Simple Really

The North Fork? Where is it you ask? Follow the LIE east all the way to the end. Exit to the North Fork, the sister of the south fork (better know as the Hamptons). A different vibe altogether. Less traffic, more peace. Plenty of hotels, restaurants, places to buy  props, caterers, everything you need for your crew and your shoot. Dare I say a bit less expensive too.

History of Wine 101

Enter vineyard, drive straight past weathered shingle historical house number one on left and barn aka tasting room on right. Keep driving. Pass pond and ice house on left. Keep driving. Pass 30 year old vines on right and left. Keep driving. See historical house number two on left. Keep driving...oops water. Yes folks, we have a vineyard on the water replete with  beautiful trees, vast lawns, gorgeous vines, a swan or two in the pond and an old pick-up in the yard. Sort of storybook I'd say. I'm thinking put a tent next to the water and have a party. View the vineyard.

Where's Ralph?

Where is Ralph Lauren?  Don't you see Ralph shooting an ad here in amongst the horses and stables. The models are leading a gorgeous horse around the beautiful tree lined property. Okay it's a little cliche but you get the picture. Wouldn't you want to throw up a tent and have your wedding here?  Look at that stable. It's huge and fancy with that red roof and copper cupolas. And what about the white fencing and gorgeous mature growth trees. The house is what you would expect to see, a large white colonial with years of history to recommend it. Oh and it is a  hilltop location with a view of the water. I'd say a spring or fall wedding for sure. Now that I am on a roll. It's a perfect backdrop for a hoedown. Bring on the tent, dance floor, fiddle players and BBQ.

Mississippi Juke Joint

The minute you step into the barn you are transported back in time and across state lines. Actually the time warp feeling starts as the barn comes into view. It is dark and weathered with an old red and white Phillips 66 sign near the entrance. The interior is full of antique signs, album covers and furniture. The center of the barn is set up for music and dancing. On one side of the dance floor there is a room with a pool table, juke box and a wood burning stove. On the other side is a kitchen with an antique fridge, coke machine and sink.   Climb the staircase to the loft. Slide into a booth and have a drink. The bar and tables are painted red. The booth seating is black and the bar stools are pure vintage with silver metal legs and red and black cushioned seats.

The look of the place is dark and moody. You can imagine a cigarette smoke filled juke joint down the road a piece. It's a place to escape to after a hard work week. Blow off some steam, dance until you are hot and sweaty, grab a drink, shoot some pool and then get back on that dance floor for the next set. People are tapping their feet to the music as they watch from above. A serious pool game is taking place in the side room. Someone is going to lose big. The old time blues music is drowning out the chatter at the bar. The dance floor is full.

The owner did an amazing job putting it together. The attention to detail really captures the mood of an old juke joint. View location S114 under photo albums. Please feel free to contact me regarding this location at info@locatethis.net or 631-805-6252.
