Long Island and its shopping malls

Long Island is the largest island on America’s East Coast – 1682 sq mi and the most varied. From west to east, it encompasses two New York City boroughs (Brooklyn and Queens), congested commuter towns, the farmland of the North Fork, and the world famous summer resorts of the Hamptons and Montauk on the South Fork. It has arguably the nation’s finest stretch of white sand beach as well as the notoriously clogged Lon Island Expressway (LIE).

Long Island is known for its shopping malls. With Fendi, Prada, Burberry ad the like, Americana Manhasset is about as high end as a mall can get. Roosevelt Field has more than 220 stores, including anchors Bloomingdale’s, Macy’s and Nordstrom. Coach, Nike, and Pottery Barn are some of the names at Tanger Outlet.
