An institution on the East End of #LongIsland … Cliff’s Elbow Room. Serving classics since 1953. Our server today has worked there for 53 years! Eat local and let’s keep places like this around for another half century and beyond. 🇺🇸

Kicking off #NationalBobbleheadDay bright and early. Here’s No. 10 of my personal favorite #bobbleheads : the Bartolo Colon home run piece that has a bobble BELLY! Most of my top 10 have personal meaning, but this is just creatively amazing and I ❤️ the #Mets .

All these @91Tavares and #Isles tweets literally have my stomach in a knot. If he stays, great. If he goes, thanks for the years and time to move on. Sadly, I’m used to having my expectations not met at all as a fan of the Mets and Islanders. Here’s hoping for good news ...

My son wore my #Isles jersey from 1993 tonight at practice and I think it’s the greatest thing ever. Yes, that’s 77 for Pierre Turgeon. 🏒

Grateful for the moments we had. For the laughs. For hearing and feeling his passion about Italian-American culture and baseball. Blessed to have been in the same room as an immortal icon let alone work with him on projects. Tommy #Lasorda is the true 🐐. 🙏🏻 🇮🇹 🇺🇸 ⚾️
