Visiting the North Fork in October - PSA
I just wanted to say good luck to anyone visiting the farm stands, wineries, etc. on the North Fork over the next couple of weekends. Traffic is INSANE!! I just got back from picking up my kids in Mattituck and the traffic was crawling for miles heading west. Earlier when I dropped them off it was crawling heading east. Not many roads in and out of the North Fork. Just a PSA

Re: Visiting the North Fork in October - PSA
I live out here but I have to say that the traffic in the fall is much worse than summer traffic. It used to be the other way around when I was growing up. Oh how things change.

When the DH and i started going it was about 6 years ago..
We were able to get the majority of the wine tasting for free
Before people started building up the tasting rooms
Rapheal was still being built !
I would say over the past 4 years though we have seen such awakening there...Couldn't believe it actually..
But i can see why

I dont know, i dont think they will ever widen the roads. Southold town wants to keep its "country charm" and not turn into Riverhead.

Maybe its the locals way of saying "if you want to enjoy our neck of the woods you have to endure some hassle"

Do you think it will be less busy on a Sunday? We are not driving, so I guess it shouldn't really bother us. We rented a limo.

We're headed out there next weekend for the holiday w/e and our anniversary. We were debating whether to go Sunday or Monday and now I'm sure we should go Monday! Thanks!
