Suzanne Rosenwasser

Suzanne McLain Rosenwasser's local color essays have appeared in the NEW YORK TIMES, LI WOMAN and many other publications, earning both Long Island and New York Press Asscoaitons' awards. The author grew up in Manhasset, a New York town loved by all who shared its early decades during the expansion of LI's North Shore suburbs.  These are the stories of the Baby Boomers who roamed Manhasset's tree-lined streets and wrote their own legends upon them. They are the stories othe beach and brithrights of memory.

Read the history of the famed Patricia Murphy's Candlelight restaurants, including her recipe for the even more famous popovers.  Enjoy a trip down the old Miracle Mile; go again to the once vibrant Jones Beach #9, and walk home from school visiting the soda fountains of Plandome Road and Northern Boulevard.

MANHASSET STORIES was a LI WOMAN book pick for February 2012. It's been praised as " a charming trip down memory lane" and the work of "authentic writer" that will make readers smile while they remember.
