Attention Animal Lovers!
Being a Long Islander, chances are you can say yes to at least one of the following questions:
1-Do you love animals?
2-Do you enjoy a good steak?
3-Would a beautiful view of Huntington Harbor while dining sound ideal?
4-Do you enjoy admiring Maseratis and yachts?
If you answered yes to one (or preferably all) of the above, then you should attend Prime-An American Kitchen and Bar on July 21 between 8 and 10 pm. During this time, the North Shore Animal League America (NSALA) will allow diners to meet puppies, kittens, dogs, and cats that can be adopted. Ferrari Maserati of Long Island and Surfside 3/Marina Max of Huntington will have cars and yachts on display as well. It’s the perfect opportunity to enjoy a beautiful view, have a fantastic meal, and bring home a new furry family member that is in desperate need of a home.
For more info, contact Prime, 117 New York Avenue, Huntington, 631-385-1515 or the North Shore Animal League America, 25 Davis Avenue, Port Washington, 516-883-7575.

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-19th 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.)
