New York State Route 101 also known as Port Washington Boulevard is a state highway in northwestern Nassau County, New York. It runs north and south from New York State Route 25A in Flower Hill, west of Roslyn, and north of Manhasset, to Astor Lane in Sands Point, where it continues to run northward toward Long Island Sound as Middle Neck Road.

[edit] Miscellanea

Route 101 is the only state highway on Long Island (including the Borough of Queens in New York City) to have a southern terminus at NY 25A. However Searingtown Road once served as an extension of Route 101 called Nassau CR 101, which, like NY 105, clearly suggests that Nassau County wanted the state to extend the desigantion.

[edit] Western Nassau Expressway

In addition to the Nassau County Extension of NY 101, the New York State Department of Transportation had been planning a limited-access highway called the Western Nassau Expressway, that would've carried the NY 101 desigantion south to Valley Stream, and North through Sands Point, and possibly a across a bridge to Mamaroneck in Westchester County. However, the plans were dropped as a result of community opposition.
