Kudos to the Town of North Hempstead for restoring the beautiful and romantic Gerry Pond Park!
Plan your perfect Long Island picnic at these scenic spots

DUCK POND PICNIC
THE SCENE
- Gerry Pond Park in Roslyn is arguably the Island’s most picturesque (and romantic) picnic rendezvous.
- The park’s emerald lawns, picturesque gazebo, historic monument and old mill (with adjacent patio picnic tables) surround a charming duck pond where waddling waterfowl inevitably go quacking by.
- It’s bordered by beautiful homes in the Main Street Historic District and the community’s Bryant Library. (northhempsteadny.gov)
PAIR IT WITH
Fresh pastry. Diane’s Bakery Cafe in the park neighborhood sells apple, triple berry and banana cream pies as well as tarts, squares and butter cookies fit for a picnic in the grass. (23 Bryant Ave. Roslyn, 516-621-2522, dianesroslyn.com)
Drink something cool on a warm afternoon. Consider an iced coffee (hazelnut, French vanilla or coffee crumb) from Delicacies Gourmet Delicatessen, also located near the park. (1354 Old Northern Blvd., Roslyn, 516-484-7338, delicaciesdeli.com)
