This is what a plane looks like.\u00a0 flyfrontier.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I know the weather outside is getting more and more frightful.\u00a0 \u00a0In fact, the thought of shoveling driveways, cold wet feet and darkness at 3:30pm has you completely depressed and overwhelmed.\u00a0 \u00a0 I know!\u00a0 I know… I feel you!\u00a0 \u00a0But before you call the doctor to “up” your daily dosage of “vitamin Z” (zoloft), read this blog.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0It will bring you comfort and joy.\u00a0 \u00a0DISCLAIMER: please don’t go off your meds folks, while I’m a joy for my family and at least<\/em> 2 of my friends, my suggestions here are not meant to be any sort of medical diagnosis so put down the phone.\u00a0 \u00a0Jacoby & Myers have more important lawsuits pending.<\/p>\n

Ok, so what’s my advice to put sunshine back in your life?\u00a0 \u00a0 Go visit flyfrontier.com <\/a>and book yourself a flight to the sunshine state for as little as $35 dollars!\u00a0 \u00a0Yes, you heard that right.\u00a0 \u00a0 For about the same cost as taking the jitney to midtown, you can instead haul you butts to Islip Airport (the easiest airport on the planet) hop on a plane and be in West Palm Beach, Miami or Ft. Myers in about 3 hours.\u00a0 \u00a0 So, the ride is about the same amount of time as a jitney as well.\u00a0 \u00a0 I will tell you the flights are no frills and you must pay for any additional baggage (checked, carry-on and emotional).\u00a0 \u00a0 In fact, while I was writing this I just got a quote for a flight from Islip to West Palm in January<\/p>\n

for $108 round trip!\u00a0 Now, that doesn’t include taxes or my baggage from growing up as the youngest of 6 in suburban New Jersey.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0From what I gathered, these rates will likely go up in the not too distant future but in the meantime stop complaining about the weather!<\/p>\n

If you’re not lucky enough to have the time or ability to hop on a flight to Florida and are instead heading to the Hamptons, you’re not alone.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0I call it the “Hurricane Harvey.” Because, for the first time ever, I had multiple rental inquiries for the week between Christmas and New Years!\u00a0 \u00a0 I’m not sure why Mr. Weinstein’s exploits have convinced peopl<\/p>\n

This is what a food truck looks like!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

e to “staycation” this holiday season but it’s kind of weird considering we also had a hurricane of the same name wipe out more than a few resorts in the Caribbean.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Word to the wise here, if you’re planning on being out here the week between the holidays and want to go out to eat, MAKE RESERVATIONS!\u00a0 \u00a0It’s going to be crowded.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0It’s traditionally a busy week but a few of my restaurant buddies have said reservations are up over last year.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Speaking of eating out.\u00a0 \u00a0I mean really eating out.\u00a0 Like outside …. in the cold…<\/p>\n

This is what a taco looks like!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

OUTSIDE.\u00a0 \u00a0 You might have noticed a food truck recently on the grounds of the Milk Pail in Water Mill.\u00a0 \u00a0 For those of you not brave enough to stop, I’ve done some snooping for you and discovered it’s a taco truck.\u00a0 \u00a0It’s called AJI Authentic Mexican Food.\u00a0 \u00a0Ok, they have more than tacos and the food is pretty good.\u00a0 \u00a0The hours seem to have a lot to do with if the weather is good and traffic wasn’t too heavy.\u00a0 \u00a0 So if you’re driving east, see the truck and have a hankering for a good taco, burrito or nachos stop by.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0It’s not the best you’ll ever have but it won’t disappoint and it’s kinda fun!<\/p>\n
