Port Washington is a picturesque North Shore Long Island village on Manhasset Bay with marinas, waterfront parks, a walkable downtown of restaurants, cafes and shops, and a regular farmers market — a relaxed, attractive base for multi‑week assignments with plenty of outdoor and local social options. It’s commuter‑friendly with direct Long Island Rail Road service into Manhattan, so you won’t feel isolated.
For bigger‑city nights and cultural attractions, New York City is a short train ride away, and Westchester/Connecticut hubs like White Plains and Stamford are also within easy reach.
