This Spring: Get your Passport to Long Island Wineries

In Long Island, we’re lucky to have access to dozens of amazing vineyards. With the current Long Island Wine Country Spring Passport Promotion, May is the perfect time to set aside time to explore them. With  34 participating Winery Tasting Rooms, that’s a lot of delicious wine to taste!

How it works:

Obtain a Free Passport which entitles you to a complimentary tasting of a featured wine with the purchase of any in house tasting. Have your passport stamped by purchasing a minimum of one bottle of featured wine. If you accumulate 10 winery stamps, receive two admission tickets for the price of one to the Taste of Summer event and entry into a raffle. (more…)

Top 10 To-Dos on a Sunny LI Afternoon

It is finally getting GORGEOUS outside, and there is no need to travel to find some wonderful treasures that Nassau has to offer.  Here is Nassau Happening’s guide to the top 10 spots to visit this spring and summer.

1. Old Bethpage Village Restoration-Visit a living history museum, where a mid-19^th century Long Island rural village is re-created for you.  The general store, inn, farm, blacksmith shop, school, and villager’s houses (to name only a few) are kept so that visitors get a true sense of what it was like to live on LI long ago.  Staff dress the part, too, and tell stories of what their typical day would have been like.  There is a lot of walking, though, so wear sneakers!  Kids love the farm especially, where they keep live animals, but adults will enjoy the tales of long ago just as much.  (Insider tip:  Don’t miss their Civil War re-enactment and Old-Time Baseball Games both taking place in July!  See our community calendar for dates and times.)
