LI LifestyleLong Island, former land of potato fields, oyster beds, and duck ponds has become one of the strongest, and most resilient, economic powers in the country. It even survived the loss of its largest industry and rebounded so quickly that economists began calling it the “Long Island Miracle.”
Long Island always has been a special place, unique in ambiance, rich in history, rooted in tradition. It is a startling blend of quaint villages and high technology research centers; of quiet, wave-lapped coves and bustling downtowns. It sent Lindbergh to Paris and the Lunar Landing Module to the moon. In the 1940s, it built World War II fighter planes; today, it develops cancer-fighting drugs. Long Island always has used the inspiration of the past to create the innovations of the future.
Inspiration seems to be in the waters here. Countless authors, artists, filmmakers, performers, and inventors found their inspiration on Long Island. From Walt Whitman to Jackson Pollack; from Leroy Grumman to Billy Joel; from Alan King to Billy Crystal, Long Island has bred more talent than any other place on the nation.
And, speaking of the waters, Long Island is surrounded by them. The Atlantic Ocean to the south; Long Island Sound to the north. And being surrounded by water means beaches, boating, and, above all, beauty. Visitors to Long Island are amazed to find that in addition to being a vibrant place, it also is an exceptionally beautiful place. In fact, Long Island is one of the most picturesque places in America. A place that draws over 20 million visitors each year.
There is a reason all those people come here. Long Island truly is a great place to live and raise a family; a vibrant place to do business.
