City Island

"Many people live in New York for years and never visit City Island, but it's worth the small voyage--especially if you like fish.  With all sorts of boats for hire, fishing trips on the nearby waters, and fresh seafood available at cars along the shore, City Island is a surprisingly lively seaside resort, and a pretty sight from the deck of a sailboat in the sound.  Visit www.cityisland.com for more information."  -- The Best Things to Do in New York
