1. Smithtown Calendar: See What's Happening In The Area This Week. Want to spend a night out with friends? Below, we've included some of this week's top events from Smithtown. See what's happening and what might interest you before you make plans. (Smithtown Patch)
2. HIA-LI Applauds Breeze Airways' Decision to Launch Nonstop Service from L.I. Macarthur Airport. HIA-LI, one of Long Island’s largest business advocacy organizations, praised the decision by Breeze Airways to select Long Island MacArthur Airport in Islip as its base of operations in New York State – and to initiate nonstop service from the airport to Charleston, SC and Norfolk, VA. The airline’s choice of Long Island MacArthur Airport follows closely on the heels of the October 2021 release of HIA-LI’s Long Island MacArthur Airport Survey which found that the addition of more nonstop flights at the airport could potentially generate more than $1 billion in new revenue for the region annually.

3. Some Coca-Cola, Sprite, Minute Maid Products Recalled In New York. If you've stocked up on Coca-Cola, Minute Maid, or Sprite products for the holidays — or have just a few spare bottles of the soft drinks and other beverages on hand — check the labels to make sure they aren't among products recalled in New York because they may contain metal bolts and washers.

4. Long Island's Best Christmas Light Displays 2021 [MAP]. Jonathan Dignam was kind enough to send us the above map of hundreds of the best Christmas light displays at homes across Long Island. You can find the addresses in list from here. Want your house added to the map? (The Patch)
