Traveling Down Long Island to the City
If the other days were food-centric, this final day is the Holy Grail. There are as many varieties and delicacies along the way as you can count. Be careful not to fill up too much at any one stop, or you may not be hungry for the next! From fresh bakery to tavern fare, classic pizza to fried mussels, and plenty in between, as you make your way down Long Island, you get to see the vast culinary landscape that centres in New York.
