Don't you just love a good road race? Whether you're a casual or serious runner, running a race is a great way to get outside, spend time with other runners, and fit more physical activity into your day. The Long Island area is home to many awesome races, from 5Ks to half marathons. Here are a few upcoming races our real estate agents advise you to consider.

Dogs do so much for us humans. Some do police work, others go on rescue missions, and many simply greet us at the door with snuggles and kisses. On August 26th, we all have an opportunity to celebrate our dogs and show appreciation for their kind, loving personalities. National Dog Day was founded in 2004 to promote dogs and draw attention to those needing adoption from shelters. Luckily, Long Island has plenty of dog-friendly places where you can celebrate. Here are a few top places our real estate agents recommend.

August 19th is World Photography Day when we pay tribute to the art form of photography. What better way to celebrate than by snapping a few photos yourself? Luckily, Long Island is a very photogenic place. Whether you're looking for photos to hang on a wall or fill your Instagram page, these are some of our real estate agents' favorite places to take pictures on Long Island.
