New York’s Fire Island

Islands Without Cars, the unique independent travel series hosted by Kira Cook, is back for a second season! In six whimsical half-hour installments, Kira shows us what life is like on islands in the Western Hemisphere’s developed world that have managed to keep a well-worn foot in the past by restricting or forbidding the use of motorized vehicles.

New York’s Fire Island

Season 3 Episode 301 | 26m 46s | CC

In this episode, we celebrate America’s freedom to live loud and proud by playing some drag bingo, enjoying some off-off-off Broadway entertainment and the annual drag “invasion. Forty-five minutes from New York City, Fire Island is a ribbon of sand featuring 17 very different and distinct communities, including the famous gay and lesbian enclaves of Cherry Grove and Fire Island Pines.
