2017 Year In Review Letter from the
Publisher
of the ongoing battle against the opioid epidemic and a gang problem that’s built up in recent years. One of my passions is the charitable work that so many organizations do in helping the less fortunate. Among the notable efforts of 2017 was the $1.1 million Northwell Health and the Americana Manhasset raised at the 25th annual Katz Institute for Women’s Health Luncheon and Fashion Show, the Chateau Briand Caterers’ annual spring gala that supports academic programs for economically disadvantaged students at the De La Salle School and Old Westbury Gardens’ Children in Bloom luncheon that benefits children’s educational and environmental programs. And, as president of the Nassau County Museum of Art, I took particular pride in the opening of The Manes Family Art & Education Center, which was a building on the museum grounds that had been devastated by Hurricane Sandy and was renovated, thanks to a $1 million donation from Dr. Harvey Manes. The goal of the center is to allow the museum’s education department to greatly expand its arts education programs to the people of Long Island. Angela Susan Anton Publisher

Being a newspaper publisher means that I have a front-row seat for all the news that breaks in the communities we cover. As we near the end of 2017, there is plenty to look back on. Going into 2018, we’ll be witnessing the changing of the guard at the County Executive level as Laura Curran takes over from Ed Mangano. The Town of Hempstead also will see Laura Gillen become the first Democrat to ascend to the Supervisor position, while the Town of Oyster Bay saw Joseph Saladino go from interim Town Supervisor to winning the position outright during this past November’s election. Education is one of Nassau County’s best attributes and quite a bit happened on this front. The New York State Board of Regents approved PK-12 Science Learning Standards to ensure our students keep up with the science boom we’re currently experiencing. Also, Governor Andrew Cuomo launched the Excelsior Scholarship, a proposal that makes college tuition-free for New York’s middle class families at all SUNY and CUNY two- and four-year colleges. Law enforcement has also done an excellent job in keeping citizens safe, so much so that Nassau County experienced its lowest crime levels in 50 years. All this in the face

Down The Boulevard BY JENNIFER FAUCI
JFAUCI@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM
A
nton Media Group’s Boulevard magazine brought Long Islanders onto the Manhattan scene with a taste of fine dining, Broadway shows and music mania. Readers also tuned in to peruse popular televisions shows, high fashion and be envious of some serious wanderlust. Chazz Palminteri discussed his famous project, A Bronx Tale, which made the leap to Broadway in December 2016 and the much anticipated debut of Anastaisa hit the Great White Way with dazzling costumes, songs, dance and a journey to the past about the legendary Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna of Russia. Readers also learned about singer-songwriter Carole King’s life and why the story of Beautiful: The Carole King Musical still resonates with many theatergoers three years later. We also wandered Off Broadway with the smash hit musical Cagney, about everyone’s favorite toe-tapping gangster. Trips to Manhattan also highlighted the elite Explorer’s Club, which promotes the exploration of land, sea, air and space and the beloved bookstore; The Strand, featuring the rare book collection and coveted designer libraries and the creative satisfaction that came from the Rolling Stones exhibition. A plane ride away, the island of St. Lucia had readers running for their passports as we explored the Caribbean jewel at Sugar Beach, A Viceroy Resort.
Cyndi Lauper, Idina Menzel and Paul Shaffer sang to their own tunes, honing their chops in the studio and on Broadway while Food Network favorites Geoffrey Zakarian and Marcus Samuelsson invited Boulevard to the tables of their eateries, and Harlem’s Red Rooster is worth more than a reservation. Anne Rice, Curtis Granderson, Isaac Mizrahi and Misty Copeland left us starstruck, but also reminded us that they are truly down to earth people and humanitarians. Class was in session for the hit show Teachers, a punchy thought-provoking comedy about the lives of educators. And you better believe that Better Call Saul was given print space for its third season of screen time with Michael McKean and Bob Odenkirk. Championing our four leggedfriends, PRAI Cosmetics and Grateful Greyhounds shone light on the importance of animal welfare and our publisher Angela Susan Anton’s social diary was packed with charitable events, luncheons and galas, benefiting various organizations and raising money for those in need.

MUSIC ON THE ISLAND
All Musical Roads Lead To Long Island BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO
DGILDERUBIO@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM
L
ong Island has always resided in the shadow of New York City, particularly when it comes to where artists are going to perform when they come to our area. That said, there are plenty of musicians who go beyond Manhattan when picking touring destinations. Among the more unheralded venues is The Space at Westbury, which continues to up the ante in terms of the acts that have played at this converted theater that calls Post Avenue home. Among the performers who came around this year and stopped off in Westbury were The Mavericks, Ann Wilson of Heart, Pixies, The Flaming Lips, David Crosby and Lake Street Dive. Landmark on Main Street in Port Washington didn’t disappoint either, serving as a host for Mavis Staples, Aimee Mann, Joan Osborne and Graham Nash. Former Albertson resident and major league music promoter Mike Luba continued to add luster to Forest Hills Stadium, pulling together yet another top-notch slate of artists for the summer season that featured The xx, Chance the Rapper, My Morning Jacket, Sigur Ros, The Chainsmokers, Emmylou Harris, John Mellencamp, Gary Clark, Jr., The National, Hall & Oates, Tears for Fears and Tom Petty, who passed away two months later. Long Island Weekly also got a chance to chat with some local legends. Manhasset’s LL Cool J became the first rapper to be recognized with a Kennedy Center Honor. Meanwhile, storied songwriter Jimmy Webb (who calls Bayville home), not only released his autobiography The Cake and the Rain: A Memoir, but was honored with an all-star tribute at Carnegie Hall that featured the likes of the Fifth Dimension, Dwight Yoakam, Toby Keith, Hanson, Nash, Johnny Rivers and Ashley Campbell (daughter of Webb’s dear friend Glen Campbell). Proceeds from the show went to the Alzheimer’s Association and the I’ll Be Me Foundation, in honor of Campbell, who passed three months later.
Corporate sponsor NYCB maintained a high profile, continuing to have its name attached to the former Westbury Music Fair, where the famous rotating stage was where concert-goers got to catch Johnny Mathis, The Last Waltz at 40 (featuring Don Was, Jamey Johnson, Michael McDonald and Warren Haynes), the Brian Setzer Orchestra, Gretchen Wilson, Stephen Stills and Judy Collins. NYCB also had a hand in one of the biggest pieces of news: the renovation and relaunch of the New York Islanders’ old barn, which returned as NYCB Live: Home of the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum. Its new incarnation was kicked off by an opening-night show featuring Long Island native Billy Joel. The remainder of the year saw a number of high-profile acts gracing the Coliseum stage including Syosset’s own Idina Menzel, Metallica, Stevie Nicks, Def Leppard, Bruno Mars, Barbra Streisand, Barry Manilow, Roger Waters, Bob Dylan and legendary Beatles founding member Paul McCartney.

nton Media Group’s collection of feature stories from 2017 encompassed both largescale events and smaller moments of local pride. Early in April, Anton Media Group Publisher Angela Susan Anton was the keynote speaker at the Best of High School Journalism Awards at LIU Post. The event honored the future of journalism— embodied by dozens of ambitious high school students from across the island—with awards for their hard work, determination and passion for all that is media. Later that month, and after months of renovations costing $165 million, the Nassau Coliseum re-emerged as NYCB Live at the Nassau Veterans Memorial

Coliseum. Reinvented from the grand facade to the smallest interior detail, the arena was transformed and now stands as one of the most highly celebrated venues on the East Coast. The inaugural concert featured Billy Joel and subsequent shows saw Stevie Nicks, Idina Menzel and Paul McCartney take the stage in front of thousands of fans. Now if only the New York Islanders could find their way back to the Coliseum ice. When June rolled around, two important organizations on Long Island were thrust into the news, as Planned Parenthood hosted hundreds of supporters outside of its Hempstead location and the Mineola chapter of the American

Through The Year, Across The Island Red Cross celebrated its 100th anniversary. Held in response to President Donald Trump’s plan to defund Planned Parenthood through his new health plan—which subsequently failed—the rally highlighted the organization’s crucial role in women’s health, particularly on Long Island. Meanwhile, the Mineola Red Cross was hailed as the first chapter on Long Island, claiming a prime location on Willis Avenue while World War I was just underway. Across the rainbow connection into August, the Museum of the Moving Image in Astoria, Queens, officially opened its permanent exhibition celebrating the whimsical legacy of Jim Henson. The multimedia display, made possible by a collaboration with the Henson family, The Jim Henson Legacy and The Jim Henson Company, and in cooperation with Sesame Workshop and The Muppets Studio, features more than 300 objects on view including 47 puppets—Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, Rowlf, The Swedish Chef, Statler, Waldorf, Big
Cont’d from page 12A
Officials welcomed all of Long Island back to the Coliseum in April of this year. Bird, Elmo, even a Skeksis from The Dark Crystal—and more. But more than merely rows of puppets staring back at visitors, the exhibition tells Henson’s story—from experimental film producer, to restless creative performer, to filmmaker to technical innovator. And finally, with the return of autumn came Seward Johnson’s
marvelous sculptures on display at Old Westbury Gardens. Cast in bronze, the figures were scattered across the 200 acres of the Gardens, fitting perfectly into the landscape of the English country-style estate.

A Year In Review
D
ining on Long Island is always an embarrassment of riches, no matter what year it is, and 2017 was no different. The year began with the most important meal of the day—breakfast—and the most important breakfast item at any local deli or bodega—a bacon, egg and cheese on a roll. The search for the best BEC saw this food writer narrow down his list to four local favorites for various qualities—Adelphi Deli in Garden City, Mineola Park Deli, Village Heros in Syosset and Hanstedt Deli in Plainview. Adelphi had the creamiest egg yolk, Village Heros piled on the most bacon, Hanstedt boasted the gooiest cheese and Mineola Park provided the best bang for the buck—all deliver the essential BEC experience.

Great Neck Record Magazine chatted with one-time resident Helen Slater, better known as Supergirl, on how the role changed her life. Volunteering is at the forefront for Dr. Andrew Jacono, a board-certified plastic surgeon who takes his pro bono practices around the world.

New Year Brings Political Shifts BY BETSY ABRAHAM

T
he new year kicked off with the inauguration of Donald J. Trump as the 45th president of the United States, with Mike Pence as vice president. In his inaugural address, Trump promised to put “America first,” and bring back jobs, secure borders and restore America’s wealth. The weekend after the inauguration saw The Women’s March On Washington, which drew a crowd of more than 500,000 women, men and children to the nation’s capital to speak out on issues including equality, healthcare and immigration. In
addition to D.C., more than 600 sister marches (including one in New York City) took place across the world. On a local level, the ripple effects of last year’s indictments against County Executive Ed Mangano and Town of Oyster Bay Supervisor John Venditto continued on in 2017, with Venditto stepping down from the seat in January, amidst federal corruption charges. Succeeding the 19year supervisor was Joseph Saladino, who gave up his Assemblyman seat to take the helm of the Town of Oyster Bay. He won reelection in November. Also in November, the
federal Securities and Exchange Commission charged Venditto, as well as the town, with additional federal charges, including securities fraud. Mangano, who retained his seat as county executive but did not run again, faces charges of conspiracy to commit bribery, fraud and obstruction of justice, and will go to trial with Venditto in March. Corruption was the prevalent theme during the race for county executive. Election Day saw Councilwoman Laura Curran beating former state Senator Jack Martins 51-48, making history as Nassau

A Year In Review
A Year On Broadway BY KIMBERLY DIJKSTRA
2
KDIJKSTRA@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM
017 was an incredibly strong year for Broadway. Every musical, play and revival was different from the last and deserving of accolades. Long Island Weekly strives to review the most promising shows on Broadway to give our readers a taste of what to expect. One such show was Dear Evan Hansen, by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul. A relatable show with memorable music, Dear Evan Hansen has inspired a generation and will continue to remind audiences that there is always hope, even during dark times. Come From Away tells the true tale of Gander, Newfoundland’s role in the midst of a horrendous tragedy, and the profound generosity of its residents. Audiences walk away from this musical feeling embraced by the warmth of the characters portrayed.

Waitress (2016) remains a top show to see on the Great White Way. The musical based on Adrienne Shelly’s 2007 film follows a waitress who deals with her unhappy marriage in creative ways. LIW’s Betsy Abraham interviewed Betsy Katrina Lenk and Tony Wolfe when she took over Shalhoub in The Band’s Visit the title role in June. (Photo by Matthew Murphy) It’s hard to believe that Disney’s The Lion King has been on Broadway for 20 years. The show, featuring music by Elton John, lyrics by Tim Rice, a score by Hans Zimmer and actors in exquisite animal costumes is a timeless classic. Most recently, LIW reviewed The Band’s Visit, which gives audiences a snapshot of a day when an melodies and Middle Egyptian band got lost in Eastern rhythms, the Israel.

EDITORIAL@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM
side from the fact that we love attending and covering this exciting event, when the New York International Auto Show (NYIAS) opened at the Jacob Javits Convention Center on April 14, it became a part of history. In 1900, the NYIAS became North America’s first automotive exhibition. For more than 100 years, through the depression, war, oil crisis, recession and growth, it has continued its pioneering tradition of bringing new and innovative ideas to ANTON a national and world stage. In the last decade, Preview the auto show has boosted the number of new vehicle announcements, broken attendance figures and increased media attention. 1

Combined with the city’s energy and the fact that metro New York is one of the nation’s largest markets for new car and truck sales, the show is now one of the most important automotive events in the world. In addition to its place as one of the world’s greatest public shows, NYIAS has expanded its range of world-class trade and industry events. Today, nearly 100 individual events, conferences, industry forums, symposiums, award ceremonies, roundtables and parties take place during the show’s press preview week—in addition to the more than two dozen press conferences hosted by the automakers. No other event brings the business, consumer and lifestyle press, Wall Street’s financial community, the marketing and advertisers of Madison Avenue and the nation’s largest and most diverse metropolitan population together in such a unique way. The show offers virtually every make and model vehicle sold in the U.S. under one roof, giving consumers the unique opportunity to see everything the auto industry has to offer: from fuel-sipping economy cars to million-dollar supercars. This year’s special exhibits included: Camp Jeep, GT Spec, LI Dip and Customs, Premier Restorations, Safe Harbor West, Underground Motorsports and West Point Band. Check out the motorcycle features from Orange County Choppers, Chaos Cycle, GG Taurus USA, Harley-Davidson and Indian Larry of Brooklyn.

Features From The Field Sports stories through the year BY STEVE MOSCO SMOSCO@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM
A
nton Media Group’s sports features bounced from professional to amateur, with coverage of well-known idols and up-and-coming hopefuls. In April, just as the baseball season was getting underway, the New York Mets invited a handful of Anton team members to Citi Field to chat with outfielder Curtis Granderson. Aside from discussing the game on the field, Granderson spoke at length about his favorite New York memories as both a Met and a Yankee—this proved timely as he was traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers before the postseason. New Yorkers will always remember Granderson’s charitable efforts, affable nature and in-game prowess. Mcgregory Frederique continues his quest to achieve his sports dream.
In the world of amateur athletes, Mcgregory Frederique continues his quest for a chance to take the field for a professional football team. The Elmont native, who spoke to Anton Media in August, spent 2017 showcasing his football skills with the upstart Team America. In order to make it onto Team America, Frederique had to send in a highlight video and wait to be called. The team plays many of its games in front of scouts from the NFL, CFL and Indoor Football League, and Frederique sensed it was a golden opportunity to advance his career and land a professional contract. Despite competing with thousands of aspiring players, many of whom had more experience, Frederique was selected for the roster. In September, legendary New York broadcaster Sam Rosen shared some of his favorite sports memories with Anton. Having grown up a die-hard sports fan in Brooklyn, where he captained and played catcher for his baseball teams at Stuyvesant High School and City College of New York (CCNY), it’s no surprise Rosen’s favorite moments have a decidedly New York tilt. These include the New York Knicks’ championship in 1970, Wayne Gretzky’s final NHL game in 1999 and, of course, the New York Rangers victory over the New
Jersey Devils in the 1994 Eastern Conference Finals on the way to the team’s first Stanley Cup since 1940. Finally, Anton editor Joseph Catrone traveled to the Bronx to chat baseball with Yankees’ fan favorite and integral cog to the

successful teams of the late 1990s, Paul O’Neill. The ex-rightfielder has remained a fan and ambassador of the game and is currently a broadcaster with the YES Network, but for O’Neill, the greatest memories came when he was on the field, experiencing the roar of the crowd.
Paul O’Neill looked back on his career and forward to the Yankees’ future.

A Year Of Strides In Education BY BETSY ABRAHAM
BABRAHAM@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM
E
ducational opportunities for Long Islanders abounded this year, with one of the biggest stories coming in April with Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s unveiling of the Excelsior Scholarship, a proposal that made college tuition-free for New York’s middle class families at all SUNY and CUNY two- and four-year colleges. Calling a college education an “absolute necessity for any chance at economic mobility,” Cuomo worked with U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders to come up with the program, which opens doors of opportunity to thousands of full-time
students. The new program began in the fall of 2017 and will be phased in over three years, beginning for New Yorkers making up to $100,000 annually in the fall of 2017, increasing to $110,000 in 2018, and reaching $125,000 in 2019. Increasing opportunities was also the goal when Holy Cross High School, traditionally an all-boys Roman Catholic school, made the decision to open its doors to young women starting fall 2018. Eighteen of the 22 congregation of Holy Cross-sponsored secondary and post-secondary academic institutions in
the United States are now co-educational. The New York State Board of Regents also approved new P-12 Science Learning Standards to ensure that educators had flexibility in designing lessons that would stimulate interest, as well as make sure students would be well-prepared for the future. The new standards align with science education and cognitive research on how students learn science, allowing for three-dimensional learning. On the higher-education level, Hofstra University’s music department and its bachelor of science degree

CHILDREN ARE THE HEART OF THE SCHOOL Learning doesn’t have to be dull to be of value. It doesn’t have to be stressful to be outstanding. It does need to be relevant, engaging, joyful and challenging enough to bring learners to their own growing edges, wherever they may be. At Westbury Friends School, in addition to providing an intellectually challenging and engaging learning environment, the faculty takes a whole child approach that aims to inspire in each of their students a lifelong love of learning that goes beyond the acquisition of skills and information; students are taught to ask thoughtful questions in the spirit of curiosity, intellectual integrity and creativity.
They also learn to resolve conflicts peacefully through purposeful listening. Students explore and embrace cultural, religious, personal and economic diversity through studies of their local and global communities, and through the daily interactions with peers who are both similar and different from one another. Through active service learning experiences in their own communities and around the globe, students develop a sense of responsibility as stewards of the earth, and caring citizens of the world. Join us at our Open House on Saturday, January 20th at 10:30 AM to see what a Quaker education can offer your child and family!

Elegant Philanthropy In 2017 A year in charitable works across the Island BY STEVE MOSCO SMOSCO@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM
L
ong Island has always been a charitable place, with organizations helping out those in need with a variety of events and initiative. This past year was no different, as many groups gathered to assist residents from all walks of life. In May, Chateau Briand Caterers in Carle Place hosted the De La Salle School’s 15th annual spring gala meant to support academic programs for economically disadvantaged students at the De La Salle School in Freeport. The event honored Joan Hope MacNaughton, who has been involved as a volunteer and fundraiser at the school for many years and as chairman of the
school’s luncheon fundraisers, which have welcomed more than 300 guests. In July, Anton Media Group editors Joseph Catrone and Nicole Lockwood, took part in Over The Edge, in which people rappel down the side of the tower at Nassau Community College to raise money for its affiliated programs. The event was organized by the Empower, Assist, Care (EAC) Network, a Long Island and New York City-based social service academy. In October, Northwell Health and the Americana Manhasset raised a record total of more than $1.1 million for women’s health at the 25th annual Katz
Institute for Women’s Health Luncheon and Fashion Show featuring the Salvatore Ferragamo Fall 2017 Collection. Presented by the Partners Council for Women’s Health, co-anchor of Fox 5’s Good Day New York, Rosanna Scotto emceed the event, and supermodel Carol Alt, herself a patient at Katz, made a surprise appearance. Old Westbury Gardens hosted its eighth annual Children in Bloom luncheon in November to benefit children’s educational and environmental programs, as well as to honor Laureen Stanton Knutson, a philanthropist and longtime board member at the Gardens.

INTERNATIONAL WORD FIND
ARIES (March 21-April 19). In order to take on this week’s challenges, you’ll need two things: training and a willingness to learn. The responsibility for learning rests with you. But the responsibility for training rests with others. If they are not doing their job, then find better teachers. You will excel beyond your dreams with the right guidance.
Historic River Solution: 31 Letters
© 2017 Australian Word Games Dist. by Creators Syndicate Inc.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll be meeting people with whom you really vibe well. Exchange information so you can stay in touch. Even if it seems like there’s not a lot of reason for the relationship right now, later you’ll understand how these kind of easy, feel-good ties are important to your personal and professional progress. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The packaging of a thing shows the thought that went into it, the idea behind it and the intention of those presenting it. Packaging is important not just in physical packages, but in the way you put forth your ideas and general energy. This week, the packaging you’ll create around your offerings will be joyfully received. CANCER (June 22-July 22). While the conventional wisdom is to focus on one thing until it’s finished and then move on, your mind is so active this week that a singular focus will have negative effects. Branch out; include more influences; embrace a variety of options. A buoyant mood will sustain you, and you’ll accomplish much.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Life isn’t a math textbook. The lessons aren’t grouped by type. Living involves problems and opportunities that come at you unpredictably and out of sequence. Luckily, you’re extremely adept at discerning what type of problem you’re facing and applying the right solution. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Most people aren’t particularly comfortable with the sharing of raw emotions. The discomfort leads them to veer into safer conversational territory. For instance, talking about themselves. Avoid this tendency, and instead be brave enough to let people include you in their true feelings and you’ll be richly rewarded. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Oddly enough, noticing the weaknesses of others is a strength of yours. There’s nothing mean-spirited in this. Your aim isn’t to diminish anyone, but instead to build them up by seeing what needs work and focusing your energy on the fix. Diplomacy and loads of positive energy are necessary in this regard. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Most things can be simplified in a positive way this week, but there is a point at which the trend will take a turn toward the negative. Oversimplification of any process can render it ineffective. So go gingerly into your improvements, changing one small thing at a time. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The easiest time to alter your destiny is before you embark on it. Be aware of what you’re beginning. Ask questions. And before you open a door, pause to imagine what’s on the other side. Then open and look in, but don’t take a step until you’re sure this isn’t the type of door that locks behind you. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Plato suggested that there are three types of men: lovers of wisdom, lovers of honor and lovers of gain. Even if this is overly simple (and assuming by “men” he meant both sexes) you’ll find some truth in it this week. For successful dealings, figure out what the primary love is for each person involved. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). When you know what you’re giving to people you can make a clean exchange that you feel really good about. So get clear on what you have to offer and its value to the other person. Note that value is contextual. In other words, nothing has inherent value beyond the value it’s given by those involved.
THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS
If you had known all you were getting into, you might not have made the same choices. And yet you wouldn’t trade the experiences. That some of them were much more difficult than anticipated has only made you stronger than you thought you could be. So here you are with the empowered stance of one who is up for adventure. February features fresh faces. The money trickles in through March, and then it starts to pour. July trains you anew. Your family grows in September. COPYRIGHT 2017 CREATORS.COM

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You have loved ones who are supposed to know you well, but actually don’t have the first clue about what’s good for you. So the direction or outcome that’s right for you might not be what others are rooting for. It’s not their journey. As nice as it would be to be able to please everyone, you can’t.

Y
ou’ve seen them on television, on the red carpet, at book signings and all over social media. They are our favorite celebrities. Sterling K. Brown, Elliott Gould, Bobby Moynihan, John Larroquette, Lauren Graham, LL Cool J, Jacques Pépin, John Leguizamo, Bob Saget, Michael Symon and Clinton Kelly and many others made an appearance in our publications this year, and we couldn’t have been more honored to include them. Fresh off an Emmy-win for his work in the number one show on television, NBC’s This Is Us, Sterling K. Brown spoke with us about his spot on the hit show and his new movie Marshall. Elliott Gould, everyone’s favorite mensch, is back in primetime with the show 9JKL. Even Bobby Moynihan and John Larroquette chatted with us about teaming up on a show. Everyone’s favorite Gilmore Girl Lauren Graham came out with a new book and
was more than happy to talk about her recent return to Stars Hallow as well as the many upcoming projects she has on her plate. LL Cool J performed a duet, talking about some new music and how much fun he is having as the host of Lip Sync Battle. Everyone’s favorite television father, Bob Saget, came to the NYCB Theatre at Westbury for a night of comedy and proudly talked about his return to Netflix’s Fuller House as Danny Tanner. Robert DeNiro, Joe Pesci and Al Pacino even came to Mineola to film their latest movie for Netflix, The Irishman. In the kitchen, our favorite chefs shared delicious recipes with us and what it is about cooking that speaks to them. Michael Symon, Donatella Arpaia, Alex Guarnaschelli and the famed Jacques Pépin. We rubbed elbows with a lot of celebrities this year, and there’s a whole walk of fame to explore in the year to come.
