  • Gatsby's Playground
    Gatsby’s Playground By Iyna Bort Caruso A drive through the area that inspired F. Scott Fitzgerald’s masterpiece shows that Long Island’s Gold Coast is just as inspiring today. By Iyna Bort Caruso I feel them more than I hear them — the earth-pounding vibrations of eight ponies thundering across the field at forty miles an hour. It’s polo season on Long Island. They say it takes hot blood and a cool head to play this sport. But sitting here at Bethpage State Park, inhaling a pungent blend of dirt and horse, I realize it takes even more. Polo demands the concentration of a golf pro, the fast hands of an NHL’er, and the steel nerves of a Formula One racer. Sundays through October, polo matches are free to the public. I love coming here, not just for the sport of it but for its link to the Gold Coast Era, an opulent period between the wars when Long Island was America’s polo capital. One of the most celebrated horsemen was a player by the name of Tommy Hitchcock, who was considered the Babe Ruth of polo, and is also widely thought to be the model for Tom Buchanan in The Great Gatsby. Today’s family-friendly crowd is more Macy’s than Tiffany, but the allure of the Gatsby Age remains. The Gold Coast is a 20-mile long strip along the northern shore of Nassau County where the shore meets the Long Island Sound. Proximity to Manhattan, less than an hour’s drive away, was what made it attractive as a summer retreat for the likes of the Vanderbilts, Woolworths and Guggenheims.

  • Gatsby: Myths and Realities of Long Island's North Shore Gold Coast.” the Nassau County Historical Society Journal 52 (1997):16–26
    Previously published in The Nassau County Historical Society Journal. Revised and modified in July 2010 for website publication at www.spinzialongislandestates.com Please cite as: Spinzia, Raymond E. and Judith A. Spinzia. “Gatsby: Myths and Realities of Long Island's North Shore Gold Coast.” The Nassau County Historical Society Journal 52 (1997):16–26. Gatsby: Myths and Realities of Long Island’s North Shore Gold Coast by Raymond E. Spinzia and Judith A. Spinzia . The North Shore estates more than those of any other area of the Island captured the imagination of twentieth-century America. They occupied the area from Great Neck east to Centerport and from the Long Island Sound to just south of the present site of the Long Island Expressway. At the height of the estate era, Long Island had three Gold Coasts. An excellent social history of the South Shore estates, entitled Along the Great South Bay: From Oakdale to Babylon, has been written by Harry W. Havemeyer. The East End estates, which were built in the area known as the Hamptons, are chronicled by the authors in the soon-to-be-published Long Island’s Prominent Families in the Town of Southampton: Their Estates and Their Country Homes and Long Island’s Prominent Families in the Town of East Hampton: Their Estates and Their Country Homes. It is Long Island’s North Shore Gold Coast and the fact, fiction, and outright confusion created by F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby that are considered here.1 Even the very existence of the South Shore and East End estates has remained relatively unknown.
