    Who's up for a day trip? The season's maximum sunlight invites Long Islanders on longer-than-usual journeys, and there's hardly a better wam-weather destination than an exciting new restaurant on the water, near the vineyards or in the Hamptons.

    A long-standing, family-owned Peruvian restaurant in Jackson Heights, Queens has expanded to open a Huntington location.

BREAKING: While boasting on Fox News about her efforts to dismantle the Department of Education, Linda McMahon couldn’t even explain what the IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act) is. This is the person trying to destroy education in America. Let that sink in. https://t.co/2ShdrBJQdK
