The Food Festival at Tanger has been on my list forever, but every year I somehow managed to be out…read moreof town. This time I finally made it with my brothers and came prepared to do some serious eating. The watermelon agua fresca was dangerously good, Bella's empanadas were a hit (although the oxtail one sold out before I could get it ), and the lobster roll from DJ's Clam Shack was delicious. But the real winner? The Korean corn dog. Honestly, I'd come back just for that. Came hungry, left stuffed, and somehow still thinking about my next visit.

Went to Tanger in Deer Park the other day and stumbled upon the Deer Park food festival…read more $15 entrance fee. So many food trucks, my eyes ate more than my stomach can fill. Thoroughly enjoyed the blue raspberry lemonade (Not pictured) thing was HUGE. Chicken dumplings, Steak burger, cousin maines lobster roll are a MUST! I love steak and so I was naturally drawn to this truck. Decided to get a wagyu smash burger This is actually my first time trying wagyu burger. It tasted ok. Will try the steak box next time. It looked scrumptious. Will def be back next year.

Complete chaos! The whole festival certainly is fun and the…read morevillage is awesome for putting it all together but holy heck it just gets too out of control. We started out with the chowder crawl which was right up my ally. $10 per person and there was about 8 or so restaurants go to for our chowder. The very first one we stopped at though was Tommys and low and behold they didn't have any ready yet. Oh well. We finished the run around town and marked down our winners and handed it in. Next was the doggy parade and that was when things really just became nuts. There was no instruction for the parade participants and everyone was just kind of wandering the streets. Then when we finished the constables were SCREAMING at us to get out of the street. Could have been done a little nicer! There was wine tasting, whiskey tasting and cheese tasting plus complimentary marshmallow roasting but I was just so done with all the idiots walking in the street and bumping into me and my dogs so we left. Not to mention directly next to the marshmallows were a bunch of tightly caged in farm animals :( the smoke from the fire was going right onto them!! Thats not right in my opinion. Next year hopefully it will be better organized and no farm animals please!

I can't think of a better way to spend a beautiful Sunday afternoon, than drinking cold beers and…read moreeating delicious chicken wings from 14 of Long Island's finest poultry purveyors! Immediately upon entering I was greeted with the hypnotic smell of buffalo wings. The nutty Irishman converted the interior of their bar/restaurant into a chicken wing convention center. Two floors plus an outside patio area dedicated to the two of life's greatest party foods, wings and beers. I decided to walk through the entirety of the venue before starting my wing enjoyment. So many different places offering so many different and distinctive and delicious chicken wings. Everything from your traditional buffalo wing to A chicken wing with a chocolate raspberry sauce. For the most part, all of the wings were unique and delicious however there could be only one winner. My favorite was the traditional Buffalo style wing made by Tony. Delicious in all of its simplicity the wing it's self was plump and perfectly cooked with just enough buffalo sauce on it as not to mask the flavor of the wing. This was an excellent and well planned event and I look forward to returning to it next year.!

My friend and I attended the Candlelight: Coldplay & Imagine Dragons concert on Friday, February…read more20, 2026 at 6:15 PM at CM Performing Arts Center. We arrived around 6:00 PM and joined the line to enter. As we got in, our tickets were scanned by fever staff. The usher brought us to our seats in Zone C. Seating is assigned on a first come first served basis in each zone. Our seats were good and had good visibility of the stage. The stage and the auditorium was filled with electric candles that had a warm and flickering glow. About 6:30 PM, the concert opened with Coldplay - Clocks. Then, the Highline String Quartet introduced themselves and talked us through the program. Some of the songs they played were Imagine Dragons - Radioactive, Coldplay - Fix You, Imagine Dragons - Eyes Closed, Imagine Dragons - Bad Liar, Coldplay - The Scientist, and Coldplay - Sky Full of Stars. As we approached the top of the hour, the Highline String Quartet asked the audience to make some noise to see if there were more Coldplay or Imagine Dragons fans. Coldplay won and they played Viva la Vida and did Imagine Dragons - Believer as an encore. The whole concert was a beautiful and magical experience. I was in awe of the music by the Highline String Quartet composed of 3 violinists and 1 cellist. Looking forward to attending more Candlelight concerts! CM Performing Arts Center is located in Lighthouse Commons, a group of businesses along Montauk Highway, and there are plenty of parking spots.

I finally made it to one of the ToPJ events! It's held in the Village Center and it was nice to see…read morea lot of the locals supporting the event and the town! I've always been skeptical with the response and the quality of this event due to feedback I've received in the past, but I was happy to be a part of it. My favorites were what Alexis had recommended, the caramel fudge from Chocology as well as the Grilled cheese from Cest Cheese. Nicely done guys!!! It was great to see such a fantastic display of wines which were partnered with Rich Mora from Mora's wines - most of the wines were very heavily distributed wines IMO, but there were some gems for folks to enjoy. It was especially nice to see some NoFo wineries being represented as well, Raphael, as an example, who's latest Cab Franc ('13?) was quite nice while walking around. Thanks to Yelp as always, for providing me the opportunity to experience the ToPJ! THIS has been a review by Gaurav

Not everything is open due to it being volunteer operated and the Halloween pumpkin light up they're doing but you can still kill 3-4 hours on a beautiful day walking the grounds and walking with the staff. They're all so knowledgeable and answer any questions you have. Even my annoying ones like "what's your most haunted experience?" Which there are a few! For two people it was $30 bucks and if you haven't been in a while and are looking for a nice historic stroll in 1800's Long Island it is well well worth it!

Although this festival has been around for years, this was my first visit on Sunday December 8th,…read more2024. It started off great as we were able to park in the Marina parking lot for free! This festival is geared toward kids and family fun! Pictures with Santa, roasting marshmallows, and ice skating. The Village Center was the site for the "Festival of Trees". Local business themed Christmas trees all decorated for the season. Vendors of all kinds set up their wares here as well as in various locations throughout the village. The highlight of the event are the performers who are dressed up in 19th century Victorian era costumes. Some are stationed at various points, giving out directions. Others are meandering around the village spreading Christmas cheer, "Happy Christmas to you both!" Many stop to talk to and take pictures with the children and their families. We heard they parade down Main Street and stop at the lighting of the Christmas tree. Both activities which I missed...no doubt buying something from a vendor! The weather was unusually balmy for December. It did not take away at all from the cheery Christmas feel. I wish I had known about this event when my children were younger, I definitely would have visited with them. Truth be told, Christmas is my favorite holiday! I had a wonderful time... I guess I'm just a kid at heart

Then, I'd take the family to see A Christmas Carol at the theater. The street actors performed the play both forwards and backwards! Times were simpler then. The town allowed a roaring fire on Main St and provided sticks for the kids to roast marshmallows. This was my little town and we looked forward to this weekend. From the horse drawn carriages coming down Main St into port, it truly was an entertaining experience. Fast forward to 2019. From Newsday to News12 all saying come to Port Jefferson and experience the Dickens festival! Really? Over the years, I have seen people getting dressed like the characters?! On Saturday I run errands. I like to come into Port Jefferson and grab a specialty coffee at Starbucks. Starbucks during this weekend is slammed with tweens and parents drinking frappachinos. Parking? Forget about it, every spot is taken. Port Jefferson is a mad house with people trying to get a free marshmallow..... And why do you folks feel the need to get dressed like a Chimmey Sweep?? Dudes... really?? I'm knocking off a star. What was once nice memories are now dread when I get my coffee and dry cleaning. Nothing to see here folks, go to Sayville...
