Patch Is Coming to Great Neck

Great Neck Patch debuts on Thursday.

Patch.com is expanding its Long Island footprint.

We’re putting down roots in Great Neck. That’s right. The community that inspired The Great Gatsby, produced Olympic gold medalist Sarah Hughes and boasts one of the finest school districts in the nation is about to get a whole lot more interesting.

Why? Because we’ll chronicle it all, from North Hempstead news you can use to the best gas prices around and the latest happenings up and down bustling Middle Neck Road.

Consider Great Neck Patch a virtual community lawn, your online gathering place for conversation, events, announcements, news and more.

You won’t have to wait much longer. Great Neck Patch debuts Thursday.

You can see what Patch up to now by liking us on Facebook and following us on Twitter @GreatNeckPatch

Local Editor Lori Gross is a veteran journalist who grew up in Great Neck.  

We’re currently looking to connect with local groups and organizations in Kings Point, Great Neck and nearby. Shoot us an e-mail at lori.gross@patch.com and say hello. 

Patch is owned by AOL, and operates 41 websites across Long Island, and more than 860 nationwide.

hopefully now Great Neck will have a real news paper which is not the mouth piece of the entrenched folks who refuse to leave local government . because it's "BETTER" (for them)

Hate to sound like an old woman, but when it was Von Leeson's it was always a joy to be there. AllRead More the staff had been there for years and treated the customers like family. Food was consistently good and they never "ran out" of anything. This place shouldn't be open for business. The poor kid waiting on us last time had to come to me and tell me they had no dessert to have with coffee other than ice cream. We left him a nice tip and I told him to find a job somewhere else; he'd never make any money there. It's a great location. We just need some smart business people to run it!

went there for breakfast the morning of the fair several weeks ago. First, how do you screw upRead More breakfast order? The young man server was doing his best, but still eggs, potatoes, and hash, no potatoes come, begged for coffee refills, ketchup was the very bottom of a heinz bottle. The excuse was sorry we have a new cook,..something tells me that aint the only problem, how does one screw up breakfast. Sorry wont be going back any time soon, unless I see a new mngment or new owner sign.

. This place is just not good. There is nothing appealing about poor service and absolutely horribleRead More food. It should have stayed closed when it went out of business not long ago. I hope the employees can find another means .
