“Among my fave spots around. The atmosphere is electric and they play every game! Enjoy their all-day happy hour, when you can receive five shots for $25 to $40 (depending on your poison of choice). The food is more typical of a pub, but it's great for a quick bite and priced friendly! Highly recommended their bulgogi quesadilla. Couldn’t gate-keep any longer!!“

“Hubby and I went there last night for first time. Great experience, amazing food and nice crowd. This is going to be our new go to spot on fridays.“

“The Snug and City Island Diner are true local treasures. They’re owned by the same wonderful people and share a kitchen, but each has its own vibe and hours — and together they’re unbeatable.

The fully loaded chili here is hands-down the best I’ve ever had. It’s rich, hearty, perfectly seasoned, and also shows up in their nachos, which makes them next-level comfort food.

One of my favorite things? They have a secret menu (no longer advertised) with specialty grilled cheese sandwiches and specialty hot dogs — and we absolutely love it. The Tuscan Melt (no onion) is perfection, and the Reuben Dog is unforgettable. With the hot dogs you get two, and you can mix and match styles, which is such a fun and generous touch.

At The Snug, my go-to drink is a black & tan, which pairs perfectly with the cozy, neighborhood pub feel. Over at the diner, my favorite dish is the Corned Beef Hash breakfast — classic, satisfying, and done exactly right.

Beyond the food, what really sets these places apart is the people. Every server is genuinely kind, welcoming, and deeply plugged into the City Island community. You feel like a regular even on your first visit.

Great food, great people, and real local character. City Island wouldn’t be the same without them. 💙🍽️🍺“

“Dagim is fabulous! The menu is vast and has options to suit everyone, and the service is exceptional. The atmosphere in the restaurant is lovely for either parties or cozy family dinners. Suitable for people of all ages, I’d recommend Dagim to anyone looking for great food and good company. The cuisine, service, and treatment from the owners never disappoints!“

“First time going, I was invited to a birthday gathering. I’m a Puerto Rican woman, The people were great. The DJ was incredible. The Crowd, I love because it was the older crowd.(with younger Group too) I’m a 69 year old woman (don’t look it) loved how everyone was dressed, the restaurant Was very pleasant , the host walked around greeting and talking and asking “Is everything OK?”. MY COMPLAINT IS !!!!
They should have a special on the drinks. I thought it was very very expensive. I did not drink at all because I refuse to pay what they were asking for. The Manager ! should have a special for the ladies between (8pm n 9:30) free or 1/2 The Price !“

“My Husband & I Love This Spot So Much. We Come As Often As We Can Which Is A Lot. The Staff Are Very Friendly And Never Had A Bad Experience. I Will Continue To Come, Sit, Eat & Drink.“

“I've been to a lot of establishment in Hempstead but what I love the most about this place is that it's well welcoming and you have a great time and you can have a cocktail and get a meal at the same“

“It’s a Lavish presence that each person needs to experience …“

“The food is incredible!! And so are the drinks 👍Both my husband and myself were stuffed when we left. Jeff had the turkey burger and I had the lobster roll I asked if he wanted to split our meals but he liked his too much lol I had to eat most of the lobster off the top so I could eat it like a sandwich Took the picture after I ate a good portion off the top Mark and his crew are the best! Thank u again ❤️❤️“

“The Bar tenders and the owner are always very hospitable and welcoming- even to newcomers. It is a quintessential community institution - where even if you are new to the village, you will be made to feel at home! All are welcomed - there are board games and always sports on multiple TVs- I have been coming to this establishment through several different owners and name changes- but the current owner is the best by far!“

“Delish original drinks and food. Staff is super friendly and on point. Definitely my new favorite place.“

“Great local joint Recommend if you want to do shots and watch the game“

“Overall good ambience great staff and great crowd.“

“Great wings. Cold beer. Friendly service.“

“Great local "dive" bar lol. Good atmosphere, pool table, dart board, jukebox, TVs, bar area and tables. Nicole was a great bartender. Not over crowded, but enough people there that y has some life. We don't go out that often anymore, but it's good to have a local watering hole in the neighborhood when we do.“

“Great staff, located on the water and nice views of the marina. New indoor stage for live music. Large outdoor patio area. Fun place!!“

“Don’t come here. Much too good for you. We don’t want you blowin this spot up. BEST KEPT SECRET 🤫 GO AWAY! NOT INVITED. Stay home.

For real, low key best family summer spot on the island. Entirely kid friendly tidal beach with more wildlife that you’ll know what to do with. Being a net and bucket if you have toddlers. Food is epic and beach side, bar is a MOVIE in a bait and tackle shop.

Endless summer and the most iconic family core memories.

But don’t come. Don’t want you here!“

“Beautiful friendly environment!!!!“

“Absolutely amazing experience at Mann Sarka! The food was delicious — every dish was full of authentic flavor and beautifully presented. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, perfect for both casual meals and special occasions. I especially loved how fresh the ingredients tasted and how quickly the food came out. Definitely one of the best dining spots in town — can’t wait to come back!“

“My brother, his wife, and I went to this establishment for lunch and were seated outside, since it was such nice weather on that day. We ordered spinach & artichoke dip and boneless wings as starters, which we gladly enjoyed; and Leo's BBQ ribs, the Trojan Chicken, and the Teriyaki skirt steak for the entrees. Each dish was quite delicious, although my sister-in-law found the steak a bit salty for her tastes. The staff were kind and very attentive as well. Personally, the Trojan chicken was my favorite out of the entrees. It came with a side of yellow rice, and the grilled chicken was topped with mushrooms and cheese. I highly recommend it!“

“First time at this establishment and I had an awesome time. First person I encountered was Giovanna the bartender and she was the friendliest person I've met so far here in NY. Her personality was so awesome Looking forward to going back next Saturday.“

“So glad to be back at the bar. The staff and owner are amazing and taking every precaution necessary. Y check when you walk in the door, hand sanitizer and social distancing being practiced. The renovations look amazing and the service is as great as ever. The food is great and reasonably priced. Can’t wait to come back for more drinks.“

“the food and drinks for me“

“Love the food specially the desserts!“

“great place to hang out with friends. Staff is awesome. I recommend this place“

“Great times with great people. Chill vibes and good music!“

“It's not the best cocktail bar in the world, but it's the best cocktail bar in an old Lockheed Constellation that happens to be decked out in TWA livery while sitting on the tarmac next to Eero Saarinen's iconic terminal building. All of those are very cool things, and the Connie is a must-do if you're chilling at the TWA.

Pour yourself into a martini or two and dream of the halcyon Jet Set days of yesteryear.“
