We are pleased to present our annual Living In Franklin Square and Elmont, a special supplement to the Franklin Square/Elmont Herald. Not only does this guide include vital information about Franklin Square and Elmont, but it also gives you a look at what’s representative of the best of both communities.
Think of Living In Franklin Square and Elmont as an “owner’s manual” for newcomers and longtime residents alike. As you’ll see in these pages, there’s an amazingly rich social fabric here.
Those of us who live here know both Franklin Square and Elmont are neighborhoods with rich histories and unique “hidden gems,” which are an integral part of what makes them such wonderful places to live, work, shop, and play.
I’m particularly excited for this year’s supplement, as we focus on some of what we’ve identified as hidden gems in the community. In these pages, you will read about some places and people ripe for discovery by Franklin Square and Elmont’s newest residents, and worth exploring for folks who’ve lived in the area for some time.
The Elmont Memorial Library Theater, a true community jewel, is such a place. When you look for exciting Broadway-quality entertainment, you’ll find it right here in Elmont. The library’s theater offers music and performances that span decades and genres of talent.
From local musicians like Michelle Fabre to wood craftsman Joe Mangiapanello, there are gems throughout our neighborhoods the residents, their spirit and their businesses.
Living In Franklin Square and Elmont is published in cooperation with the Franklin Square Chamber of Commerce and the Elmont Chamber of Commerce. We are honored to mark another year as these Chambers’ official publication.
We hope that you find this edition useful and informative, and that you enjoy reading the Franklin Square/Elmont Herald 52 weeks per year.

a message from the franklin square Chamber president
As the newly electedpresident of the Franklin Square Chamber of Commerce, I am deeply honored to take on this role at such an important moment for our community. My connection to Franklin Square is not only as a local business owner, but as a resident who, along with my wife Jill, has proudly called this town home for the past 17 years. Our two children, Marco and Viviana, are growing up in the heart of this community, and it is their future — and the future of every family here — that fuels my passion for making Franklin Square a thriving hub of opportunity.

Our Annual Spring Fair, held at Rath Park, is just one of the many great events we host.

Stepping into this role comes with a profound sense of responsibility. I see this as more than a position of leadership; it’s a call to action for all of us to unite in building a stronger, more prosperous Franklin Square. Our mission is ambitious: to transform this town into the standout gem of Nassau County. With collaboration, innovation, and hard work, I know we can create an environment where businesses flourish and residents take pride in their community.
Together, along with our community leaders and elected officials, we will explore initiatives like the Main Street Revitalization Program, which seeks to breathe new life into our town’s business district. Imagine beautifully landscaped streets, pedestrian-friendly walkways, and upgraded storefronts that reflect the pride we all feel for Franklin Square. These changes will not only attract new

Elmont Library Theater provides a
vibrant hub for arts in the community
By Nicole Wagner
In the heart of Elmont, a cultural renaissance unfolds nearly every weekend at the Elmont Library Theater. Since its inception in 2006, this hidden gem has become a bustling epicenter of entertainment, inviting neighbors to dance, sing and tap their feet to a diverse array of performances.
The Elmont Library Theater emerged from the remnants of the Alva T. Stanforth Junior High School theater, formerly seen as a community eyesore. A 2004 referendum paved the way for the Elmont Memorial Library’s construction, and with it, the transformation of the old theater into a beacon of arts and culture. Boasting more than 400 seats, the theater provides ample space for a wide range of performances, from jazz and cabaret to holiday shows and beyond.
“We have the space,” Library Director Jean Simpson explains. “It was created with the intention of bringing arts, music and
We have the space,” Library Director Jean Simpson explains. “It was created with the intention of bringing arts, music and entertainment into the library, which makes it quite unique.

entertainment into the library, which makes it quite unique.”
The theater has become a vibrant showcase for local and traveling talent alike. Simpson notes that each year, performances grow “bigger and better,” with professional artists sometimes journeying from across state lines to grace the stage. The library staff is attentive to patron requests, often working to bring in local artists seen elsewhere at shows throughout the Town of Hempstead, ensuring a dynamic and engaging schedule.
Simpson frequently finds herself “beaming” with pride as patrons approach her, praising the enriching experiences provided by the library. “It’s the nicest thing to hear that we’re bringing something to our patrons that is really needed,” she says, underscoring the theater’s role in the community.
Its appeal stretches across Long Island, with attendees traveling from various towns to enjoy the shows. The local community, in particular, appreciates having such a cultural treasure right in their backyard.
“The Elmont community is so lucky to have this,” Simpson declares.
Each performance is reflective the tunes of decades past. Plaza Theatmont and surrounding areas, including
Each performance is reflective of the diverse talent showcased. It’s common to see enthusiastic audiences dancing in the aisles or reminiscing to the tunes of decades past. Plaza Theatrical, the popular local theater orgnization uses the theater as its home base, contributes to the space's vibrancy with a variety of shows, including musicals, tribute concerts and children’s programs throughout the year.
The theater also plays a significant role in the lives of students from Elmont and surrounding areas, including East Franklin Square, Stewart Manor, Alden Manor, South Floral Park, North Valley Stream and New Hyde Park. The library hosts sixth-grade graduations, mock trial debates and other educational events, further embedding itself

“I’m so pleased that we’re able to continue this wonderful partnership with the community and offer such a nice, free service to the public,” Simpson says. Her sentiment captures the essence of the Elmont Library Theater — a cherished cultural haven that continues to thrive and enrich the lives of its patrons.

Joe’s WooDen
Creations capture the attention of connoisseurs
By Nicole Wagner
DIf you can make this, you can make more things like this and sell them.' And with that, Joe’s Wooden Creations was born.
uring the tumultuous lockdown of 2020, when the world slowed to a crawl, many people sought solace in new hobbies. For Franklin Square's Joe Mangiapanello, this period of isolation sparked a newfound passion for woodworking — a hobby that has since blossomed into a thriving small business, all from the comfort of his backyard.
Joe Mangiapanello had his passion for wood working reignited in 2020 during lockdown as he began making household furniture.
Before the pandemic, Mangiapanello was a self-described “closet woodworker,” nurturing a lifelong love for crafting with his hands. It wasn't until 2020, however, that he turned this passion into action, starting with furniture projects for his own home. His journey began with a simple den table, but it wasn’t long before he was hooked on the craft. Adirondack
chairs, benches and various wooden tables soon followed, each piece a testament to his growing skill and enthusiasm.
The turning point came when his daughter requested a chevron-style cutting board.
“After days of tearing my hair out trying to get the angles right, I finally figured it out,” Mangiapanello recalls.
The cutting board was a hit, and his daughter’s encouragement led him to consider a broader audience.
“She said,‘If you can make this, you can make more things like this and sell them.’” And with that, Joe’s Wooden Creations was born.
In July 2023, Mangiapanello showcased his work at a craft fair in Franklin Square. His range of cutting boards sold out quickly, and the success was replicated at subsequent fairs in Long Beach, Bellmore, Plainview, Wantagh and beyond. His handcrafted items quickly captured the attention of a market eager for unique, artisanal products.
Mangiapanello attributes his success to the surge in home-based hobbies and remote work that began during the pandemic.“People are gravitating towards this because it’s a unique thing,” he says, noting that his products resonate with those looking to invest in their homes.
Mangiapanello has been busy preparing for fall and winter craft fairs, confident that his timing is ideal.
“People are really into stuff that’s handmade,” he says.
His creations include cutting boards, charcuterie boards, challah boards, coasters, bookmarks, keychains and more, crafted from woods such as sapelli, padauk, black walnut, maple, cherry and acacia. Prices range from $3 to $90, depending on the item and the type of wood used. Custom engraving is also available through his website, JoesWoodenCreations.com.
Sustainability is a key consideration for Mangiapanello. He sources wood from conscientious suppliers, including a sawmill in upstate Gent, New York, which plants a tree for every tree harvested.
For those interested in starting their own woodworking journey, Mangiapanello advises, “start small.” He suggests learning the basics of cutting wood and understanding different wood properties. Resources like TheWoodWhisperer.com and conversations with experienced carpenters can provide valuable insights.
“You do not need every tool,” he adds.“Just begin with the basics and build from there.”
When browsing local craft fairs, keep an eye out for Joe Mangiapanello’s chopping boards and cheese cutters.

Franklin Square and Munson Fire Department
celebrates a century of community service
By Nicole Wagner
For a century, the Franklin Square and Munson Fire Department has stood as a steadfast guardian of safety in the community. As it celebrates its 100th anniversary, the department’s unwavering commitment to protecting local residents remains as strong as ever. Department Chief Mike Multari and Commissioner Chris Howard are the first to acknowledge the crucial role of community support in their storied legacy.
“There’s always been someone here for the last 100 years to respond to emergencies in the community,” Multari reflects.
This milestone highlights the department’s deep-rooted connection with those it serves. With a dedicated team of 90 volunteer firefighters, the department relies on the selfless contributions of individuals who prioritize community welfare above all else.
The role of a volunteer firefighter is demanding and requires significant sacrifice. Many of the department’s members juggle multiple jobs while committing to their life-saving roles. Multari himself exemplifies this dedication, once having to leave a family birthday celebration to answer a fire call.
Community support is everything,” Multari says.
“Without it, we can’t do the job that we do.
Tim Baker/Herald
“He gets up from his family dinner and goes to help other people,” Howard says.“That’s a testament to what we do around here and to Mike’s dedication.”
The department’s reliance on volunteer firefighters underscores the importance of community involvement.
“Community support is everything,” Multari says.“Without it, we can’t do the job that we do.”
To carry on this vital work, the department continuously seeks new volunteers. In addition to the intrinsic rewards of serving the community, volunteers benefit from local tax incentives and educational perks. Students enrolled in Nassau County Community College or State University of New York institutions who volunteer can obtain tuition reimbursement, adding a tangible benefit to their altruistic efforts.
Despite these incentives, Multari stresses that the role isn’t for everyone. “It takes a special kind of person,” he explains.“When that bell goes off, you have to drop everything and respond.” This unique blend of readiness

and resilience is what defines the spirit of the Franklin Square and Munson Fire Department.
For those inspired by the department’s legacy and interested in joining their ranks, more information is available at FSMFD. org. Prospective volunteers must be between 18 and 55 years old, reside within the Franklin Square and Munson Fire District, and pass a physical exam.
As the Franklin Square and Munson Fire Department looks forward to the next century of service, the community’s support and the dedication of its volunteers will undoubtedly continue to be the bedrock of its success.
Firefighters David Fitzgerald and James Carlin are always ready to answer the call.

From basement dreams to
stage lIghts
By Nicole Wagner
In a world where career paths often meander and evolve, Michelle Fabrizio, of Franklin Square, discovered her calling when she was just 4-years-old. Unlike many who grapple with career indecision, Michelle’s path to becoming a singer was clear from the start — her childhood was steeped in music, thanks to her father, Terry Fabrizio, who crafted his own musical haven in their basement.
Terry Fabrizio founded his studio Trezi Music Productions in 1989, transforming their basement into a busy music studio. Over the decades, he has recorded jingles for a variety of local clients, from car dealerships to the Long Island Aquarium, and even worked on an Eskimo Pie commercial featuring a young Michelle. His early foray into music was marked by analog tape; Terry acknowledges how digital recording has since reshaped the industry.
“The introduction of digital recording was revolutionary,” Terry says.“You can now revisit and revise work months later, something we couldn’t do in the early days.”
Terry's own musical journey began when he was 15-years-
I think the performing aspect and seeing how the audience reacts to my songs is really fulfilling,” Michelle says. “I think it’s really reignited my passion for it.

old with a guitar in hand. His passion for music naturally flowed to Michelle, who now boasts a dedicated following of 1,118 monthly listeners on Spotify. Her 2020 album,“Find Your Fire,” captured the attention of her fans and showcases her evolving artistry.
By November 2023, Michelle’s musical ambitions had taken a dynamic turn. She began performing with a fivepiece band, a new chapter that added layers to her artistry. Her bandmates — Maria Despina of Oyster Bay on bass, Ivan Ivin of Ukraine on guitar, Myles Branble of Hempstead on drums, and her father Terry also on guitar — were all found through BandMix.com. These eclectic talents bring a unique synergy to her performances.
“The performing aspect and seeing how the audience reacts to my songs is really fulfilling,” Michelle says.“I think it’s really reignited my passion for it.”
Michelle notes that performing live offers a distinct form of communication.
"It’s just a different way of communicating those lyrics to them. And it makes the audience understand them in a different way as compared to in the studio.”
For fans eager to experience her latest work, Michelle’s newest single — a cover of Shawn Mendes’“Mutual” — is available on both Spotify and Apple Music. As she continues to carve her niche in the music industry, Michelle Fabrizio’s journey from a basement studio to the spotlight serves as an inspiring testament to following one’s passion, no matter how early it begins.

Giving Birth? Look No Further than the South Shore’s Only High Performing Hospital for Maternity Care
Mothers looking for a hospital at which to give birth should consider the quality indicators used by U.S. News & World Report ® to determine institutions deemed High Performing for Maternity care.
Mount Sinai South Nassau is the only South Shore hospital to earn the rating of High Performing based on eight key measures:
• Reduced C-section delivery rates
• Low early elective delivery rates
• Low overall unexpected newborn complication rates
• Increased routine VBAC rates
• Increased exclusive human milk feeding rates
• Low episiotomy rates
• Routine birthing-friendly practices
• Transparency on racial/ethnic disparities
If you want the best birthing experience for you and for your baby, look no further than Mount Sinai South Nassau.
Learn more at southnassau.org/maternity, or call 877-SOUTH-NASSAU.
