Pull Up a Chair at the Longest Table Before Seats Fill
Sea Cliff, NY · September 4, 2026
Pack a travel umbrella for midday errands, and keep in mind that Village Hall wraps up its seasonal Friday schedule with a 1:00 PM closing today.
The Lead
Neighbors looking to pull up a chair at this month’s village-wide dinner have only through Monday to grab a spot. The Love Your Neighbor Project’s annual "Longest Table" gathering returns on September 19 at Roslyn Park, stringing together hundreds of seats for an open-air, family-style meal. Beyond passing platters with longtime friends and new faces, this year’s setup introduces a playful musical chairs tournament alongside music and community storytelling.
Because dinner seating and meal preparation require an exact headcount for local caterers, organizers will close registration on September 7. Event proceeds directly fund the nonprofit's year-round emergency relief and assistance programs for families across the North Shore. Empty chairs rarely last through the holiday weekend, making today the ideal time to lock in your family’s setting.

Spotlight & Story
