Five Pennies Creamery in Rockville Centre
Five Pennies is our new favorite dessert spot on Long Island. It’s got everything that we want from an ice cream shop; fresh ice cream, frozen custard, incredible ices and an owner whose sole purpose is to keep making them better (and more delectable).

NY Cupcakery is a small cupcake shop located on Merrick Road in Bellmore. Since 2010 they’ve been baking wonderful cupcakes, cake pops and cakes not only for the general public, but also for private events and parties. The imagination of the bakers on site is endless and some of the crafted baked goodness coming out of this shop rivals any of the best across the country.
The Witches Brew in West Hempstead
When we were in high school, we used to escape to the Witches Brew on weekend nights to escape the clutches of our parents and enter a world where espresso concoctions and a goth clientele ruled the day.

One of our favorite aspects of having this great website is trekking around the island and picking out interesting businesses to feature for our loyal readers. Driving through Huntington on many occasions in the past few years, we’ve always passed by Wild Flours, a unique bakery on New Street. This time, we elected to stop in and snap some photos.
Get Baked in Rockville Centre
Bakeries that serve oversized cupcakes may be the biggest rage these days on the island. It’s not uncommon for a new bakery to set up shop in any of the villages, Rockville Centre included. Get Baked is a relative newcomer to the area and their front counter is littered with unique flavors and combinations to fulfill those sweet-tooth needs.
Food News: Town Bagel of Plainview Gets a Redesign
Town Bagel of Plainview was our go-to lunch spot while we were growing up in Plainview back in the early 1990′s. Since that time its always had the same decor and design, a point that we always noticed on our recent trips there. That’s changing now with the just unveiled re-design of our favorite bagel spot.

Pip’s Ice Cream in Freeport
Those nights walking down Woodcleft Avenue on Freeport’s Nautical Mile can get you in the mood for something very sweet (especially if you’ve been eating some of that salty seafood all night). We’ve got you covered with Pip’s Ice Cream, located a stone’s throw away from the waterfront views.
Hildebrandt’s in Williston Park
With so many new restaurants popping up across Long Island, it’s easy to forget those restaurants with a rich history of serving Long Islanders for nearly a century. Hildebrandt’s in Williston Park is one such restaurant that has served many generations of families and their commitment to serving quality food and reasonable prices cannot be overlooked.
Cupcake Contessas in Williston Park
The last time we ran into the Cupcake Contessas was way back in January of 2009. At that time they were located in Huntington and were nice enough to send us over some samples to enjoy. Now with their own shop in Willison Park, we were in the area for a recent television shoot and by stroke of luck, their new shop was located just next door.
