• What will you do on the first day of 2023? If you want to do something different or like to be in contact with nature, join thousands of New Yorkers and participate in the 12th annual First Day Hikes. Various parks and trails will be open on Long Island on Jan. 1. Don't forget to dress for the weather! The link I've shared lists places to go hiking for those who need tips. (Patch)
• Have you heard that a Wegmans Supermarket is coming to Long Island? The store is expected to open in 2024 in Lake Grove! The Village of Lake Grove has approved the grocery store to be set up at the DSW Plaza on Middle Country Road. (Smithtown Patch)
