Memorial Day Weekend Around New Village

It’s time to celebrate the unofficial start of summer. With Memorial Day Weekend almost upon us, t’s time to start making plans for how you’ll spend your time off in the greater Patchogue area. With plenty of events happening near the The New Village, you won’t have to venture too far.

Fire Island- What better way to spend Memorial Day Weekend than to hit the beach. Make a day out of it and take the ferry from Bayshore to Ocean Beach, Fire Island. Spend some time at the beach, take a walk to the lighthouse, or do some shopping on the boardwalk. Afterwards, grab a bite to eat at Island Mermaid, a casual New American eatery with great drinks and beautiful views.

Country Fest and Dublin Deck- Celebrate Memorial Day at Patchogue’s Dublin Deck! The bar and restaurant will be hosting Country Fest, with live music from Whiskey Road. Stop by to enjoy no cover, $4 Saranac, and country music, and favorites from the 70s, 80s, and 90s.

Memorial Day Parade- With all the plans that take place Memorial Day Weekend, it can be easy to forget why we celebrate the Monday holiday in the first place. To commemorate men and women who have gave their lives while serving in our armed forces, consider attending Patchogue’s Memorial Day Parade.  The Parade will start at 11am on Main Street at Route 112 to Ocean Avenue and then south to the American Legion Post. The ceremony will be in the Veterans Memorial Park outside the American Legion Post.

Mother’s Day Gifts and Activities

With Mother’s Day quickly approaching, it’s the perfect time to think about how you’ll spend your day with Mom, or to show her that you’re thinking of her. If your mother is nearby, there are plenty of events taking place in the greater Patchogue area to enjoy together. And even if she’s not close to the New Village, we have some gift ideas for you below.

Mother’s Day Brunch- For a truly special Mother’s Day, consider treating your mom to a Mother’s Day brunch at Lombardi’s on the Bay. Located in Patchogue overlooking the Great South Bay, Lombardi’s is hosting their annual Mother’s Day Brunch Buffet starting at 11:00am. Buffet stations include a breakfast and omelette presentation, a Tuscan antipasto table, hot gourmet buffet, and dessert station among others. The buffet includes wine, mimosas, and soft beverages. The event is $58 per adult, and $24 per child ages 3-10. Call the restaurant to reserve your spot in advance.

Flower Delivery- You can never go wrong with flowers on Mother’s Day. If your mom lives in the local area, consider ordering flowers from Mayer’s Flower Cottage,  a local florist offering a variety of special bouquets for the holiday. If you’d like to order flowers to be delivered outside of the local area, consider ordering through ProFlowers, who is currently offering a special promotion through Groupon.

Meal Delivery-  Does your mom enjoy cooking? If so, save her a trip to the grocery store this upcoming week, and gift her a week’s worth of meals from HelloFresh. HelloFresh is a weekly meal delivery service that provides pre-portioned ingredients and recipes that you pick out online. A $60 e-Giftcard that provides 3 meals for 2 people would make a great gift for your mom this Mother’s Day. Perhaps you and her can even cook one of the meals together!
