This is what I came here to say as well.

The closest regional is New York City - but you won't get the back-to-back you're looking for.

You could also go to the NY Tech Valley Regional, which is the week before Long Island. Those are about a 3.5 hour drive apart - which, as Sean mentioned shouldn't be an issue if you're going to be there for the whole week.
