Here’s how Forbes Advisor journalist Robin Saks Frankel describes Riverhead: “an historic town on the North Shore of Long Island with plenty of ways to while away the day.” She highlights the Long Island Aquarium, Jamesport Farm Brewery, autumn apple-picking at local orchards and the Big Duck. The write-up notes that “no trip to Riverhead is complete without a picture with the famous Big Duck.”
