I was at the Huntington Chamber of Commerce’s annual Luau again this year. I was there taking photos for Nightingale PR. ...

The best Thai food on Long Island? We think we’ve found it here at Sri Thai in Huntington Village. I’d like to preface this by saying I lived in Thailand for about 6 months and explored the country with a keen desire to learn about the locals and the land. The yearning for some dishes have stayed with me for life. Don’t get me wrong, some Thai foods have left me wishing I stayed at home as they don’t mix with my...

We spent the last day of our 2010 vacation in Maryland at Tuckahoe State Park. We did some fishing at a canoe/kayak launching point near our campsite and had a great go of it. At one point there was a string of 4 times we threw the hook in the water and we had bites almost immediately. We bought a small Hibachi and grilled the fish and some hot dogs.

The view of Centerport Harbor makes for a nice bike ride, walk, or even drive by We...

I remember the protests against this in the 80′s while I was in high school. Residents fear that “low income” families will bring with them the...
