Giving

'Tis the season to be racking our brains and wandering store aisles hoping for gift giving inspiration to strike. Looking for gifts for my nearest and dearest is easy for me. On the other hand, coming up with a little something to let the other people we interact with throughout the year know that we appreciate them makes me wish for a crystal ball to dust off. Another scarf? Another tchotchke? I say make the present consumable! No need to make the drive "up island" or fight city crowds to frantically scan the megastores. The thought actually makes me dizzy. But fear not – great ideas that say "I thought about this" are right under our noses and can be procured in a snap.

American Food

Wild turkey and venison, field corn, lobsters, sundried currants, walnuts from a nearby tree, squash from the garden – an heirloom feast that would start any locavore salivating. The Plymouth colonists and Wampanoag Indians just called it supper.

New Hot-Spots

Summer is almost here, and Memorial Day weekend is upon us. With its arrival comes the welcome addition of some great new venues that are gearing up for what we all hope will be another warm and sunny Summer season. From midtown Manhattan to Long Island wine country, these are some of the most buzzed about newcomers you won't want to miss in the coming months.

Fall Long Island Restaurant Week Is Back!

Long Island Restaurant Week is back! From Sunday, November 6th through Sunday, November 13th, you can again dine at various top Long Island restaurants for an extremely affordable price. Almost two hundred restaurants in both Nassau and Suffolk counties will participate in the sixth-annual event, presented by WordHampton Public Relations and Long Island Restaurant News.

Two if by Sea

I suppose it goes without saying that if an article is going to be written about waterfront restaurants near the Atlantic, then fresh seafood will be on every menu! All the great places to eat in the Hamptons are set on the water’s edge. Some have live music and some cater to kids, while others offer dockage, lodging, late-night lounges, and even wedding venues. One thing is for sure, they all have beautiful views!

East End Wineries: Much More Than Tastings!

To the surprise of many, the wineries of the East End offer so much more than wine-tastings. Happening now, continuing through the fall months, and many open year-round, events offered are as varied as the wines themselves.

Toe-Tapping Ways to Beat Cabin Fever

While lots of New Yorkers scramble south to the warm-weather states when the first rush of cold air blows in, the die-hards stay here year-round and tough it out during the winter. To be honest though, the winters here are usually so mild that it really doesn't much matter if we go or if we stay. I will admit that this year is the exception. (Ironically, as I write this, I am stranded in an airport hotel in the Midwest, unable to get a flight home due to New York's unusually bad weather!) Regardless of the amount of snowfall we get, that old adage holds true: when life hands you lemons (or in this case, cold weather), take those lemons and make lemonade. That being said, let me introduce you to the 2011 Long Island Winterfest.
