The 60 Seconds

Memorial Day weekend extended-edition. The unofficial start of summer hit, the East End wineries are in soft-open mode, and the South Shore beach scene is half-on (lifeguards in some lots, cold water in all of them). The Editors’ read: stay local Saturday for the small-village festival energy, head East Sunday for emptier vineyards before peak crowds land. Tanger Outlets Deer Park kicks off summer programming Saturday with food trucks and family events — free and central. Forecasts are warming through the weekend with a soft front Sunday evening.

The Editor’s Pick

Tanger Outlets Deer Park — Summer Kickoff Weekend — Tanger Outlets Deer Park’s Summer Kickoff Weekend is the easiest Long Island family Saturday. Free parking, free admission, a real central plaza with food trucks + kid activities, and the open-air shopping village format means everyone gets sun without anyone getting heat stroke. Best window: 10 AM – 1 PM before the lunch rush, then escape before peak heat. Park at the Long Island Ave entrance (north lot) — closer to the central plaza than the south lot.
