<p>This week on the Long Island Tea Podcast, Sharon and Stacy are fully embracing the spirit of Memorial Day Weekend and all the national celebrations happening across Long Island — from Memorial Day to National Wine Day, National Maritime Day, National Craft Distillery Day, and so much more! The ladies kick things off by recapping some exciting recent events they attended including the Latino Business Awards, downtown revitalization announcements, and other exciting happenings across the region. Plus, after patiently waiting, they’re finally cracking open their custom RGNY vintage to celebrate on-air! Between the laughs, local stories, summer energy, and one absolutely hysterical impression from Stacy that you truly do not want to miss, this episode perfectly captures everything we love about Long Island this time of year.</p><br><p>#ShowUsYourLongIslander</p><p>This week we’re spotlighting Chris R.
