“We’re a good kind of a lot”

“We’re a good kind of a lot”

This week on the Long Island Tea Podcast, Sharon and Stacy are recapping another busy week repping Discover Long Island and dropping some exciting updates — including record-breaking tourism numbers that prove Long Island is shining brighter than ever. We’re celebrating three years of growth, nearly $8 billion in visitor spending in 2024, and a massive economic boost that’s helping keep our region thriving year-round. This week’s Show Us Your Long Islander spotlight shines on Jack Kennedy, a 17-year-old tennis phenom from Huntington who’s now the #1 junior player in the U.S. and competing in the U.S. Open Juniors — just miles from where he first picked up a racquet. Plus — big wins for Fire Island’s shoreline, Suffolk’s working waterfronts, a new raw bar for LIRR riders, and yes… an actual gator in a Long Island pond. (Only on Long Island, right?)Don’t miss this episode — it’s full of pride, power moves, and positivity for our region.#ShowUsYourLongIslander At just 17, Jack Kennedy from Huntington is the #1 U.S. junior tennis player — and he's now competing in the U.S. Open Juniors, just miles from the Melville courts where he grew up playing."I've been watching this tournament since I was five. Playing here now feels like a dream come true," says Jack, who’s also the top college recruit in the nation and has committed to the University of Virginia for 2026.With big goals to go pro and a love for the game that started right here on Long Island, Jack’s journey is one to watch.Show us YOUR Long Islander by sending us a DM, give us a call and leave a voicemail at 877-386-6654 x 400 or email us at spillthetea@discoverlongisland.com#LongIslandLifeWe’re celebrating three straight years of record-breaking tourism on Long Island — and we’re just getting started. In 2024 alone, visitors spent an incredible $7.9 billion across our region, a 3.8% jump from last year, generating $945 million in state and local taxes and supporting over 78,000 local jobs. At Discover Long Island, we’re proud to lead the charge in putting our destination on the map with smart, data-driven marketing and unforgettable experiences. From world-class events like the upcoming 2025 Ryder Cup to year-round promotions that support our downtowns and small businesses, we’re making sure Long Island shines in every season. Suffolk County saw the biggest gains, with a 7% increase in visitor spending — and thanks to tourism, local households saved nearly $1,000 in taxes. We’re proud to keep Long Island front and center as one of the top travel spots in the country. Let’s keep the momentum going!#ThisWeekendOnLongIslandFriday, September 12thEnergy Medicine with Nicholas Pratley at Shou Sugi Ban HouseSaturday, September 13th Deco in Style: 100 Years at Long Island MuseumPatty Larkin & Lucy Kalansky Songbird Sessions at Long Island Game FarmSunday, September 14thLong Island Explorium’s Maker FaireArts on Terry (AOT) 2025For more events to check out and detailed info please visit discoverlongisland.com or download our mobile app!CONNECT WITH US:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/longislandteapodcast/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@DiscoverLongIslandNYTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@longislandteapodcastX (Twitter): https://x.com/liteapodcastFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/longislandteapodcast/Shop Long Island Apparel:shop.discoverlongisland.comBe sure to leave us a 5-star rating and review wherever you’re listening, and screenshot your review for $5 off our Merch (Please email us to confirm) Hosted on Acast.

Downtowns, Pizza and Billy Joel

Downtowns, Pizza and Billy Joel

What downtown have you explored the most this summer? We’re sharing a charming new spot you’ll want to visit year-round — hint: it looks like it was pulled straight from a Hallmark movie! This week, Sharon and Stacy recap their time representing Discover Long Island at some exciting partner activations, including the First Annual Oyster Jamboree at Smith Point County Park and Tyler Hubbard live at the Catholic Health Amphitheater at Bald Hill! They also dive into some current hot topics, including controversial school bans, and share a heartwarming story about a local Long Islander who turned a difficult moment into something special for his daughter as she heads off to school each day. Plus — did someone say PIZZA FESTIVAL coming to Long Island?! 🍕 Don’t miss this fun and inspiring episode!#ShowUsYourLongIslander Long Island’s own Ryan Wosleger — better known as the “Snack Bag Dad”!What started as a simple doodle on a brown paper bag to cheer up his daughter during the pandemic became a powerful creative outlet that helped Ryan rediscover himself—and sparked a movement. After feeling stuck and unheard in corporate America, Ryan turned to drawing snack bag art each morning for his daughter, Briar. Those drawings transformed into detailed scenes—from space adventures to Disney characters—and quickly became the highlight of her school day. Now, he’s teaching kids and parents across Long Island at USDAN Summer Camp how to turn everyday lunch bags into tiny masterpieces. He’s saved every bag he’s ever made and plans to turn them into a book for his daughter someday—hoping she’ll be a “snack bag mom” in the future. From one small act of love came a whole new life path.Show us YOUR Long Islander by sending us a DM, give us a call and leave a voicemail at 877-386-6654 x 400 or email us at spillthetea@discoverlongisland.com#LongIslandLife NEW BLOG: Long Island Downtowns: NorthportNorthport, Long Island is a waterfront village full of charm, history, and postcard-perfect views.

#Blessed and BUSY

#Blessed and BUSY

We’re spilling the tea on everything from divine encounters to Disney Channel nostalgia this week, Hot Teas! Tune in as we share the incredible story of how the Pope casually blessed Long Island (yes, really), preview a star-studded weekend lineup, and highlight how Long Island continues to lead the way in clean energy, culture, and community. From brunch spots to blockbuster concerts, local legends to national news, we’ve got a jam-packed episode you don’t want to miss.#ShowUsYourLongIslanderEach week, we shine a spotlight on a standout Long Island local who’s made waves in the community or online! Whether it’s a loyal Hot Tea listener who never misses an episode, a viral social media sensation putting Long Island on the map, or a good Samaritan going above and beyond for others — this is your moment to shine.Last week, we teased that the Pope had blessed Long Island, and now we’re sharing the full story! Harrison Voorhees of Brightwaters had an unexpected brush with the Pope during a family trip to Rome. While in St. Peter’s Square, Harrison stood on a chair as the Pope passed by in the Popemobile. Unsure of what to say, he shouted out, “Chaminade, Long Island!” referencing his former Catholic school. The Pope responded with a thumbs up, repeated “Long Island,” and gave a sign of the cross — offering a small but mighty blessing for our Island. The moment nearly didn’t happen, as the family had originally planned to visit the Colosseum that day, but changed plans last-minute to attend the papal appearance.Show us YOUR Long Islander by sending us a DM, give us a call and leave a voicemail at 877-386-6654 x 400 or email us at spillthetea@discoverlongisland.com#LongIslandLifeGolfers sleeping in cars so they can play a Long Island course ahead of Ryder Cup?!NEW BLOG: Long Island Downtowns – PatchogueOnce lined with vacant storefronts, Downtown Patchogue has transformed into a vibrant cultural hub on Long Island’s South Shore.
