What's the best part about being here? Uh Definitely the community. They are uh very, very sweet. They usually come in. We have a lot of regulars and they're usually very patient with us and they, we're usually super busy at like normally during the week on the weekends. And I would just say that the community is just overall, just very patient and loving and just, they always come back. There's no place like Jam. I mean, this is a hidden gem and right on Park Boulevard and this is some, a place where you see returning customers. You, you probably know some of their orders too. Oh my God. By heart. Everyone always raves about my memory. We have a lot of familiar faces that continue to come in and support us and even in our slower seasons, they will always still even get take out or they will usually like, sit in with us are due to go. So they're very, very supportive of us and they love Massapequa. They love Jam. They love Park Boulevard. There's a lot of local businesses here, but we, uh always get returning customers. What's the best part about being part of the local business right here on Park Boulevard? Uh I would just say just, I would say maybe the community, just the support, the love, the, uh you know, we've been here for 10 years, so it's just been ongoing with a lot of love and support and just the consistency of the love and support is what we probably appreciate the most.

It is main street Monday a day to highlight some of the island's best businesses. And today our Gens Lake is in Massapequa Park showing us what there is to see and do along Park Boulevard. We are ordering some lunch at the good life. And this is where Devin tells me that every hour is happy hour here. Right. That is true. Definitely. Um, we've got a huge, uh, craft beer list. If you're into that huge variety of stuff, we've got bottles and cans, the other bartenders and myself do a seasonal cocktail menu and our spring ones are out now and they're amazing. And I heard your food is amazing too. Food is so good. The burgers, the sandwiches, everybody comes in for the good life burger. I like the Mac attack Fried Mac and cheese on top. It's a great menu. And obviously you guys are doing something really good here because you're celebrating 14 years in business. That's right. People keep coming back. We have a really good time. The community is awesome. Our customers are great. Everyone, our staff. It's a great place. All right. So let's eat some lunch and then check out Park Boulevard. See what else it has to offer. There are plenty of places to go shopping here on Park Boulevard, including Nanny Rose boutique and then after shopping, let's go look for something sweet. Look at all the flavors of gelato. We have found the only spot on Park Boulevard where you can grab a bite of gelato. Alexa. What's the fan favorite? Rainbow Cookie has to be the top one we have shot, which is like a vanilla chip. Also a favorite. So we are in Dolcezza. You work here with your family. What's the best part about being part of this community? Well, all of us here. We're all family here. So, you know, all the families that come in, all the kids this summer, we're packed with all the different kids on the bikes and the parents come in. We're like a whole family here. So it's all nice. I'm assuming you get returning customers all the time, all the time. Familiar fleet faces all the time. Um, the kids come in and hang out and do homework if they want to, you know. So let's grab a bite, right? I'll try the Rainbow Cookie one because you said that's a fan favorite and send things back to you guys in.
