This blog is inspired by the popular reality dating show Love Island USA and its well-recognized cheeky narration - but don’t worry, no true Love Island drama here! Instead, just a playful guide to exploring Long Island’s coolest spots this summer… carry on bombshells!
The Flirt: Patchogue
He likes nightlife all year round and especially loves when all the bars are within walking distance of one another - that way, he doesn’t have to settle down at just one bar. After a night out, he never misses stopping at Tap Room for late-night bites, and all his friends credit him for “putting them on” to the Crispy Dragons appetizer.
The Loyal One: Greenport
He wants to swoon you with charm, dedication, and consistency. Your dream date? And he knows that. A walk along the docks, a chat over some local Long Island wine, dinner at Nookie’s, a ride on the Mitchell Park carousel, and a stay at the Sound View to take in the beautiful panoramic sunset over the water. Picture-perfect and like a Hallmark-movie dream.
The Firecracker: Fire Island
He’s not afraid of something new, but his three favorite things are adventure, good vibes, and the beach. He always chooses the top deck of the ferry on the ride to Fire Island and back, because what’s the point if there’s no view? He’s bold and blunt but embraces his feisty and chaotic side, especially if there’s a rocket fuel or zippy in hand (his go-to drinks). No cars? No problem. His favorite place to have a chat is biking side-by-side or on the beach at Watch Hill.
The Underrated: Huntington
He’s quietly confident and effortlessly cool. He isn’t trying to steal the spotlight, but somehow, he always does. He appreciates thoughtful conversation over brunch at The Shed, a museum date at Heckscher Museum of Art, and live music at The Paramount. He loves a walkable downtown, sleek boutiques, and vibey cocktail bars. He’s artsy, cultured, and a little mysterious.
The It-Guy/Girl: The Hamptons
He’s popular for a reason. He’ll wine and dine you at Topping Rose House, sweep you off your feet with a stroll through Sag Harbor, and make you feel like summer royalty on Coopers Beach, the #1 beach in America, duh! Is he a little too into his skincare routine? Maybe. But when you're busy sipping rosé at Wölffer Estate or watching the sun set over the dunes, you’ll know he's worth the hype.
The Wild Card: Montauk
He’s unpredictable in the best way. One minute you're relaxing with a lobster roll and ocean views at Navy Beach, the next you're dancing barefoot at a beach bonfire or a trendy beach club. He’s not afraid to get salty, sandy, and a little sunburned, but always still makes it look good. His idea of a perfect date? A lazy morning at Ditch Plains with bagel and coffee in hand on the beach, an afternoon exploring downtown, and an evening watching the sun dip behind the iconic Montauk Point lighthouse before heading to his “favorite bar,” which happens to change depending on which bombshell he’s with. He’s spontaneous, adventurous, and keeps you on your toes, but that’s what makes falling for him so fun.
