Thank You, Nassau County!

At this time of gratitude, I felt it was appropriate to post why I'm glad I live and grew up in Nassau County, Long Island:

• We're only a 40 minute train ride away from the Greatest City in the World -- New York City! And then we get to go back home to the suburbs to sleep! You're never more than half an hour from a beautiful beach, to the north, south, or east
• The LIRR may have its moments, but for the most part, it's one of the most reliable & clean train systems 
• Our wonderful, free parks: Massapequa Preserve, Eisenhower Park, Tanglewood Preserve, etc. 
• Long Island specialties, like Ralph's Italian Ices & La Bottega
• Our abundance of festivals -The Strawberry Festival, Fall Festivals, church festivals, etc. 
• Diners!

What makes YOU thankful for living on Long Island?

A Happy & Healthy Thanksgiving,

To You & Yours!
