All summer long. We are heading to some of Long Island's greatest beaches this morning. We're highlighting Venetian shores in Lindenhurst and our JC is at the beach now talking about some of the live music that you can expect there this weekend. Hey, Jen. Hey, let's just fast forward to Sunday because this is when the band will be performing here at catch made up before I'm going to walk around and have you guys all say your names for me. My name is John. I'm Danny. Hey, I'm Constantine, I'm Chris. Awesome. And you guys are gonna be here on Sunday. This is a stage that you are fairly familiar with. You guys perform all across Long Island. You do weddings, private parties, you do a little bit of everything. People follow you. Yes, they do. Yeah, catch is a great place to play because you get a really a real diverse audience and this band is perfect for that. We got a repertoire that goes from the fifties all the way through today. It's gonna be a good time. So come on down, starts at five o'clock on Sunday. You guys are waking up early for us. So we really appreciate you all setting up. What's the best part about being here at Catch? You were telling me before that you just see all different generations come by. That's it. Yeah, you get, like I said, you get a diverse audience. Everybody comes down. They want to have a good time. And if you want to have a good time, cover land is the band for you. That's our job. And we come, we come to entertain and that's what we do. I love it. I love it. So I wanna step aside, I want you guys to do your own thing and we're gonna eventually send it back to the studio more to.

It is Thursday, which means we are headed to another great beach here on Long Island. This is one of my favorites. We're spending the day at Venetian Shores in Lindenhurst as part of our best beaches summer series. Our Jen Selig is at the restaurant. Now. Catch telling us about all the great food, the entertainment, the amazing view. I'm seeing a lot of good things on Instagram and social media about Catch Jen and another big event happening here tonight. We're talking about Christmas in July. Now we're a week away from August. But you see the gingerbread man, Santa Claus is coming later and I know it wasn't an Alex is forecast, but we're talking about snow happening here tonight with me. I have Catch yourself and I have and we're talking about a big Christmas party tonight. Oh, it's going to be great. It starts at six. We have a live band, um, snow. It's gonna be really fun. We have some drink specials. Everybody's gonna be dressed. Please come dressed. We would love for you to be decked out in some holiday garb. Um And we're really excited. We love when people come down. We love having like these small events and just showcasing some of the cool stuff we have here at. Catch some of the cool stuff right behind you. What are these drinks? So right here on our left, we have an Aperol Spritz. It's super refreshing and trust me, it is delicious. Then moving on to some of our frozen drinks. We have a mud slide and a rocket fuel, which is a fire island signature. but we make it here just as good. And you guys get regulars coming here at the bar, right? Oh, yes. Every single night we have a regular crowd and then we have new crowd coming in also. I mean, who can blame them? You got the views right behind us. What's the best part about having the restaurant? Right on the beach. Uh Probably the sunsets, the sunsets are epic here. You see one every single night. It's usually directly behind the stage, which is great because you're listening to an amazing live band every single night and then you see a beautiful pink sunset in the background. It's so much fun. I know we had cover land here earlier this morning and you guys have a bunch of bands that perform all weekend. You were saying yes, we have a huge band on Saturday, which is the Warp tour band. So it's going to be a big event. It usually gets super crowded. So you guys should definitely come down for that and that's my favorite part because I know when I come here I see all different age groups. So there's something for everybody. And, um, lots of families too. Like, I have four kids myself and I love being able to have them listen to the music, get some small things to eat and, you know, maybe have like a drink or two and it's, it's really fun for everybody. It's a good time. So hopefully people come down later on tonight and we're gonna hang out here throughout the morning and send it back to you guys in the studio. Yeah, sounds great. I'm gonna have a great weekend ahead as well. Thank you, Jen.

All summer long. We're heading to some of Long Island's greatest beaches. And this morning, we are highlighting Venetian shores in Lyndhurst. Our Jen Selig is at the beach. Now telling us everything we need to know about the spray park. It's a new spray park there, Jen. It certainly is a new spray park and it's beautiful and I know that kids pack this park during the day time because Tony Martinez told me that he's at the town of Babylon and like we were saying, this is brand new, brand new. We opened it on June 29. Uh It's, you know, people were waiting for it. It was closed last year. We had so many issues, but we were able to overcome those issues and now we have this place open, our residents. I know the kids are having a great time. Parents are having a great time bringing their kids here. I know Rich Hoffman uh posted a video of this place. Uh I think he was here too. Everybody loves it here. I know that. And you said there's a lot of water here. There's a lot of water. It requires a 30 30,000 gallon tank. A uh pump, 30 horsepower pump and it pumps 700 gallons per minute. That's a lot of water. Talk about a lot of water. And what's your best part when you come here and you see the little kids playing? That's my favorite part. You know, we know that uh that uh people like Long Island. Long Island is beautiful during the summer. There's no reason for you to go to the Caribbean or to Florida. This place is beautiful. So when I come here and I see all the families taking advantage of this uh of this uh venue makes me happy. It's a quick little walk from the swimming area right on the water to come right here and million dollar view, beautiful views here. So of course, we're gonna stick around here and maybe play back in the flash pad and send it back to you guys in the studio. You know, Jen, you have to tell Tony Rich has been talking about this splash park for quite some time. So he is definitely excited. It's finally open. Thanks so much.
