Gardiner's Bay and Shelter Island (eastern LI) have top notch gunkholing.
You can basically anchor anywhere as the holding is primarily thick mud.
To anchor:

The best sandwich shop in the world (IMHO) is in Sag Harbor right near the
bridge and marina: Espresso. Great place to visit if you like looking at
Yachts and fancy cars. We have been making annual trips there for for
breakfast, lunch or dinner for 20+ years. I guess I am going to have to

I had a good time checking out mystic seaport museum and actually didn't plan

Hey Joel, I think
Hey Joel, I think the Thimble Islands on the CT coast are pretty neat. We
also loved going up to Essex on the CT river. The Griswold Inn there has a
fantastic sea shanty night. Northport is a nice little town. Oyster bay
has a couple nice anchorages. Ziegler's Cove is a pretty anchorage as well.
Joel,
Having lived most of my life sailing Long Island Sound, I can share a few
recommendations:
Port Jefferson is a great town with wonderful shops and restaurants. Also easy
to get in and out of the harbor.
Oyster Bay is very protected, but it takes some to get in there. Another great
