When you’d rather not take part in the bougie splendor of the Hamptons or feel as though you’ve outgrown the kitschy nostalgia of the Jersey Shore, look no further than the North Fork—a shabby chic stretch of Long Island that, in the last few years, has welcomed new boutique hotels and restaurants run by Michelin-starred chefs. And unlike its resort-town counterparts, who tend to get sleepy once the chill arrives, the North Fork holds its own in the fall. Whether you want to explore miles of hiking trails covered in fall foliage or indulge in apple cider donuts and wine at the various vineyards and orchards, the East End’s lesser-known peninsula is sure to provide the perfect getaway without the summer’s tourists.
