    NEW BLOG: Historic Sites of African American Heritage on Long Island

    Each week during Black History Month, we will highlight a segment of this blog to honor the historic and influential figures from Long Island’s Black community.


    Sag Harbor, a historic whaling village on Long Island. By the mid-1800s, Sag Harbor was home to one of the most significant free Black communities in the North. The Eastville Community Historical Society preserves the legacy of Black whalers and their contributions to the maritime industry.

They share their winter cold survival tips, must-try igloo dining experiences, and, of course, spill some piping hot CelebriTEA. Plus, a huge star is making the move to The Hamptons—can you guess who? The ladies also dive into a delicious Taste of Long Island with North Fork Potato Chips. And with the looming threat of a TikTok ban, everyone’s wondering—what will we even do without it?!


    #TasteOfLongIsland

    A Long Island staple, North Fork Potato Chips are made from farm-fresh potatoes grown on the North Fork. Known for their crispy texture and bold flavors, these chips are a true taste of the region. You can find them, along with other local Long Island products, at the Long Island Welcome Center on the LIE between exits 51 and 52. It's the perfect spot to discover and support local artisans and producers!


    Voted #1 potato chip in a Newsday Taste Test in 2022. This recognition highlights their commitment to quality and their status as a local favorite. They’re a must-try for anyone seeking an authentic Long Island snack!

  • IT'S TIMEEEEE! The Queen says it's time and we couldn't agree more - this week the ladies catch up and discuss "slow shopping" as we approach the holiday season. Something else exciting to enjoy around the holidays is our Taste of Long Island by White Post Farms in Melville where you can enjoy a DELICIOUS treat from their market. We of course have some fabulous Long Island Life as well as exciting things to do This Weekend on the East End.

    Not only is it the 4 Year Anniversary of the Long Island Tea Podcast, it’s also the 35th Anniversary of Harbes Family Farm in Mattituck!


    We’re celebrating with some delicious seasonal apple cider donuts from their farmstand and some bubbly Blanc De Blancs from Harbes Vineyard - Using only estate Chardonnay grapes, this sparkling wine was produced using the traditional méthode champenoise. Absolutely delicious with wonderful pear aromas and small pearlescent bubbles this wine has a refined mouth feel and a refreshingly dry finish. Awarded gold at the 2022 New York Wine Classic.


    Take advantage of the farm for the rest of the fall season (private birthday party bookings available and for school field trips!) and enjoy 3 for $20 or even 5 for $30 Tastings at the vineyard! Learn more at harbesfamilyfarm.com *You can also find them on our mobile app!*
