NY/ L.I. themed Items for Welcome Hotel Bag

Hey ya'll!

I've already purchased cute bags for our 160 out of town guests.

But I'm thinking of what to put in the bags that relate to Long Island as a welcome for our guests from Texas, the Midwest, Seattle, etc.

I've found North Fork Chips, Entemann's Cookie boxes and am thinking of including a CD of LI artists including Mariah Carey, Billy Joel, Brian Setzer.

Any other ideas for food items to include, even if they are NYC items?

Thanks :)

Dunkin Donuts - the donuts or the coffee, black and white cookies, bagels, LI wine, something from Bliss Spa?

there's a brewery out east - Blue Point Brewing Company - VERY VERY good beer! They are actually bringing it into our CH because FH loves it!

definitely wine from LI...but it may be expensive.

You can also go to museums in your area (or NYC) and they will probably have long island/nyc merchandise.

also - anything from the Big Duck or maybe Adventureland or Splish Splash.

I'm looking for cheap food items to add in, I'll put maps and other information in there.

Any other food ideas?

And Long Island is known for its oysters and fishing in general....in the 1700s and 1800s, it was known for ducks and potatoes
