National Cheese Pizza Day: A Slice of Life in Nassau County
National Cheese Pizza Day: A Slice of Life in Nassau County
September 5th is National Cheese Pizza Day, and if ever there was a holiday worth celebrating in Nassau County, this is it. Whether you fold it, eat it with a knife and fork (controversial, but we'll allow it), or just grab it straight out of the box on the hood of your car—cheese pizza is one of life's simple joys.
A Little History (Extra Cheese, Please)
The modern pizza as we know it—flatbread topped with tomato, mozzarella, and basil—was born in Naples, Italy in the late 1800s. It was a dish for the working class before it became an international obsession.

National Eat Outside Day: A Nassau County Celebration
National Eat Outside Day: A Nassau County Celebration
Every August 31st, we're given a guilt-free excuse to take our food, our friends, and our folding chairs outdoors—because it's National Eat Outside Day! And here in Nassau County, we have the perfect backdrop for it.
A Brief History of Dining al Fresco
Eating outside is hardly new. From medieval feasts in castle courtyards to Victorian-era picnics with parasols, people have always loved pairing fresh air with good food. The Italians even gave us a fancy name for it—al fresco—which just sounds classier than "let's grab the cooler."

Ever need an excuse to do something fun, silly, or unexpected? Today you've got one—because it's National Just Because Day (celebrated every August 27th)!

National Cherry Popsicle Day: Cooling Off in Nassau County Communities
August 26th is National Cherry Popsicle Day, and while it may sound like just another fun summer holiday, it's actually the perfect reminder of what makes living in Nassau County so special: simple joys, sweet traditions, and communities where neighbors come together.
A Cool Treat with a Sweet History?
Back in 1905, 11-year-old Frank Epperson accidentally invented the popsicle when he left a cup of soda powder, water, and a wooden stick outside overnight. By morning, it was frozen solid, and the "Epsicle" was born. Eventually rebranded as the "Popsicle," it became one of America's favorite summer treats. Cherry has always been a top flavor—bold, bright, and timeless.
