Hello Nassau! Let’s Talk What’s New & What’s Next
It’s Wednesday — and we’re halfway to the weekend with fresh updates, local flavor, and plenty to explore around Nassau County. From Persian kitchens and Asian fusion spots to new homes in Roslyn and free beach tours, here’s what’s new, delicious, and worth checking out.

🌟 Fun Fact Spotlight: Nassau Sand Built NYC

In the early 1900s, the Cow Neck Peninsula in Nassau County quietly shaped the future of New York City — literally. The region’s Port Washington sand mines supplied about 90% of the concrete used to build Manhattan’s skyscrapers, tunnels, and sidewalks. Over 100 million tons of sand were shipped out, helping create landmarks from the Empire State Building to the FDR Drive.

So next time you're in Port Washington, remember: you’re standing on the foundation of NYC.

Say Goodbye to Boring Coffee

Like many, my mornings started with bland grocery store coffee. Then Trade changed everything by connecting me with a curated selection of roasts perfectly matched to my tastes, crafted by passionate small-batch roasters. I took a quick quiz, and now I enjoy unique, freshly roasted coffees delivered straight to my door. Not only do they taste better than what I was buying before, but supporting local artisans makes me feel great about the money I’m spending on coffee each week. Plus, Trade is offering 516 Update readers an exclusive 50% off your first month subscription when you sign up today. Trust us, you deserve the upgrade. Our only regret—not finding them sooner!
