Emma Guevara Knows Oyster Bay

Emma Guevara emailed her answer to the Aug. 23 mystery picture in the Enterprise Pilot. “The picture is of the Easter egg hunt at Raynham Hall.” She is exactly right. The museum holds an annual Easter egg hunt for children in their Victorian Garden.

School is opening on Thursday, Aug. 30 this year, so we would like to wish Emma and all her fellow students a great year.

How Well Do You Know The Area? Do you know where this week’s picture was taken? If you do, call the Enterprise-Pilot at 747-8282 and let us know. If you have a picture that you think might be interesting for others to guess, drop it off in our box at Raynham Hall Museum, 20 East Main St., Oyster Bay. Billy Minicozzi called to identify the mystery picture as an Easter egg hunt. On a sports note he said when he called last week, “the NFL and referees are in negotiations for a new contract. The NFL is using replacement referees in the interim.”

Speaking of Bayville, where Billy Minicozzi lives, Jeanie Mansuetto of Coast Realty re-opened her business in a new location, opposite the firehouse, at 255 Bayville Avenue on Aug. 24 with a gala party. Congratulations Jeanie. She was a familiar face in Oyster Bay for many years when she had her office at what is now Appliance World.

We also received calls about the Aug. 16 mystery picture with more accurate locations. Jean Zaino said, “The photo was not of the Oyster Bay Marina, but Sagamore Yacht Club.”

She is correct. We were r-e-a-l-l-y stretching the location out to the marina.

Dorothy Titus of Locust Valley also called. She said about the picture, “It is taken from the clubhouse at the Sagamore Yacht Club, looking toward the water; and you can see the Dolan’s boat in the background. I recognize the people. We always have a good time when we go there.” Ms. Titus is a longtime member of the boating community in Oyster Bay.

We also received a call from “The Mystery Phantom,” who said, “The photo was taken at the Sagamore Corinthian Yacht Club.”

So there we have another more-or-less correct answer. We are still interested in another call about the gathering itself, at the Sagamore Yacht Club. Any takers?

Keep on guessing, it keeps you young — really!

Taste Of The Town

Thursday, 23 May 2013 00:00

The streets of Oyster Bay were full with enthusiastic supporters of the Oyster Bay High School PTSA, coming out in force to enjoy a Taste of the Town. This was the first annual Taste of the Town — Restaurant Stroll, and, judging by the crowds and the happy smiles in evidence all evening, it will be the first of many successful events.

This event, previously known as the Taste of the Gold Coast, had been held in catering facilities. This year, the committee felt strongly that they wanted to support the local restaurants and businesses that were impacted by Hurricane Sandy. The local restaurants and businesses are very generous to the community, whether to the PTSA, sports clubs or local nonprofits. The Chamber of Commerce enthusiastically supported the idea, and a wonderful concept came to life.

No Dolan Fireworks This Year

“There won’t be any fireworks on July 4,” said Caroline DuBois. She said letters have gone out to residents of Cove Neck from the Dolans telling everyone the news. Charles and Helen Dolan have celebrated their wedding anniversary with fireworks on the Fourth of July for many years. Having attended one of them was a great boon. It was a massive production and needed the cooperation of their neighbors, who were all invited to the party. We parked in an area along the road and with our invitation to show, we were picked up by a van and driven to the estate.

The entire beachfront was filled with tables and chairs. Food stations dotted the area. There was a carousel in the section where you first arrived. The food was served on china with real silverware: no paper plates and plastic forks. We sat with a basketball pro and his lovely family. When the party ended there were teddy bears for the children and stationery for the ladies. You knew you had been to a great party.
