Weather Alert  

ELEVATED RISK OF FIRE SPREAD Increasing northwest winds and drying low levels will create conditions more conducive for fire spread today into early this evening. Relative humidity is expected to decrease to near 25 to 30 percent this afternoon into early this evening, while wind gusts increase to 35 to 45 mph. An isolated gust to 50 mph will be possible. These conditions would likely aid fire spread if ignition occurs. Outdoor burning is strongly discouraged, and residents are urged to exercise caution if handling any potential ignition sources, such as machinery, cigarettes, or matches. The annual statewide burn ban is in effect until May 14. No burn permits are issued.

Two years after being forced to close their doors for business following a dispute with their landlord - after slinging sandwiches to local residents for 51 years - the owners of Village Heros announced on social media that the iconic Syosset eatery will be reopening at a brand-new location.
 
Originally established in 1972, Village Heros announced in February 2023 that that had “fought long and hard but our new landlords want us off the premises by the end of this month.” Reports indicate that the property was to become a parking lot for trucks.
 
However, hoagie fans were elated to hear earlier this week that Village Heros will be re-opening at a new location: 575 Underhill Boulevard in Syosset.
 
"Did you miss us?! We've missed you!! Village Heros of Syosset is coming back soon to a brand new location!" the restaurant stated on their Instagram page on February 10. "Stay tuned for more details on our grand opening! See you all soon!"
 
No date has been given yet for the establishment's grand opening.
