Things to Do

See below for some ideas of how to spend your free time during your trip! Brian and I have added some activities, restaurants and coffee spots that you may be interested in trying! Most of these spots are more in the Locust Valley, Glen Cove, and Oyster Bay areas (all within a 30 min drive). We aren't as familiar with the Roslyn area, where some of you may be staying in the hotel block, but feel free to explore Roslyn as well as it is a beautiful town!
