Pulled pork, Brisket, and hot links
I know what brisket is ( a Jewish beef meal??) , but I have never heard of those other two .

Pulled pork is good. I thought that was known for being in the south though. Nothing BBQ is well-known in the north.

Long Island potatoes, Long Island ducks and Long Island wines come to mind.
Suffolk County is number 1 in gross agricultural receipts among the current 62 counties in New York State.

I agree with Walter on the LI duckling (there's a reason the Big Duck was originally constructed, LOL!), potatoes, and in recent years wineries.
There were many times during the 1960s and 1970s that we'd see "Long Island Duckling" on the menu of an out-of-state restaurant!
I can't believe nobody mentioned "Long Island Iced Tea"!  It originated at the Oak Beach Inn. The usual recipe is equal parts of vodka, gin, tequila, rum, Triple Sec and sweet-and-sour mix to which is added either actual iced tea or some type of cola. I'm sure every bartender adds his or her own little tweaks to the basic recipe though, maybe substituting lemon and sugar for the S&S mix, etc. |

I've never heard any story other than it coming from the original Oak Beach Inn.
Even the Long Island Iced Tea Wikipedia page references the OBI! The Speonk version sounds like a little east end sea shanty to me  |
