With 388 apartments and over 80,000 square feet of retail and office space built, Station Yards in Ronkonkoma is getting set to celebrate.
And everyone is invited.
Local restaurants and future Station Yards tenants, which include Tap Room, Toast Coffee + Kitchen, Lucharitos and Great South Bay Brewery, to name a few, will be descending on the regionally transformative mixed-use complex to hand out food and drink to attendees from 4 to 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 22.
It’s called the Sample and Support event, aimed at addressing food insecurity on Long Island. Tickets are $30 to graze all evening. All proceeds go to Long Island Cares and The INN. Click here to purchase tickets now.
In addition to the food and drink samples, attendees can take the opportunity to shop and support small businesses at the local vendor market, featuring, among others, Tini Rae Boutique, The Pot City, Roaming Romance Bookshop, Art by Michelle Marie, Cottontail Breads, Perry’s Florist, Loide Candle Co., and Barna Bee Honey.
Long Island Music and Entertainment Hall of Fame inductee Randy Jackson of Zebra will also be performing.
“We envision this as an affordable way for families to join in the fun while contributing to a great cause,” said Chris Kelly, Tritec’s marketing director. “Attendees will also have the opportunity to tour the current phase of apartments at Station Yards, allowing guests to get a first-hand look at the new living spaces in this vibrant community.”
