Being that this is Thanksgiving, I feel nostalgic. So, I have chosen to write a review on a road…read morethat brought me to one of the first Thanksgiving dinners that I remember back in the late 70's at the Coram Diner. Considering that it has been ages that I ate in the Coram Pond Diner, I have decided to review N.Y. State Route 112, the highway that the Coram Pond Diner is off of. N.Y. 112 is a major north to south highway connecting Montauk Highway/County Route 80 in Patchogue in the South Shore to NY Route 25A in Port Jefferson Station in the North Shore. It follows the right-of-way of the Patchogue to Port Jefferson street car line. In 2013, even with the NY DOT improvements the highway is still antiquated and dangerous. This review follows NY 112 northbound and reviews it in segments separated by major highways. Montauk Highway to County Route 99 Woodside Avenue From its southernmost point to Woodside Avenue, NY 112 is a four lane highway that travels through a commercial stretch of Patchogue and Medford. This includes an overpass carrying the road across Sunrise Highway. In recent years, a Shop Rite replaced a Home Depot to the south of a Path Mark making it a competitive area for supermarket shopping. County Route 99 to I-495 Long Island Expressway North of Woodside Avenue, NY 112 is a major Long Island center of car dealerships. Unfortunately this stretch of highway would make an awful automobile commercial. North of Woodside Avenue, NY 112 narrows to a congested two lane highway with a central turning lane. Because of an element of drivers it is a suicide lane. Throughout this stretch of road, NY 112 travels through the hamlet of Medford. Fortunately County Route 83, which is parallel a mile to the west relieves some of the congestion. In similar fashion to much of NY 112, traffic signals (which there are more and more of) controls the rate of traffic. After the stretch of car dealerships, NY 112 passes under the main line Long Island Railroad bridge where it temporary widens to 4 lanes when it approaches the Long Island Expressway. I-495 Long Island Expressway to NY 25 When I lived on Long Island, the stretch of NY 112 at the Long Island Expressway was known for flooding. But things are worst at the next traffic signal. On Yelp the intersection of NY 112 at Horse Block Road is listed as the Most Dangerous Intersection in Suffolk County. This is nothing compared to the next several miles of road. North of the Most Dangerous Intersection NY 112 narrows to two lanes. I remember this as a dangerous road. Turning lanes were absent causing motorists to maneuver to the shoulder to avoid hitting a car waiting to turn left. This is a straight stretch of road all the way into Coram. North of Medford after Granny Road NY 112 follows a downhill incline near Bold Hill, which is one of the highest points on Long Island. This strech of highway is known for fatal accidents. It is still dangerous. NY 25 to NY 347 In Coram, NY 112 meets up with NY 25 at an intersection plagued with so many crashes that it had to be redeveloped. This is where the Coram Diner is. In recent years acres of pine barrens have been paved over for condominiums and commercial development on this stretch of nY 112. The highway capacity has not been able to keep up with the demand. Very recently, the NY State DOT redeveloped the road. The thing is they caved into the environmental interests without doing what was best for safety. I am a die-hard hiker and many of my reviews are about parks. However when I am on the road, I don't wan't to play Russian Roulette or be the victim of road rage for driving safely. This section of road has been very dangerous and people have lost their lives on it. As it travels toward Port Jefferson it is bordered by shopping centers, housing developments from the 60s and a few years ago to furniture stores, more car dealerships, and suburbia. This land use attracts heavy traffic. Instead of the NY DOT widening NY 112 to a four lane road with aesthetic landscaping, they added a turning lane with nice landscaping and much needed traffic signals. NY 347 to NY 25A On the last mile of roadway, NY 112 widens to four lanes as it passes through a suburban commercial area of Port Jefferson Station. Near the terminus of the Port Jefferson Long Island Railroad line it ends at NY 25A. My thoughts: I feel that NY 112 is a major road that is also the rough border of eastern and western Suffolk. It is one of the few N.Y. state routes connecting Long Islands South Shore to North Shore. Because it is such a major component of Long Island's transportation infrastructure, I feel that it should be four lanes all the way. If the environment is so important, why did so many acres of pine barrens get plowed over for development? I also feel that the NY 112 designation should be extended to overlap with NY 25A to the Port Jefferson ferry dock.

Wikipedia says: New York State Route 112 is a New York state highway, entirely within the Town of Brookhaven in Suffolk County. It runs from Montauk Highway, formerly part of NY 27A, in the village of Patchogue to NY 25A in Port Jefferson Station. It is known locally as Medford Ave in Patchougue and Patchogue Road in Terryville and Port Jefferson Station. The official name for the road outside these areas is "Patchogue-Port Jefferson Road", though it is often signed simply as "Route 112" Route 112 also has a darker side. see also: http://www.yelp.com/biz/the-most-dangerous-intersection-in-suffolk-county-medford#hrid:6QTlxnfV6UcgOPaNSBbJrg/src:search/query:route%20112

You camp in the middle of sunken martime forest with the ocean on the other side of a sand berm - so you go to sleep listening to the waves and with no city lights and a million stars in the sky. A wooden elevated pathway leads through the forest and after the sun went down there were hundreds of fireflies above our heads. Magical. And there's a cool general store and tiki bar just a short walk away, nice rangers and I met some cool people. But here's why I won't go again and I couldn't recommend it to anyone else - the mosquitos were insane. I had read the reviews and had 4 heavy duty citronella candles triangulated around our campground, a huge fire, mosquito coils and we were coated in deet insect repellent. Usually I can live with mosquitos, but this was like wave after wave of them and even worse were the big biting flies which were incredibly painful. It was impossible to ever really relax or enjoy the beautiful surroundings. My kids were traumatized. I ran into a guy who had been camped out in a bog in Viet Nam for months and he said he'd never seen bugs that bad. Another couple had camped there a few times and said it usually is much worse. Would recommend this for a day trip to the beach but overnight camping is a no-go.

Watch Hill Beach, Long Island, specifically. It's a national seashore, so it's clean and nice. It's not crowded like other nearby beaches. It attracts an ecletic mix of city people and local folks. It has a boat basin where people tie-up and hang out. And most greatly, you get there by taking a boat across Fire Island Sound (an enjoyable 15 minute ride that transports you from suburban Long Island to watery paradise). There's a little snack and drink stand and a more formal sit-down restaurant, too, right near the beach. Near the ferry boat landing there are restaurants where you can buy lobster salad sandwiches and put together picnic lunches. You can buy an excursion ticket that gets you train fare and ferry boat tickets all in one. For more info: http://www.watchhillfi.com/ The entire trip from Penn Station to beach takes about two or two and a half hours. But if you plan it (have snacks, things to read, etc.) it's not bad. I've made the trip out here going back several summers, with friends. Swimming, sunning, walking -- This is one of the nicest beaches I've been to. Be sure to check the ferry schedule so that you time your train's arrival in time to catch the ferry boat.

Normally I'd read these comments and think maybe people were rude or didn't understand that time is time but this was a complete lack of empathy and understanding over 20 seconds.

We had the most accommodating ticket booth associate. She answered all my inquiries to my easy understanding. She provided me with brochures with map and information about the island and the ferry schedule. It was a short 20 minutes ride trip . It was a fun experience enjoying Long Island sound especially that we picked to sit on the top deck. Each end destination is about a mile apart . Hopping from one site to other is either walking along the ocean path or via water taxi. We went to Sailors Haven and enjoyed the vicinity and it's famous Sunken Forest . We walked along the ocean path to Cherry Grove and came from there going back. There is no ticket booth at Cherry Grove but don't be alarm, you just have to pay the fare at the exit booth. Definitely using again same service if decided to come back.
