Battling Migraine Hangovers Oct 07, 2025

This week on the Long Island Tea Podcast, Sharon is BACK—and she’s pushing through a “migraine hangover” after being out sick last week. She and Stacy are catching up on everything they missed and diving into a jam-packed episode filled with local pride, fall festival season, inspiring community members, and celebrity surprises.

They’re spotlighting a Long Island mom who turned her passion project into a powerful family-focused platform, and sharing the incredible story of a young man who turned a devastating setback into motivation to compete—and win—on the bodybuilding stage.

Plus, they’re recapping the major celeb moments happening right here on Long Island and highlighting the best fall events coming up this weekend.

#ShowUsYourLongIslander

This week’s spotlight goes to Lauren, aka @KidsDayOutLI, a Long Island mom whose mission to find fun things to do with her kids turned into one of the region’s most trusted family resources. Now with over 100,000 followers, Lauren regularly works with local businesses (including Discover Long Island) to showcase the best parks, restaurants, and events for families across the Island. Her story is a perfect example of how a side hustle can grow into a full-time dream job—and we’re proud to cheer her on.

“We’re a good kind of a lot” Sep 09, 2025

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.

#LongIslandLife

We’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!

Downtowns, Pizza and Billy Joel Aug 26, 2025

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.

#Blessed and BUSY Aug 19, 2025

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.

#ShowUsYourLongIslander

Each 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.

#ShowUsYourLongIslander

Today’s shoutout honors two fallen heroes who are no longer with us but continue to inspire through the legacy they left behind. New York State Troopers Fabio Buttitta of Deer Park (age 31) and Thomas O’Niel of East Islip (age 56) were both recently memorialized with bridges renamed in their honor along the Sagtikos Parkway, near the Brentwood headquarters where they served.

We remember and thank Troopers Buttitta and O’Niel for their courage, dedication, and the lasting impact they've made on Long Island and beyond.

“We’re not prima donnas we promise!” Aug 05, 2025

Don’t rush through your summer Hot Teas — or your prepodcast primping! Sharon and Stacy are keeping it real this week and promise they’re not being prima donnas.

We’re in full SWING mode here at Discover Long Island as our team preps for the Ryder Cup coming to Long Island next month! And while we hate to mention winter, planning is officially underway for our 2025 Tourism Awards Gala!

This week, the ladies dive into some Long Island-inspired reads, spotlight iconic local landmarks, and feature another amazing local in our Show Us Your Long Islander segment.

Have a story we should share? Don’t forget to write in — we’d love to hear from you!

#ShowUsYourLongIslander

Today’s shoutout goes to Michael Rabinowitz of Amityville — a Long Islander turning personal loss into community impact. After losing his mom Barbara to Alzheimer’s, Michael partnered with the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America and former State Senator Chuck Fuschilio to open the Barbara Rabinowitz Education & Resource Center — the first-of-its-kind on Long Island. The center offers support for both Alzheimer’s patients and their families, with unique features like a travel training room (complete with real LIRR and airplane seats), plus memory games, karaoke, sensory bingo, and more. Through his foundation, Michael’s long supported causes like MS and special needs — and now, he’s helping thousands of local families navigate dementia with dignity and care. Cheers to you, Michael — a true Long Islander making a real difference.

Shoutout to Getting Old! Jul 29, 2025

This one is for the animal lovers... and our golden hot teas! We're chatting all about our new little lizard friends finding their way all across the island! While they may be cute we have more to highlight with some amazing outdoor dining spots to frequent this summer and an incredible Long Islander of the week who knows how to fight for what she loves despite her past.

#ShowUsYourLongIslander

This week’s Long Islander shoutout Gilda Zirinsky, a Holocaust survivor who recently celebrated her 90th birthday, has been working out at the Strength in Mobility fitness center in Manhasset through boxing and strength training. Given her bravery in surviving this horrific era of her live, some days she fights back tears and others she just fights… For the last seven years, Gilda has been taking boxing and strengthening classes. She says she loves doing it every second because she can get out all of her frustration and remain active. Gilda’s story is an incredible reminder of the strength, resilience and passion that comes from our community while also supporting a local business at the Fitness Center she frequents.

National Orange Blossom Day (June 27th)

Del Vino Vineyards has recently introduced their Orange Blossom addition to their wines and it has become a fast staple at the vineyard “Exhibiting an aromatic, distinctive aroma of an orange blossom blooming, this fruit forward wine is balanced by crisp acidity leading into ripe, freshly picked oranges and caramelized apricots, expressing a fine and velvety mouthfeel, which leaves the palate with a fruit forward, refreshingly sweet harmonic taste.”

National Foodie Day (June 28th)

Long Island is home to so many fantastic restaurants both on and off the water but as the weather is looking more promising and Summer is finally here, let’s talk about some of our favorite spots to grab a bite “on the wawta”

NEW BLOG: Jaws Turns 50! Long Island’s Role

June 20th marked the 50th anniversary of Jaws, the film that made beachgoers everywhere crazy about sharks, in more ways than one. While the movie’s iconic music (dun-dun dun-dun) and suspenseful scenes are forever etched into pop culture, the real-life inspiration behind the story has deep roots right here on Long Island.

#ChariTEA

Julie reached out from Penny’s Flight - an organization inspired by Penny, a talented artist, fashionista, world traveler, social media influencer and the founder of “Glam Camp”, a summer program for young girls. In just 16 years, she lived a life full of purpose, passion and joy, and through her actions showed countless others how to live with grace. Penny was a model of resilience, positivity and courage. Diagnosed with neurofibromatosis (NF1) as an infant, Penny never let this define her or hold her back. She lived her life “Walking on Sunshine”, in the words of her favorite song.

They’re having the Third Annual Penny’s Flight Family Jamboree at Planting Fields this Saturday, June 28th! In the past two years, FamJam raised over $2.4 million for NF Research and welcomed 850 attendees from NYC, CT, and beyond. This year, their goal is to raise $1.5 million while celebrating music, community, and family fun.

What doesn't kill you makes you STRONGER! Jan 16, 2024

Today on Long Island tea, Kristen and Sharon are continuing wellness month by talking about some more unconventional and fun forms of wellness. Kristen reads her horoscope and Sharon manifests the phrase “onward and upward.” They talk about their weeks and briefly touch on what’s going on with Nassau County choosing to no longer be a part of the Long Island brand that Discover Long Island has built and what exactly that means. The ladies are sipping on the classic Pindar Winter White, one of Long Island’s most popular wines. It’s an off-dry blend of Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, and Cayuga. Kristen bought a new couch and Sharon tells a horror story of ordering a couch online. Then the ladies talk about about items they have picked up from the curb. *HOTTEAS- let us know on Instagram or TikTok- what is the best thing you’ve ever gotten from the curb? They close the show with Long Island events this weekend, talking about ski trips, and spilling some CelebriTEA.

Don't Call an Uber in the middle of the bay! Aug 08, 2023

Today on Long Island Tea, Kristen is sad about taking Kenzie back to college, and Sharon recaps her Fire Island bachelorette party weekend. The ladies share so much #LongIslandLife as Kristen attends the 100th anniversary of NY Sate Parks at Jones Beach, the first Iron Man competition is coming to Long Island (also at Jones Beach), the Long Island Serial Killer investigation has released move info, and two hospitals on LI were named best in the country. Today's Taste of Long Island is from Long Island Farm Brewery- "Sunny Honey," a delicious sunflower ale! Plus the Barbieheimer craze, DLI giveaways, and tons of CelebriTea you don't want to miss (like how much Taylor Swift pays her crew, and is Cardi B being sued?) Finally the ladies close the show talking about annoying TikTok trends and a phone scam you need to know about.

Nobody puts Baby in the corner! *On site at The Pridwin, Shelter Island* Jul 11, 2023

Today on Long Island Tea, a very special episode, we are on location on the beautiful Shelter Island at one of the most amazing resorts, The Pridwin. The Pridwin Hotel and Cottages is a classic American resort hotel that has been offering welcoming hospitality on Shelter Island since 1927. Newly renovated by Cape Resorts, the Pridwin offers pristine luxury in a breathtaking setting on the Peconic Bay, while maintaining its classic charm. In the summertime you can expect to experience campfires, water sports, guided hikes and bicycle trips, pool days and dockside dips, delicious cuisine, and cocktails at sunset.

Shelter Island is nestled between the north and south forks and is accessible by ferry from Greenport on the North Fork or North Haven in The Hamptons.

The ladies are living their Dirty Dancing dreams, sampling some delicious menu items and sipping on cocktails while sitting in front of a picturesque backdrop of sail boats gliding across the bay. Kristen recaps her day in Shelter Island, stopping for oysters at Peeko Oyster Barn and Sharon talks about her exclusive tour of the Pridwin. They also get a chance to chat with the owner of Cape Resorts, Curtis Bashaw to spill all the tea on this beautiful, iconic resort.

A near-death experience and rodent invasions Feb 07, 2023

Today on Long Island Tea, the ladies talk Groundhog’s day, Did you know Long Island has two infamous Groundhogs? And speaking of rodents, the ladies share some hilarious stories of rodents in the house! Plus Kristen talks about a terrifying near-death experience that will keep you on the edge of your seat- all we’ll say is please be safe when driving near school buses!

It’s February, which means Black History Month. Discover Long Island is offering a Partnership Grant program for the month of February for black-owned businesses.

Also, right now at the Southampton African American museum, there is a new interactive Augmented Reality experience called "Digital Tapestry." This technology is also available at several Long Island historical sites, thanks to a donation from the Gardiner Foundation.Learn more about this incredible technology here: https://www.360xr.com/

And learn more about the Gardiner Foundation, including their 40K scholarship for Long Island High School Seniors looking to major in a History related field. Visit: https://www.rdlgfoundation.org/

It is also an important time to talk about the film “Speak to Me” which highlights mental health struggles of Black Americans, particularly men. “Speak to Me” aims to start the conversation about subjects that are at times taboo in our culture; mental health, and vulnerable communication.

This Film will premiere Feb 16th at Sayville Cinemas. For tickets and information visit:

PS I Love You Day

Mission: Our mission is to bring awareness to the importance of mental health and decrease bullying. We strongly believe that by educating students earlier about mental health, the conversation will be easier to discuss and students will be able to recognize when they or others around them need help. On the second Friday of every February, we encourage communities to wear purple in order to foster kindness and a welcoming environment, and educate others that mental health is just as important as physical health.

Positivity, Protection, Wellness, and Long Island Stories with Elisa DiStefano Jan 31, 2023

Today on Long Island Tea, Long Island’s sweetheart Elisa Distefano cohosts with Kristen and Sharon. The ladie show off their new handprinted “How You Doin” mugs from Simply Made Greetings. (Get yours on shop.discoverlongisland.com. Limited supply)

Winding down wellness January, Elisa brings some crystals for positivity, protection, and wellness, and Kristen and Sharon share some of their favorite wellness items they’ve put on our Amazon page, including items talked about in previous episodes at amazon.com/shop/discoverlongisland.

Elisa spills the tea on her switch from News 12 to Newsday TV, being a mom, the restaurants she owns with her husband in Point Lookout: Mo’nelisa and The Point Bar & Grill, the highs and lows of being a media personality, and the added pressure of social media. Plus, she shares a hilarious story about an incident that happened while LIVE on TV, and shares insights about the importance of supporting other women.

Today’s Wine of the Week is Raphael Winery- La Fontana, a Bordeaux blend comprised of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, & Petit Verdot, velvety and balanced. The ladies also share some #LongIslandLife- another TV show filmed at Oheka Castle, Long Island getting its own Iron Man competition, and how to support local businesses this Valentines day.

They close the show with Celebritea- a senior citizen version of The Bachelor, Paris Hilton having a baby via surrogate, and Anna Delvey in a new series.

Catherine encourages us to “have your cake and eat it too” by enjoying ourselves without overindulging, and shares how wine, tea, and chocolate are good for your heart, mind, body, and soul. As a board certified health coach, Catherine works with C-level management and other clients/ managing stress and work/life balance. The ladies also talk Golden Globes, Prince Harry’s new book, Tom Hanks’ favorite cocktail “cokeagne”, and the end of Sierra Mist.

From Jellyfish on the beach to Flipping your porch for Fall Sep 13, 2022

Today on Long Island Tea - it’s still summer but the ladies are talking FAWL and back to school. From flipping your porch to heading out to the farm, with fall festivals every weekend. The ladies are drinking Channing Daughters Rosso Fresco, an easy-going red blend. Kristen talks about a busy weekend with a meeting in Buffalo followed by being the keynote speaker for an event benefiting Adventureland’s Helping Hands Foundation. For #LongIslandLife, Jellyfish invade the beaches, (Sharon even got stung by one), the oldest Long Islander, Henrietta Dobin, dies at 111, and the new LIRR Concourse is unveiled at Penn Station. For CelebriTEA the ladies discuss all the drama with the “Don’t Worry Darling” movie. Other hot topics: Record breaking travel over Labor Day Weekend, looted artifacts at the Met, and someone suing Starbucks over $4. And finally, Kristen and Sharon reflect on 9/11 and the impact it had on Long Island as well as the rest of the country.
