And this morning, our main street Long Island series continues in Massapequa News 12 Jig is on Broadway Gourmet bagel shop, telling us everything that's happening inside the bagel store. Great place to be on a Monday morning. A bagel store, Jen. Oh for sure. I mean all Long Islanders love their bacon, egg and cheese. And if you live in this community, you know that this is the spot to get your breakfast good. We got muffins, we got bagels and they just opening up their doors. So they're still setting up right now. But with me, I have some people from the Chamber of Commerce. You ladies, Janice and Robin. And so that there too, the gentleman, what's the best part about having a place like this right in the community? Because you told me maybe like seven o'clock, this place is packed. This is a staple in Massapequa and everybody comes to Broadway Gourmet. It's a, it's a hot spot here. Um We have wonderful businesses here in Massapequa. We're, we're all about community. We're all about family. This place, everybody shops here, they're giving to the community, they give to our street fairs. This is local to the community. They have the best bagels, the biali egg sandwiches, they go boxes, they give, um, for our street fair, we have our bagels there that everybody in the community comes out and sees Michael. The worker here is going to come out and give us their specialties, their salads. Uh, Michael, come on and talk about. We only have 30 seconds left but we know you guys order salads, bagels just a little bit of everything. And Michael, I know you were busy this morning putting together a big order. Good morning. Good morning. What is the fan favorite here? Fan favorite has to be a Colonel's rival. It's a chicken cot melted American cheese less made on Russian dressing on a roll. Oh my gosh. Sounds so good. That sounds like a nice lunch meal too. But you could serve it breakfast too. Breakfast. French toast bites usually go for chocolate chip pancakes. Crazy bagels, which very berry bagels. Very special. It's a blueberry bagel with blueberry and strawberry cream cheese with chopped blueberries and strawberries on top. We got to try that all out. We're going to stick around here in Massapequa and send it back to you in the studio. Aaron Michael knows it all. Jen

I mean, who wouldn't want to do that with me? I have the owner Cher who's currently giving a facial right now. And Cher, you've had this business for almost four years now in Massapequa and the community is treating you really well. Yes, we absolutely love to be in mass. They're really, really tight. Um What's great is that whether we know a family or we don't know a family if something happens to them or like officer Diller or something happens, we all just kind of band together and just come as one. It's very prominent here. It's a very good thing to have in the community. I've seen that firsthand too. What do you offer here? It seems like a little bit of everything it is. It's a jumble. So we do things from Reiki healing and ear candling. We take the holistic approach to different types of facials and procedures, the Ayurvedic oil systems and such. We also do um deep cleansing facials, European facials and we offer free oncology, facials. So if you have cancer, we want you to feel a little pampered and not have to worry about paying for it. So you just give us a doctor's note that you're clear and we'll take care of you. That's so sweet. You basically like live here. I know you really treat this place like your home. You even built a Buddha garden right there. Your dad helped you. Yes, we absolutely love it. It's my Zen place. So um it was a very quick thing that we did, but it's one of my favorite spots. You could just come here and relax. I love that. We do workshops and we have events coming up. So readers and things like that. So definitely look us up. Sounds good.

It is Monday. That means we are headed off to show some of our local businesses with our main street, Long Island segment and it continues in Massapequa this morning, our Jen Selig is at the popular restaurant burger telling us all about what they have to offer. Jen. Hey, this is a place you're going to want to be on the weekends and celebrate any type of celebration or occasion. You have. They do awesome parties here too and they take their burgers, their shakes, their drinks all to the next level. And with me, I have Maria and John getting behind the bar, you guys have six locations, six locations, one in Manhattan and one also now in US Arena. Yes, we are the burger for the New York Islanders. So talk to me, John, what do we got here on the bar? So today we wanted to do a little bit of everything for you. So we have our famous crazy milkshakes. So this is our surprise party, milkshake and this is our Rainbow cookie. A rainbow cookie is a long time staple for us. And then we have a Mimosa Tower. We have our science flash cocktails. We have a patron bottle margarita. And then for food today we're doing our famous baked mac and cheese in the skillet. We're doing our new taco salad in a fried crispy tosta shell. We're doing, oh, party's over, I guess. No, it's not, not here. Then we're doing an order of our new nachos which have been a, a huge hit for us with some pickled red onions on there. And I wanted to show you kind of a spin on our burgers to show some of our versatility. So we are doing a fusion burger down on the end there. And that's actually a marinated burger, which I think is very unique. So we marinate the burger for about an hour and a half, two hours and then we do a really nice sear on it and we really try to capture a lot of Asian flavors and des uh there's an Asian slaw on there. We're kind of almost like a healthy version of potato chips on your burger. John, you're making me so hungry. That was my goal. Uh So you have really nice crunch on that burger, which is great. And it's served always with our hand cut fries. You know, you got a bunch of locations. We're in Massapequa, what makes Massapequa stand out? Uh the people. Uh It's a really different uh town than uh well, all the towns that we're in are very different. But the uh the, the people that come in are great. They're like our family. We have a ton of regular customers. We know everybody by name. It's uh been, it been about seven years here now. So uh it's the same people and as soon as you walk in, I may not be here too often, but it's as soon as you walk in, hey John, it's almost like cheers. It's great. Uh great crowd. I love that. So we have so much food here. So we all gotta eat this and then sorry Aaron, we're gonna send it back to you in the studio. Don't worry, Jen, you burned it. Go sit down and take a big old bite of that burger and a sip of the shake. Thanks so much.

On Mondays, we highlight our no, our local neighborhoods and its small businesses today. Our main street Long Island series continues in Massapequa and we stopped by a Zona for lunch. This is an Italian restaurant that's been a part of this neighborhood for 15 years. They offer panini salads and a variety of Italian dishes, including a fan favorite panel vaca, but for those who work there, they say the best part is being part of this area of this community and the people that dine with them, everyone is just like a great close family. We have regular people that come in every day and you all get so close and it's just an amazing place to live and work at. And we should mention that they also offer a number of gluten, free and vegetarian options.
