NYCPHP Meetup

[PUTAMARE]

I haven't been in a couple of years myself, but I used to enjoy group  
camping here:

http://www.nps.gov/fiis/Camping/camping.html
http://www.watchhillfi.com/camping.htm

We can definitely drink (there is a liquor store a ten minute walk from  
the campsite) & eat (BBQ!). The group site is a large circle big enough  
to accommodate even the largest nerdathon. As camping goes, it is  
probably the most comfortable place I've been. Nearby  
restaurant/grocery store/liquor store, solar-heated showers, etc. The  
ground is sand and quite comfortable, and the constant sound of the  
ocean always makes me sleep well (especially with a belly-full of that  
devil juice).

To get to the island, you need to take a ferry from Patchogue (about an  
hour from Penn Station). The location is mainly a dockage for boat  
people (why do those people spend so much money to sit at a dock and  
watch tv?), but has a small shack for coffee and bacon egg & cheezes  
for those of us unwilling to make our own in the a.m.
