The Big Gay Ice Cream Shop. This overt ice cream parlor has garnered quite a reputation for itself as being big, gay and delicious. The lines speak for itself. Note: This is on the same block as Porchetta. See where I'm going with this?

Sandy Hook Beach. This seven-mile stretch of beach in New Jersey is a lovely way to escape for an afternoon. The Jersey Shore bound ferry will sail you through New York Harbor where you can view Ellis Island, The Statue of Liberty, Fort Wadsworth Lighthouse, The Verrazano-Narrows Bridge, Hoffman Island, Swinburne Island, West Bank Lighthouse, and Romer Shoal Lighthouse.
Jane's Carousel. According to the website, "Jane's Carousel was created in 1922, the heyday of the American Carousel, by the Philadelphia Toboggan Company (P.T.C.). Designated as P.T.C. No. 61, it was originally installed in Idora Park in Youngstown, Ohio, then a prosperous steel-making city. The Carousel has been fully restored back to it's original elegance." I don't know...it's an historic carousel in a glass case on the East River. Get on board.
