LIRR Announces Brewery Tour

by

LIRR President Phil Eng held a press conference in the Lindenhurst Downtown to announce the MTA Long Island Rail Road’s new “Long Island Brewery Tour” package.  This escorted tour package includes discounted round-trip rail and bus transportation, beer tastings at Sand City South in Lindenhurst and Great South Bay Brewery in Bay Shore, and a stop at Patchogue for shopping and dining.  Tour dates are Saturday, July 31 and Saturday, August 21, and adult-only tickets are $63.50.  Visit https://new.mta.info/daytrips for more information.

Mayor Michael Lavorata said, “What a wonderful partnership between the LIRR and the local business communities.  This is an especially timely event which will help to showcase some of our new and local establishments.  The suggestion to use the LIRR to travel between localities without the need to drive naturally reduces the potential of DWI!  It is a safe and enjoyable way to visit your favorite local breweries, restaurants, and pubs.”

Mayor’s Message – July 2021

by

For most of our residents, 4th of July celebrations include backyard BBQ’s, swimming, boating with family and friends, and often involve fireworks.  That being said, I would like to remind everyone that fireworks — aerial consumer fireworks, firecrackers and chasers, skyrockets, roman candles, bombs, and metal wire sparklers — are illegal in New York State.

Fireworks are beautiful, but dangerous, and the use of fireworks can often lead to devastating injuries.  An unplanned trip to the emergency room, or worse, can wreck any holiday.

Respecting firework laws and the dangers they were written to avoid is the best way to have a safe celebration with memories that will last a lifetime.  Let us also remember that Independence Day noise can be trying for households with pets, small children, and others.

I would like to wish all Lindenhurst residents and visitors a Happy and Safe 4th of July, and ask that you are all kind and considerate this holiday.
