Long Island Weekend Events, January 22 & 23: Seal Walk, Whale's Wake, Three Little Pigs and More!
Ah, January: the month that makes me long for summer most. It’s tough to do a whole lot of outdoor activities with all of this residual snow and ice, so we went searching high and low for some great indoor events. Feeling like braving the elements? Well, maybe we’ve got an option for you, too!
