Are you a local? Transplant? Somewhere in between?
It doesn’t matter. The North Fork doesn’t go to sleep in the off-season, and while the sun may set a little earlier and the chill ranges from breezy to bitter, there’s plenty of fun to be had until beach season returns. Check out these weeknight activities throughout the North Fork.
