There are over 50 wineries on Long Island, and there isn't a bad one in the bunch. You never need an excuse to visit a local winery, but National Merlot Day on November 7th gives you the perfect opportunity to enjoy a day of wine tasting and other treats. Our REALTORS® are familiar with some of the most popular wineries in the area, and we'd like to share some of our favorites with you today.

Sipping tea can be so relaxing. This is especially true in the fall when temperatures drop. Whether you like black, green, or white tea, you can find your favorite on Long Island. In fact, there are several great tea shops that our REALTORS® recommend visiting.

October may be most famous for all the ghosts and goblins seen in front of houses across the country, but it's also a great month for those of us with a sweet tooth. That's because October 28th is National Chocolate Day. There are so many places to get chocolate near Nassau County and Suffolk County homes for sale that our REALTORS® thought it'd be great to share some of our favorites with you. Visit any of the shops listed below on National Chocolate Day or any other day of the year, and you won't be disappointed.

Everyone has a favorite dessert, and milkshakes happen to be the go-to for many of our REALTORS®. Milk, ice cream, and syrup is a wonderful combination that has been a staple among classic diners, fast food restaurants, and ice cream parlors for decades. While vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry are the traditional flavors, never underestimate the versatility of a milkshake!

How long has it been since you last saw your friends in person? September is Friendship Month, and according to our REALTORS®, that means you have the perfect excuse to get together. Start your day with a delicious celebratory brunch at one of these great brunch places around Long Island.
