In the same vein as "Hamptons Pleasures" and "The Hamptons", "North Fork Living" explores another part of Long Island that has long drawn tourists seeking solace from the tireless demands of city life. Harry Haralmabou's evocative words and images capture the local character of the region and the integrity of each town in its architecture and landscape. A brief history about the area and interesting anecdotes about the towns, local landmarks, vineyards, lighthouses, churches and natural beauty reveal the essence and charm of this beautiful place throughout the year. The relatively recent development of vineyards and wineries will also be discussed and accompanied by a complete listing of locations.
