About us
Cocktails & Conversation is Going Places!
Our goal is to have adventures in dining and reading. And we welcome you to join us as we explore restaurants on Long Island for one event, and dive into books that will entertain and/or provoke lots of conversation the next.
This group was created to have a night where we can relax, de-stress, and have a laugh. There will be a suggested topic to kick-start conversation every event and a lively conversation is guaranteed. All are welcome. And to keep our events enjoyable for everyone, we keep things friendly and free of politics or self-promotion.
FOR DINING - a profile photo is required so we may recognize each other. The amount due is figured out by adding up the cost of items ordered and multiplying that sum by 1.3%
FOR BOOKS - join us at a local wine bar where you can sip, chat & enjoy whether you've read some, all, or none of the book! Discussions are not limited to the book picked.
We look forward to meeting you over some COCKTAILS & CONVERSATION!

Dining Adventure: Celebrating SUMMER Soltice on the Water 🍹🌞
Salt On The Water, 3100 whale neck Drive,, Merrick, NY, USSummer’s in 56 Days…
And Midsummer magic is real. The sun hangs higher, giving us golden, long, lazy nights. For centuries, this was the time for feasting and forgetting darker days ever existed. Let’s keep the tradition alive!
We’re kicking off the season with waterfront dining to celebrate. Trying the much talked about seasonal restaurant in Merrick:
“SALT offers a menu that blends American cuisine with fresh seafood and offers a casual yet refined dining experience. Guests can enjoy dishes like lobster rolls, fish tacos, and surf-and-turf options while enjoying the stunning South Shore Bay views. The restaurant's outdoor seating provides guests with one of the best sunset views on Long Island.” There may be live music.
We’d love to meet up on June 17th for outdoor dining @ SALT. Just in time to welcome summer. Hope you can make it!
Price: $$-$$$ / add up items ordered x 1.3% = total owed
