Long Island Calling

Before I met wifey, I would have never have known or heard of this charming restaurant over in Rockville Center, which is not to be confused with the famed REM song “Don’t Go Back to Rockville” which is about the town in Maryland. The specialty at International Delight Cafe is their delicious and large selection of gelato and sorbets, but this not merely a dessert joint. They also serve a variety of delicious sandwiches and dinner specials, including a tasty roast beef sandwich served on garlic bread…mmm…Heads up: if you hate kids, then I would not recommend this place because they are drawn to it like flies to shit. Also bring cash, since they do not accept credit cards, not even a Nieman Marcus card.

And I once got busy in a Burger King bathroom!

Seriously, this ain’t just a shout out to one of the best hip-hop songs EVER…I really do have to introduce myself. I realized with the first blog entry yesterday, I didn’t really say much about myself. I mentioned the various Manhattan hoods that I lived in, but that was about it.

My name is Scott Rosenblum. I recently turned 32 years old and a mere 2 1/2 months ago, I married the love of my life, Sue Hodara, a beautiful, wonderful playwright. You can find out more about her and her work at her Web site - www.suehodara.com and her blog Sue’s News. Everyday she does or says something that that blows my mind, which is really cool. Also, anyone who can put up with my shit on daily basis is worth a shout out on this blog. Love ya baby!

Career wise, I am public relations professional, which frankly makes writing this blog mildly ironic for the fact that part of my job these days is researching and reaching out to bloggers on daily basis. As for the firm I work with, for the moment it will remain nameless, only for the fact that 1) I don’t know how my boss will feel about me writing a blog, 2) I’m unsure if I am ready for them to know about my ramblings here and 3) and so far, this is not a blog about about PR or about work.

Other than that, I graduated from Syracuse University, and I am am huge college basketball fan, particularly SU and Big East B-Ball. As the season progresses, I will likely lapse into moments where this will blog will turn completely orange and blue. You’ve been warned!

I leave you with two things (seriously, who am I talking to? Does anyone know this blog exists yet?) . Today Sue and I ate brunch at delicious restaurant. If you are ever in Huntington, NY - check out Prime. This will be added to a new page I just created featured my Strong Island Picks. Whether it be restaurants, events, places to go, or just cool stuff, I will link to it there.

Lastly- a pic of when Sue and I got married:

awwwwwwww!!!!
