Montauk

Highlights
Montauk

"Montauk - The End,'' proclaims the bumper sticker, a sentiment that captures the delight people find in the ocean-kissed shores and rolling green hills of Long Island's most way-out community. Three-hundred-eighty-four years after Dutch explorer Adrian Block landed there, Montauk as it was survives more or less intact. Though it is a magnet for tourism and a world-class fishing mecca, better than half its 10,000 acres remain as public lands.

  2. Lucky Large Lobster Dodges Cooking Pot

    Once destined for a toasted buttered roll or blue plate special, an 18-pound American lobster has found a safe home at the New York Aquarium in Coney Island. After surviving more than seven decades in the sea, the lobster was trapped in a routine catch off the coast of Canada a few weeks ago. He was shipped by air freight to San Francisco in a container with close to two tons of fellow crustaceans. A local seafood distributor decided the 18-pound behemoth deserved an audience. But finding a home for such a huge lobster isn’t easy.
