From music, to comedy, to BBQs, there's plenty to enjoy over the last few weeks of summer. So, as we enter the last few days of summer, make sure to savor it - and enjoy everything that Long Island has to offer this season, and make some memories that will last a lifetime!

There's nothing like the thrill of discovering new places especially when sharing it with your loved ones. Some places can also be part history lessons too - put on your sneakers and climb hundreds of steps to the top of a lighthouse for a view that you'll never forget. Step back in time to the mid-19th century colonial living (Kids will be amazed that there were no TV's, video games, or indoor plumbing!).
