Hello Nassau! Let’s Talk What’s New & What’s Next

Friday brings the perfect local combo: food now, fitness later.

Dom’s Famous Chicken Fingers has made its Plainview debut, giving fans a closer stop than the original New Hyde Park run. We’re also watching Crunch Fitness’ Long Island expansion, including a planned Long Beach location on East Park Avenue. Add in local events, and you’ve got a useful weekend mix: something to eat, somewhere to move, and a few reasons to get out.

Today we’re following the money, not the noise.

More than $23 million in federal funding is tied to Long Island projects, including workforce training, YMCA community space, and support connected to The Viscardi Center in Albertson. We’re keeping the focus practical: what gets funded, who may benefit, and when residents might actually see results. Also today, Oyster Bay earned a national financial-reporting award for the third year in a row. Plus, local events to help you plan ahead.

Farmingdale is tackling parking, fire gear, and Main Street headaches.

Farmingdale Village approved $1.5 million in bonds for two practical upgrades: a new public parking lot on Division Street and replacement air packs for the fire department. We’re also looking at Nassau County’s No. 1 ranking on a New York best-counties list, with the obvious catch: great schools, parks, and amenities still come with high housing costs. Plus, local events to keep your week moving.
