Long Island

Where to Order Takeout for the Perfect Long Island Beach Picnic

By: Ashley Rea

There's no better way to spend a summer day on Long Island than soaking up the sun at the beach. Whether you're heading to the South Shore, the North Fork, or out East, the only thing that can make a beach day even better is a delicious meal.

Instead of packing a cooler full of snacks, grab takeout from one of these Long Island restaurants before you hit the sand. From handheld favorites and fresh seafood to barbecue and Caribbean-inspired dishes, these spots serve food that's easy to transport, perfect for sharing, and made for dining outdoors.
