A friend of ours lived in Smithtown, NY and ran a private school called The Paint Box nearby in Stony Brook. It's directly across the street from Stony Brook School.
It's now a private residence and is being renovated.

Cliff's Elbow East, Southold, New York
When we left Pindar Vineyards we needed something to eat! A friend had recommended Cliff's Elbow Room in Jamesport. I plugged that into my GPS and Cliff's Elbow East popped up nearby!
It took a GPS to get there. Let's just say it's "out of the way."
It was a little after noon when we arrived and we were the only customers there. While we were eating another group of 5 or 6 came in. The waitress said that was the lunch "crowd."

Pindar Vineyards, New York
The North Fork of Long Island is dotted with vineyards. The one we chose to visit was Pindar. Pindar is Long Island's largest vineyard.
We got there in the morning and had a liquid breakfast. They gave us a coupon for a discount for a tasting at another nearby vineyard but we had to have something to eat.
The wine was excellent and we bought a case to bring home with us.
You can visit their website here.

Montauk Point Lighthouse, New York
At the far East end of Long Island is the magnificent Montauk Point Lighthouse. It's the fourth oldest active lighthouse in the United States and the oldest lighthouse in New York.
History is all around the lighthouse. Captain Kidd supposedly buried treasure nearby. The slave crew of Amistad saw the lighthouse and came ashore. Just a stone's throw away is Camp Hero, supposed home of the Montauk Project.
Their web site is here and the wikipedia article is here.
