汉普顿的夏天渐渐结束了
随着夏季的非正式结束,我们看到了Reedy岛,一个坐落在Moneyboque湾的小岛,对面是纽约长岛的Westhampton海滩。汉普顿是一个拥有大量沙滩的村庄和小村庄的集合,长期以来,这里一直是寻求逃离这座城市的纽约人流行的高档避暑胜地。今年,这种迁移很早就开始了,因为城市居民在春天向东迁移,以寻求空间与社会的距离。在夏天,海滩当然是主要的景点,但该地区也以餐饮和夜生活(包括名人参观)、酿酒厂、家庭拥有的农场和农场摊位而闻名。而夏末并非都是坏消息,至少对当地经济来说是这样。随着气温的降低和人群(通常)的减少,农场开始转向苹果酒和南瓜,到了11月,山核桃海湾扇贝开始收获。

As summer unofficially wraps up, we're looking at Reedy Island, an islet that sits in Moneyboque Bay, across from Westhampton Beach on Long Island, New York. The Hamptons is a collection of villages and hamlets with plenty of sandy beachfront that have long been a popular upscale summer destination for New Yorkers looking to escape the city. This year, that migration started early, as city dwellers headed east in the spring in search of space to social distance. In summer, the beaches, of course, are the main attraction, but the area is also known for dining and nightlife (complete with celebrity spotting), wineries, and family-owned farms and farm stands. And the end of summer isn't all bad news, at least for the local economy. As temperatures cool and crowds (usually) thin out, the farms shift gears to apple cider and pumpkins, and by November, the harvesting of Peconic Bay scallops begins.
