I did happen to see Royal Pains filming this past Monday and figured the City should be getting some revenue in filming permits like NYC does. We do! I spoke with Mr. Tepper, Director of Communications at……. Read more »
This was that short-lived Everything Delicious (44 W. park Ave. Long Beach, NY) location. The place has been vacant since October, but then we learned via the LB Patch in February that a Joe Brand, the former commissioner of Long Beach Recreation was opening up a deli. Here we are several months later and we have a new sign! And just in time for the busy summer season too.
