Hamptons Connection Tours offers some great tours that are geared for singles and adults. The tour company is owned and operated by Elise Goodheart, a New York City transplant who moved full-time to the Hamptons 15 years ago. Leaving a career in public relations and marketing in New York City, Goodheart ran a well respected Fine Arts and Events Planning company in Sag Harbor. It is with her extensive knowledge of all the best this area has to offer that she has created all-inclusive tour packages that provides not only a window into how the other half lives in the “happening Hamptons,” but allows her clientele to turn this famously beautiful resort into their very own playground and sanctuary. For additional information about these tours, or to book a tour, click on Getting Away Accommodations Information and Reservations. NOTE: As this reservation form is primarily for hotels and other accommodations, just type "Hamptons Connection Tours" in the space for the name of the hotel would normally go, and Hamptons for the city and New York for the state and I will know what you want information on.

- Recommendation from a regular visitor of Getting Away sent to us via email. "Dear Jim, Astoria and Long Island City has so many great places to dine, however a new favorite of mine Ischia di Saporo. It is in a warehouse section of Queens, little known to most folks. It is lovely dining and a small market as well. The family imports all products from Ischia and creates delicious dishes indigenous to this part of Italy. Located on 56th St. and 37th Ave., Telephone # 718-446-1500. You must make reservations because it's very small. Enjoy... Judi.".
