Lindenhurst Village Mayor Michael Lavorata explained the benefits of the tour at the news conference.
“This is an especially timely event which will help to showcase some of our new and local establishments. The suggestion to use the LIRR to travel between localities without the need to drive naturally reduces the potential of DWI. It is a safe and enjoyable way to visit your favorite local breweries, restaurants, and pubs.”
