Howard, George, Eric (son) and I have opened a new business in Bohemia. Barn Find Antiquities LLC on Sunrise Highway, Bohemia. We are planning Cruise Nights on every other Friday eve begining
May 6 from 6PM til 9PM. The address is 4475 Sunrise Highway (north service road going west between Sycamore Ave. and Oakdale Bohemia Rd.) Watch for the large sign on the front of the building.
For a great cruise night please add Dogwood Avenue, Franklin Square it’s held in a small strip mall on the west side of the road opposite the West Hempstead Jewish Center. No burn outs or loud music. 6pm to 10pm (?) I have attended for the past 2 1/2 years and the cars and people are great you get a very wide variety of machinery - customs, stock, street rods - last week I went with my 1933 Chrysler convertible and a CCCA friend from near by had his 1932 Cadillac V16 town car there!
Islip Town Hall Cruse - is SATURDAY not SUNDAY! Saturday - Islip, Montauk Highway – next to (East of) Town Hall - from 5 to 9 P.M. East parking lot next to the Town Hall building, 655 Main St., Islip (next to the O-Co-Nee Diner).
