Live the Gatsby life - 1920s style

Obsessed with all-things Gatsby? Want to the live the life of Daisy Buchanan and Jay Gatsby? Keen to track down more about the book and film adaptations, and walk in the footsteps of F. Scott Fitzgerald? Then here’s our guide to the Gatsby trail

 

What to do

Places to visit

  • Hire a car and visit the Gold Coast on Long Island, in search of the home in Great Neck where Gatsby lived with his wife Zelda Fitzgerald and started writing his classic American novel, and the houses which inspired him, including the original locations of Manhasset, Kings Point, Sandy Point, Great Neck, Locust Valley and Old Westbury.
  • The North Shore of the Gold Coast was once THE location for the private estates of Vanderbilts, Roosevelts, Whitneys, Charles Pratt, J. P. Morgan, F. W. Woolworth, and Guggenheims. Read more about the Gold Coast mansions here.
  • Alternatives to Long Island: The 1920s charm is largely gone in the Gold Coast area, sadly replaced by Mobwives and Real Housewives – to tour grand homes from a similar time, it’s best to head to Newport, Rhode Island, where many of the houses are open to the public. You should also consider the Hudson Valley and Nantucket for big time, old monied homes.
  • Watch the polo at the Meadowbrook Polo Club, the oldest continuously operating polo club in the United States.
