The Gondolier

Sunset Gondola Rides

By LESLIE AGAN

It may not be the actual Venice, Italy, with its thousands of pigeons who are able to decipher if you’re willing to spend a euro to feed them popcorn kernels or if you’re just another cheapskate study-abroad student with no corn, mimicking feeding gestures. If an authentic Italian gondola cruise without that costly airfare is what your heart desires, then Sunset Gondola of Huntington Harbour and Sunset Beach is the treasure you’ve been searching for­ right here in your own back yard. Sunset Gondola boasts only the finest gondolas constructed at Squero di San Travaso, the oldest boatyard in Venice. How’s that for historical? So grab five of your closest pals (or keep it snuggly—just you and your sweetie), throw in some drinks and snacks to mingle with the free bucket of ice, and simply enjoy your viaggio through the harbor.
