Today on the Tea, Kristen and Sharon are talking Valentine’s Day! With a box of beautiful hand painted chocolates from Disset Chocolate a bottle of Cab Franc from Pindar, and endless laughs, the ladies are celebrating the perfect Galentines day. They ask the question: What does “Don’t get me anything” REALLY mean? Plus later in the show, the ladies read your disaster date stories and share some of their own. Also we are hooking you up with Valentine’s events (listed below) last minute gifts, and cozy weekend getaways. https://www.discoverlongisland.com/blog

It’s also Black History Month, and on here Long Island, there are plenty of ways to celebrate, educate, elevate, and support black history and black-owned businesses on Long Island. (Events listed below) 

Plus the ladies share the story of an important Long Island civil rights pioneer: Hazel Nell Dukes. 

If you or someone you know has a Black-owned business that would benefit from a Discover Long Island partnership, learn about our Black Owned Business Grant program. visit discoverlongisland.com/diversity/blackownedgrants

We are also coming up on President’s Day, and Long Island is also rich in presidential history. Learn more on our blog and impress your friends with some of these facts: discoverlongisland.com/blog

As always the ladies close the show with some CelebriTEA, Pat Benetar coming to the Paramount, Ben Stiller to play the famous Long Island triplets who were separated at birth, and more.
