Long Island Breweries: From Brooklyn to Patchogue

Filed under: Food & Drink by Bill @ 7:57 pm

Fellow writer and beer lover Michael Yohe has been visiting the Long Island breweries with stops at the BrickHouse Brewery, the Bluepoint Brewery, the Brooklyn Brewery and Black Forest Brew Haus.


8 beer sampler at Southampton Publick House.

All of these breweries produce excellent beer and some serve food as well. I’d be hard pressed to pick a favorite. From west to east here’s the lineup:

Black Forest Brew Haus – Excellent beer and German/American cusine. Read Mike’s review of the Black Forest Brew Haus here.

John Harvards Brewhouse – Ha! I beat Mike to the punch on this one. Here’s my review of John Harvard’s Brewhouse.

Long Beach

Filed under: Sand, Sea & Sky by Bill @ 2:35 pm

Long Beach….the name conjures up images of sun, sand, surf and fun. This resort community located on Long Island’s south shore, doesn’t disappoint as this “city by the sea” offers visitors, city dwellers and residents a laid-back atmosphere with a small-town, welcoming attitude.

That’s what Long Island new comer Brigitte Surette had to say after moving to Long Beach from South Carolina a few months ago.

The Hideaway Restaurant

Filed under: Fire Island,Food & Drink by Bill @ 6:27 am

I’ve heard many people say that The Hideaway is the best restaurant in Ocean Beach. I was always a little skeptical because of it’s association with Houser’s Bar, a no frills local hangout.

Now that I’ve been to The Hideaway myself, I have to agree that this is one of the best, if not the best restaurant I’ve ever been to on Fire Island.
