s why we’ve compiled a list of the vendors you’ve just GOT to try this weekend!


Baked Cheese Haus:
These Wisconsin cheese fiends have brought raclette to Brooklyn! Whats raclette you ask? A block of cheese is melted on a heated stand and then scraped onto Baked Cheese Haus' signature subs — toasted baguettes with cured ham, cornichons, and green onions.



Burrito Juarez:
These Juárez natives joined forces to serve the same Mexican burritos found in their hometown. — Spoiler Alert: They put Chipotle to shame. The wheat tortillas are made fresh to order and layered with your choice of fillings. Choose from refried beans, organic chicken or brisket, fresh chile sauce, and more.



Destination Dumplings:
Indulge in fresh and crispy pan-fried dumplings inspired by flavors from all over the world. Queens natives, Tristan Chin-Fatt and Andrew Steinberg, were influenced by their culturally diverse heritages — Chinese-Jamaican and African American-Jewish, respectively.

John’s Juice
Using a super fancy imported Japanese machine, John's Juice instantly blends juices inside their skins. The result is a delicious juice in a waste-free receptacle — did we mention they make for awesome Instagram pictures!?


A post shared by pop_pasta (@pop_pasta) on

Pop Pasta:
Two words: Spaghetti Donut — What more do you need to know? Similar to a traditional Italian spaghetti pie, strands of spaghetti are molded into donut form and baked until crispy and delicious. Choose from red sauce, aglio e olio, or carbonara style.



Strange Flavor Burger Shack:
Looking for a spicy twist? Strange Flavor Burger Shack infuses America's favorite dishes with heat! Some of our favorite menu items include the fried sesame pancake stuffed with spicy mayo brisket and cucumber salad covered in chili oil.

5 Secrets to Crushing the Wedding Game

Of course, the most important part of your wedding is the ceremony itself, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t throw an out-of-this-world reception to celebrate your nuptials with friends and family. Never fear, we’re here with five secrets to crushing the wedding game!

  1. Plan Surprise Entertainment: The best wedding receptions are the ones where you don’t know what’s coming next. Plan some unexpected entertainment during cocktail hour or dinner — like a professional dance performance (check out The Honey Taps) or aerial entertainment.

    A post shared by stanley green (@stanbymee) on

  1. Serve a Leisurely Dinner: Let’s be honest —  the best part of every wedding is cocktail hour? So why limit yourself to only ONE hour. Instead of a sit-down dinner, opt for something more leisurely. Make cocktail hour last all night long so guests can mingle, dance, and have their fill of yummy food whenever they get hungry.

    A post shared by VIP Caterers (@vipcaterers) on

  1. Add a Lounge: Sometimes, weddings are so much fun your guests need a little break! Designate an area of your reception, whether it’s outside or in the lobby area, for your guests to lounge for a few minutes after they’ve given it all they have on the dance floor!
  1. Keep Your Guests Informed: Don’t forget to keep your guests informed. Nothing is worse than planning an epic after party, only to have most of your guests go home because they didn’t know it was occurring. Chalkboard signs or a framed itinerary on each table are a cute way to get the word out.
  1. Make Transportation Arrangements for Guests: Are you reserving a hotel block for friends and out-of-town guests? They’ll be thrilled to find out you’ve arranged to have a shuttle bus bring them to and from the venue. Again, be sure to let everyone know in advance so they can plan accordingly. This can easily be done by adding a note to the accommodations card in your invitation.
