Things To Do
Jones Beach State Park
No visit to Nassau County or summer spent here is complete without a visit (or many visits) to Jones Beach. It’s the most popular oceanfront destination on Long Island and with good reason. Take a drive along Ocean Parkway to enjoy the sights and sounds as you run the entire length of the beach. Along with beach activities such as swimming, sunbathing, and surfing, you’ll also find a marina, boardwalk, swimming pool, nature center, fishing piece, mini-golf, and amphitheater where big-name concerts are held every summer.
Copperhill
located in Willston Park, is considered by many as one of the top restaurants in Nassau County. This modern American kitchen and taproom are all about upscale dining in a casual and comfortable environment. Located inside a 125-year-old Victorian farmhouse, it offers plenty of rustic charm to go with a sophisticated menu and an interior that feels very modern. There’s also a porch dining room that’s ideal for warm nights.
Garden Social Beer Garden & Kitchen
If you’re looking for something a little more down-to-earth, check out Garden Social, in East Meadow where you’ll find American fare and a wide selection of beers inside a building full of rustic decor, reclaimed brick, and warehouse shelving. The outdoor beer garden is a great place to unwind and relax over a pot of mussels and beers. Inside, you’ll find an upscale but approachable menu full of American classics and unique twists.
Gatsby's Landing
Gatsby’s Landing in Roslyn boasts an elegant ambiance and upscale service while diners get to appreciate a view overlooking Roslyn Pond. Their globally inspired menu also boasts plenty of New American cuisine made from seasonal ingredients often found nearby. A great spot for special occasions and memorable moments.
Broadway Commons
Broadway Commons is an ideal starting spot for shoppers on a budget. You’ll find plenty of top stores around, including H&M, Children’s Place, and Old Navy, and Macy’s is the big anchor tenant found here. You’ll also find a bowling alley and entertainment court to keep the kids busy.
Americana Manhasset
American Manhasset is where to go when you’re looking for something a little more upscale. This outdoor shopping center includes 60 retailers and 220,000 square feet of shopping space. There are beautiful gardens and sculptures to gawk at, or you can head inside to peruse the goods at Brooks Brothers, Gucci, Versace, Armani, and many other high-end shops.
