The North Shore


On Lloyd's Neck, there is an estate overlooking The other Long Island Sound where John, Yoko and Sean frolicked. How would you like to have been at the Burger King in Carle Place when John pulled in for a Whopper on his way to another deportation hearing in Mineola? "I guess he was hungry," according to a witness who stood immobilized in mid-chew.

Just down the road from the Lennon place is Billy Joel's old soundview mansion. This house is not too far from Cold Spring Harbor and Oyster Bay, where Billy The Kid roamed. Go south and you get to Christiano's in Syosset--Billy's romantic Italian restaurant. Go north to Bayville where Billy and his partner, Howie Blauvelt, rented boats at Cap't Jack's. The North Shore is filled with references to Billy's songs.
