On Sunday the NYC Urban Sketchers made a visit that was a little closer to me...the town of Oyster Bay. It was quite a ride for those coming from Manhattan or Brooklyn, but we ended up with about 22 people showing up for the day. For me by car it was about a 45 minute ride because it is on the north shore of Long Island. Oyster Bay is the home of Billy Joel and at one time was the residence of President Teddy Roosevelt. This building once housed his office upstairs. Now I'm not sure what is upstairs, but a lovely restaurant called Wild Honey is downstairs. It has been there for a long time.
