Cheers to 5 Years!

This week on the Long Island Tea Podcast, Sharon and Stacy are raising their mugs to five years of spilling the tea on all things Long Island. Discover Long Island created the Long Island Tea Podcast during the pandemic to share authentic stories and showcase the heart of our destination. From that initiative came projects like the award-winning Long Island TV series, a valued partnership with News12’s East End Show, and continued success for our now five-year-strong podcast—loved by Hot Teas in 114 countries around the world. To celebrate, Sharon and Stacy are kicking off this episode with some fun Long Island Tea Trivia, “Who Said It?” moments, and “Most Likely To” laughs that longtime listeners will love.

As the ladies celebrate this milestone, they’re also honoring Veterans Day (today, November 11th) with great places across Long Island to celebrate and recognize our local heroes, plus highlighting inspiring community causes that bring Long Islanders together to support one another.

#ShowUsYourLongIslander

This week’s spotlight shines on Keesha Bailey, a Huntington resident who unknowingly ordered the one-millionth pizza at Jonny D’s Pizza, celebrating 21 years in business. Keesha’s surprise came with confetti, music, and a full year of free pizza—a fun reminder to support the local spots that make Long Island special.

Long Island Comes Together Amid SNAP Delays:
