This is a restaurant that on the weekends will usually turn into a dancing/clubby type scene. Who doesn't like to get dressed up and go dancing every now and then?
Monsoon: Steak & Sushi

I enjoy going here on Saturday nights when I want to dance more so than Monsoon because it is less of the club/lounge vibe but still will have fun DJs to dance the night away.

I'm putting this on here for my younger guests - if you're in your early 20's, like to go dance, want a big crowd of people, this is where you want to go.

Food Scene
Cool atmosphere! West coast, surfer vibe. Long waits sometimes so be prepared or get there early. Don't take to go - you want to sit there for the vibes.

My personal favorite coffee place in the village. Clean, cool vibes, and usually pretty quiet. Great art on the walls that features new artists all the time.

My favorite take-out. You don't usually want to sit here because people are constantly picking up in an out so it's loud and there is no table service. Best chicken over rice on Long Island. You also cannot beat the price for the portion and quality. If you like spicy, get it with the hot and white sauce. Also open until 4am on the weekends and 2am regularly! (Yes - they are on Uber Eats and yes - have fun at any hour at Bender and Fry's)

North Fork Trip: This is my favorite winery on the North Fork of Long Island which is a must see area. One of the wines from here was even on President Obama's 2013 Inauguration Menu, which they have displayed. This is a stunning venue as well. I know this can be a far trip but if you have a car and the time, instead second or third day at the beach, go out to the wineries!
