Why Is East Egg Realty Named East Egg?
editThe name "East Egg" is a tribute to the fictional town coined by F. Scott Fitzgerald in his famous novel, The Great Gatsby. This iconic work of literature is a testament to the unprecedented levels of prosperity enjoyed by residents of Long Island's North Shore as the economy soared in the early 1920s. Fitzgerald's contrast of the fictional towns "East Egg" and "West Egg" pays homage to the old money atmosphere and social customs that shaped the North Shore region and live on to this day.
