Last Hot Day of the Year

Filed under: Food & Drink,Summer by Bill @ 6:41 am

Sunday was a great day on Long Island. Beautiful weather assured success for many of the festivals scheduled and many Long Islanders, including myself, managed to get out of the house to enjoy what was probably the last warm day of the year. And at 85 degrees, it was record breaking warm.

My choice for the day was the Snapper Inn, one of my favorite restaurants. It’s on the water, it’s very close to where I live, and it’s real good.

After enjoying that one last, hot, summery day, I feel like I am finally ready to embrace Fall.
