Long Beach, New York is a small city on a barrier island with a lovely white sand beach on the Atlantic Ocean. We're a 1 hour train ride from Penn Station in Manhattan, and located just to the east and south of Queens, a borough of New York.
Some enterprising jazz cats around here have arranged for a jazz festival this September.
