Food scene

The best apple cider! You can find it at the supermarkets too. But there is a little farmhouse about 15min drive from Glen Cove where they make it and they have other apple-related assorted treats. A 5min stop if it's the Fall and you are craving thick apple cider!
It’s just down the road. My favorite flavors are Cannoli and Rainbow Cookie, what can I say I’m Italian. ;)

Favorite pizza place. Spinach slice is amazing and so is the bruschetta slice. You Can’t go wrong with the cheese or even a Sicilian pie. And the garlic knots are perfect too. I literally go here once a day whenever I come home. The guys there know when I’m in town before my mom does. ;)

The gyros are huge here! Greek salad and avgolemono soup is great too. We usually get it delivered or drive and pick it up, it’s a little too cozy to eat there. ;)

We call this place Tex Mex. BBQ brisket is the best taco. We usually pick up the food to go as the ambiance isn’t amazing but the prices are!!

This place always has a long line, which is annoying, but we keep going back. Softest NY bagels. Sesame toasted with plain cream cheese is my go to although they have like 12 different types of bagels and 5 different types of cream cheese. The bagel and lox is way overpriced though.

A little farmstand about 10min drive from Glen Cove. They make the best peach cobbler and apple pies. Worth the trip.

Italian cookies and fresh bread. Rainbow cookies are my favorite but you can't go wrong with a box of assorted Italian cookies.
