Montauk Point

Montauk Point is the eastern-most part of Long Island. It's often called "The End" because it's where land ends and the Atlantic Ocean begins. Montauk has a historic lighthouse and small fishing town.

Lately I've been watching a terrific TV show called "The Affair." Much of the show takes place in Montauk and was filmed there. I thought it'd be fun to visit the place since I haven't seen it in years. Montauk is about two hours from where I live and a good choice for the holiday weekend; I avoided bad traffic on both ends of the holiday weekend by making a day-trip Sunday.

Here are some pics from the trip. By the way, do you like my shirt? It's one of the rare pieces of menswear I've bought from a thrift-store. I saw it on my trip last month to Hudson, NY. I seldom wear designs as flamboyant as this but the single color sold me on it.

  3. Love your shirt--and your photos! I haven't been to Montauk in years but thought about it a lot whil watching the Affair--how great is that show, by the way? I love how it highlights different points of view and the details men/women notice.

    Ps--that big duck is amazing!!

  4. Montauk is a great place and while I have not been that far east in years it is a place that I would go back to in the future.

  5. The duck!!! I would live in a giant duck house :)

    That shirt is a good find! Hawaiian-style shirts are where men can really bust out in fashion.

  7. Oh your trip looked great, I have been meaning to get out here. I found this morning on the ride in on the train with the hour and half wait outside the tunnel as I spoke with my neighbor that you can go whale watching in Montauk, so cool! And love the shirt.
