点评:The Nautical Mile, once a cherished local gem of Long Island, offered a wide variety of restaurants, bars, dessert spots, seafood markets, gift shops, and mini-golf for children. It was a common hotspot for families on weekends seeking waterfront dining experiences. However, everything changed when Hurricane Sandy hit the south shore and devastated many of the beloved businesses. The loss of the Schooner, one of the most popular restaurants, was a real blow to the business community.
Many of the historic restaurants on the Nautical Mile have since closed their doors as a new demographic emerged. Once a family-centric destination, it now caters more to a lively, younger crowd with a stronger emphasis on the bar scene. Many new restaurants have shifted to Caribbean-style cuisine. Unfortunately, most marinas have also closed, leading to a decline in boat traffic. During my recent visit, families were scarce and police patrols were prominent—an unfamiliar sight from the past.

随着新人群的出现,海里的许多历史悠久的餐厅都关门了。这里曾经是一个以家庭为中心的目的地,现在更适合活泼的年轻人群,更注重酒吧场景。许多新餐厅已经转向加勒比风格的美食。不幸的是,大多数码头也关闭了,导致船只交通量下降。在我最近的访问期间,家庭很少,警察巡逻很常见——这是过去不常见的景象。
