A TV star has given a longtime Long Island waitress a special retirement gift.
Cooking show host Rachel Ray honored Hicksville's Sylvia Smith with a Caribbean cruise.
The 86-year-old just retired from waitressing at the Plainview Diner after 43 years.
In a segment taped to air today, Ray calls Smith "my kind of rock star."
Smith says after her cruise, she wants to work with veterans or kids.
