New York State Route 114 (NY 114) is a state highway on the far eastern sections of Long Island in New York in the United States. It serves as a connector between the two "forks" of Long Island, crossing Shelter Island in the process. This is the only connection between the North and South forks east of Riverhead. NY 114 is the easternmost signed north–south state route in all of New York. Additionally, the route is the last in a series of sequential state routes on Long Island. The series begins with NY 101 in western Nassau County and progresses eastward to NY 114.
NY 114 was assigned in the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York and has remained intact since. The highway has had two proposed spurs by Suffolk County that were failed to be constructed. NYSDOT has also marked most of the road as New York State Bicycle Route 114 (NY Bike Route 114) with diversions onto local streets in Sag Harbor, and north and west of the northern terminus along NY 25 in Greenport.
The southern end of NY 114 is at NY 27 (Montauk Highway), just a block from the downtown area of East Hampton. It quickly relinquishes its status as a local road and becomes a two-lane rural highway called East Hampton–Sag Harbor Turnpike, which leads to Sag Harbor. The wooded landscape between these two resort towns is dotted with large manors and estates, many of which are set far back from the roadway. After several miles, NY 114 finds itself in the village of Sag Harbor. This colonial whaling port is today a village of boutiques and shops along the waterfront of Sag Harbor Bay, an arm of Peconic Bay. NY 114 makes several turns as it navigates the village's centuries-old street pattern, before crossing over Sag Harbor Cove on its way north.
