Another glorious Sunday on Long Island. The sky’s a nearly cloudless blue and it’s comfortably warm. There might not be another nice Sunday like this before the cold sets in. It’s time for Cars and Coffee at Oak Beach 2.

When speaking of cars on New York’s Long Island, most folks think of the traffic. Lots and lots of traffic. As a lifetime Longislander (yes, it is one word), I think of Cars and Coffee at Oak Beach.

For the 22nd time, the prestigious Greenwich Concours in Connecticut took place over the June 3-4 weekend. It’s one of the shows that you need to attend at least once. Cars that you see on Velocity are here in person. Trust me, they are much better in person.

Supercars at Larz Anderson

When up in the Boston area, be sure to visit the Larz Anderson Auto Museum in Brookline, Massachusetts. Set on a high bluff overlooking the Boston skyline, the collection is housed in a stone castle. Billed as America’s oldest car collection, they put on some fine shows in their compact space. “Supercars: Origins, Evolutions” has just opened, and it’s definitely worth a side trip, especially on a nice day.
