On the subject of mansions, the 196-room Glen Cove Mansion Hotel & Conference Center --built in 1910 as the country residence of Standard Oil executive John Pratt and his wife Ruth (her ghost now in residence)--is now one of Long Island's premier social and event destinations. The Long Island Film Festival was on while we there. Humphrey Bogart's son was attending, too, echoing his father, star of the original Sabrina (1954), which was filmed at this palatial 55-acre estate. Managed by premium brand Benchmark Hospitality , this Georgian country house and all its leisure amenities is the place to get your Gatsby on--our thanks to Benchmark's Ken Ellens and Glen Cove's Keith Battaglia for always delivering the royal experience!
