Smith Haven Mall

Stony Brook Village Center
Cute little village with restaurants and shops. Great way to spend an afternoon. Have some lunch at Pentimento or coffee at Crazy Beans and go shopping at Wish or Madison’s Niche.
Cupsogue Beach County Park
Great beach on the south shore of Long Island, the beginning of the Hamptons.
Montauk
The Easternmost point of Long Island. It’s about a 2 1/2 hour ride from Setauket where the wedding is taking place, but if you have time I would recommend making the drive out. Labor Day weekend can make for some heavy traffic, but if you go after Labor Day, it’s not so bad. Along the way stop in the Hamptons various towns for some shopping and restaurants. My personal favorite is Amagansett.
West Meadow Beach
Right across the street from The Old Field Club where the reception is taking place. West Meadow is great for watching sunsets and has a little road behind it to go on a walk. You often see deer and lots of birds on the pathway.
