If you know anyone from Long Island, you know we take our food seriously. If you're looking for good pizza and bagels, just go to Long Island. Growing up in Huntington my whole life, I'm a Long Island girl in and out. You won't be able to argue with me about the superiority of our bakeries, delis and diners. Whether you're out late night with your friends or going out to eat with your family, these are some of the best go-tos. Long Island has a lot of amazing food to offer and these are some of my favorites that can't be beat.
1. First Class Bagels
This bagel and deli joint has been a favorite of mine since as long as I can remember. They have some of the best bagels I've ever had, from plain, everything, French toast, chocolate chip, or a classic bacon, egg and cheese. If you're not in the mood for a bagel (as if) they have bomb chicken cutlet.
2. Toast & Co.
I'm not a morning person, but their crunchy chocolate French toast will get me out of bed any day.
3. Whale's Tale
This restaurant on the water offers some of the best tacos and sunsets on Long Island. It's a hugely popular destination during the summer.
4. Little Vincent's
Famous for their cold cheese slice, this pizza place is always packed no matter what time of day. Even though they only serve pizza, it's well worth it. If you're from Long Island, you've been here.
5. Baja Grill
This small Mexican restaurant is so good and has amazing quesadillas that come with their signature lime sour cream.
6. Munday's
Always decorated for every holiday, this old-fashioned diner is so popular in the village for a reason.
7. The Witches Brew
With a million different coffee and tea options to choose from, this coffee shop is decorated for Halloween year-round and also has amazing desserts.
8. Ralph's Italian Ices
This Long Island staple offers so many different flavors, it's hard to choose which one you want. You know it's starting to get warm again when they open.
9. Prime Steakhouse

10. Ruvo
One of my favorite Italian restaurants. They also have a catering business for all your carb needs.
11. European Republic
Although it may not look it, this small eatery has some of the best wraps and fries around and with over 30 dipping sauces, you'll want to try them all.
12. Diner By the Sea
A classic Long Island diner, famous for their milkshakes.
13. Besito
With amazing margaritas and table-side guacamole, this upscale Mexican restaurant is always busy.
14. Chefs of New York
This pizzeria has amazing mozzarella sticks, garlic knots and specialty slices; basically everything a hungry girl could want.
15. Maureen's Kitchen
Easy to spot with the giant cow outside, you have to get up early for this delicious breakfast/brunch spot.
16. Gosman's Dock Restaurant
In Montauk, this restaurant on the water has the best seafood and not a bad view, either.
Now I'm hungry.
