All summer long, we shared our Long Island and gave away sweet prizes on Instagram. And you returned, posting your beach days and girls’ nights using the hashtag #SummerofPulse. The season went by in the snap of a camera, but these photos will help hold us over until next year.

And the giveaways aren’t going anywhere. Follow @longislandpulse on Instagram for our fall contest. The prizes figure to be sweeter than a North Fork candied apple.

When Chef Guy Reuge presents you with Jamón Ibérico Pizza, you devour it. ________________ Reflecting on the Long Island Pulse summer social I attended a few weeks ago. This proceeds of the event to benefit Stony Brook Children’s Hospital. 📍978 NY-25, Riverhead, NY #TheNewYorkDines #lipulse #summerofpulse #summersocial #northfork #sponsored • • • #food #foodporn #foodphotography #foodies #longislandfoodie #newyorkeats #newyorkfoodie #longisland #newyorkfood #foodgram #pizzalover #newyork #nofo #nyeats #prosciutto #buzzfeedfood #pizza #taste #omg #meatlover #bestfoodworld #jamesbeardaward #stonybrookchildrenshospital #meatshow
