LONG ISLAND'S HIDDEN HISTORY - EPISODE 5 

And then heading over to Zorn’s in Bethpage for some incredible “to-go” food for a feast back at your home!! If you’re not feeling it for chicken and ribs, then just jump on the Seaford-Oyster Bay Expressway Southbound until it ends at Merrick Road ( Montauk Highway for our Suffolk County neighbors) and head East into Massapequa. Right after the light for Hicksville Road, the place on your right is (after the ice cream shop on the corner) the legendary “All American”. Park anywhere you can find a spot, and then head over to the lines of people who are there for the same thing that you are there for. Just order 2 “Double-Doubles”, a Large Fries, and a Shake (either chocolate or vanilla). Take that bag of hot food back to your car and enjoy the rest. If you know….. know

I do know that the people who are AA fans will say that the Quarter-pounder with cheese is the way to go. And do you know what I will say to them??? Whatever you order there, you cannot go wrong. The knishes are extraordinary, and are not like anything else that you can order at a fast food place. They have hot dogs and grilled cheese sandwiches, but as a 50 year customer who has loved every single visit to All American, I would recommend that you stick with a choice of burger (1/4 lbs w/cheese or double doubles), and for the complimentary starch, the fries are hands down best I’ve ever eaten. Every single day they have a worker or five manually slice up a ton of fresh potatoes that are the ones that you will eat not so long after if you’re going to order. They have a big shredder , and just place a fresh potato in the correct zone and then they pull a lever down and create a bunch of fries. The place is not really appealing as you drive up and attempt to make your way through the crowd and get any food

When was that? I lived there in the 60s.

@@MuzixMaker Early 70s?? Between Dare Rd and Bicycle path

@@Fran11784 surprised I didn’t know of it. I lived near Newfield until about 1973.

That would be a fun tie in. The Cradle of Aviation museum shows how the crazy network of track brought soldiers to airfields and training facilities.

That like saying "Hempstead is technically still part of Long Island even though it's in Nassau/Suffolk"

Your comment mentions Mattituck Airport, which I think is still operating.

@@Cinclow20 Yes, Mattituck Airport is still in operation. Sadly, Teledyne Mattituck Services closed up shop a few years ago. For decades, they were the premier engine overhaul facility for general aviation.

Probably because this series is referring to "Long Island " as is commonly thought of,Nassau and Suffolk Counties.

Doubt it would happen. They got the town to let them use the runways to hold a weekend of races in June. If that goes well who knows, but tons of NIMBYs for sure will try and ruin it

I grew up in Wading River. Its wild to see someone type it on the internet. :)

3) Mattituck Airport Known WORLDWIDE For It's Engine Rebuilding By The Late Owner Parker Wickham

Do you have pictures/evidence? I spoke with the owner of the marina right next to it and he said it’s all gone

@@ChristianBarba on google maps from satellite at (40.8353189, -73.7109993) you can see where the original ramp is and the logs left behind that paved the ramp. Can see how the grading is unnatural
