East Hampton Visitors Guide From Manhattan Mogul Elie Hirschfeld

NEW YORK, April 13 /PRNewswire/ -- As a longtime resident, Manhattan real estate tycoon and President of Hirschfeld Properties, LLC, Elie Hirschfeld announces his picks for the best spots in East Hampton. These suggestions are tailored to active vacationers who are aiming to get the most out of their summer experience.

• Best Running Route: Lily Pond Lane and Lee Avenue features wide streets with little traffic, shade and vistas of magnificent "beach cottage" estates.

• For the Serious Biker: Montauk Highway, from East Hampton to Montauk, is a 35-mile round trip ride on well-maintained roads with safe, wide shoulders.

• Top Gym Facilities: The YMCA East Hampton RECENTER is a facility with lots of activities for bad weather days including an Olympic-sized pool for swimming.

• Great for Golfers: Poxabogue is ideal for the family in need of a less challenging course that caters to kids. Sag Harbor Golf Club offers a more luxurious experience where golfers can get their fix. There are also some pristine private courses as well.

• For the Foodies: The best restaurants in East Hampton combine a cozy, rustic ambience with top-rated cuisine.  The most historic venues are 1770 House, James Lane Cafe and Maidstone Arms, but vacationers should also check out Cafe Max, Golden Pear and Lodge 31.

• Fine Art Fix: Artistic minds can take in local history and culture by enjoying the best art galleries and museums East Hampton has to offer including Vered Gallery, Wally Findlay Galleries, Wallace Gallery, and the Guild Hall Museum.

• Best for Beach Bums: Georgia Beach, located at the end of Lily Pond Lane at Apaquogue Road, is the most beautiful beach by far.  Those looking for a crowd and snack bar should head to Main Beach at the opposite end of Lily Pond Lane.  The mile walk from Georgia Beach to Main Beach offers fantastic views of the Atlantic Ocean on one side and breathtaking estates on the other.
