Reader's Choice: Favorite Places to Spend Your 'Staycation'

You don’t have to leave your home town to have a great break. So what local attractions top your itineraries?

Let’s face it, sometimes you just need a break and not a big vacation with hefty travel fees and the dilemma of getting that big pile of clothes into a way-too-small suitcase. In those cases, locals go the ‘staycation’ route, exploring the many attractions right in their home towns.

This week let’s find out what local ‘staycation’ haunts are at the top of people’s itineraries.

Maybe you like to hit the links at Sunken Meadow or tee off at Indian Head Golf, grab a massage at Park Circle Health and Wellness, visit a local beach or ride the hike and bike trail.

Readers’ Choice is a new weekly feature where we ask you – our readers – to tell us your top picks on the businesses and local attractions that get your loyalty.

Each Monday we’ll list our nominees recommendations. Did we leave your go-to spot off the list? Go ahead and add it in comments.

On Friday we’ll tabulate all of the poll votes, comments, recent directory reviews and emails and crown a Reader’s Choice. Please only vote once in the poll, because any attempt to game the results could end up in your favorite businesses being disqualified.

Here are our nominees:

My family and I like to go down to Northport harbor, and the surrounding neighborhood. Sit on the pier and watch the many boats coming in and out. Walk through the park. Listen to music at the bandshell on some summer nights. Have an old fashioned ice cream cone at a store on main street. Shop the antique stores and spend your husbands money,(only kidding). Can't wait to go.

i believe the best way to locate your teacher is through the commack teachers association (cta).Read More contact the union president, tris stewart, and write a short note. include all the contact information you're comfortable with and wait a bit? 33 years is a long time. good luck.

I know exactly what she's about and that's why I'm trying to spread the word. She confronts theRead More lies and the deceit in the Affordable Care Act. And that needs to be brought to the forefront
