LIC Spot

An inside source has informed LIC Spot that the kid’s water pad at Gantry State Park will be opening on July 4th (of this year, we hope). This inside source, however, has been wrong about other rumors and is not all that sure about this one either. Our inside source is obviously unreliable.

But another inside source claims that they are indeed on track to open the water pad “this summer”. This inside source has also been wrong about certain stories but there is one fact that we can actually verify regarding the water pad. The inside source states that “the water pad has been nothing but a three-year cluster f***”.

Wow. We love our inside sources.

Have you wanted to taste every single LIC restaurant but just never had the time? Well you’re in luck because next Tuesday the Chocolate Factory Theater hosts the 7th annual Taste of LIC in Gantry Plaza State Park. If you haven’t been, it’s essentially a massive tent where over 50 local LIC restaurants offer tastings and drinks from their menu. Yeah, it’s a pig-out paradise! But the best part is that it’s all for a good cause (and mostly tax deductible). There will be plenty of silent auction items and an after party for all ticket holders. Prices are pretty darn good too ($60 per ticket and more if you want to get the VIP treatment).
