Gathering Time at Promenade Series

The Island Now

The Great Neck Plaza Business Improvement District (BID) and the Village of Great Neck Plaza continue the Summer Promenade Series on Thursday, July 7. 

Taking place on Bond Street from 6:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m., residents from Great Neck and neighboring communities are encouraged to attend and experience a variety of Great Neck’s fine dining options in a unique outdoor café environment while listening to the sounds of the regionally acclaimed band Gathering Time.

“Our summer promenades offer great entertainment and wonderful dining all under the stars,” said Ron Edelson, Great Neck Plaza BID Executive Director. “People come from surrounding areas to enjoy the evening and spend time with friends, family and neighbors.” 

Each participating restaurant including Bee-Organic, Era Asian Cuisine, La Rotonda Ristorante, Elaine’s Asian Bistro and the Great Neck Diner will be offering prix fixe menus or discounted dishes. 

Akbar the Caricaturist will be returning to offer promenade guests free caricatures on a first-come, first-served basis.

Gathering Time, voted best band runner-up and top folk band in the 2011 Long Island Press readers’ poll, performs traditional folk to classic rock. 

Known for their beautiful harmonies, band members include Hillary Foxsong, Stuart Markus and Gerry McKeveny. 

The head-turning folk-rock harmony trio’s album, Keepsake, reached #1 along with six songs in the top 25 on the folk DJ charts in March 2016.

The friendly atmosphere of Great Neck Plaza is the perfect setting to enjoy the area’s finest dining and shopping in the summer. 

All stores in Great Neck Plaza are within walking distance of the LIRR’s Great Neck train station, and the Plaza features more than 1,600 convenient parking spaces on-street and in municipal parking fields and garages.
