By late fall, the crowds have ebbed on Long Island's North Fork, making it the perfect time for a visit. Here are some suggestions to make the most of your weekend.

Head farther east to Orient for farm stands and spectacular views of the Peconic Bay and the Long Island Sound
Check out the Art Bar at VEME Studios

Check out one of the North Fork's 40 vineyards. We recommend Meadowlark, Coffee Pot Cellars, or Bedell Cellars
