🌱Mineola Concerts In The Park Lineup + Filipino Fare In East Meadow

Good morning, people of Merrick! It's me again, Ash DeMello, your host of the Merrick Daily.

First, today's weather:

A shower in the afternoon. High: 60 Low: 49.

Here are the top five stories in Merrick today:

1. Nassau County DA says that two individuals have been indicted in the killing of a Baldwin man, DA says. The death occurred in October 2021 during an apparent drug deal. Darin Semple, 20, of Freeport, and Devin Obleanis, 21, of Central Islip, are facing charges. (Patch)
2. Get ready for outdoor music! The Village Of Mineola announced its 2022 Concerts in the Park schedule. Look forward to swing music, Allman Brothers covers, 70s AM radio hits and more at Mineola Memorial Park Amphitheater all summer long. (Mineola American)
3. Find chicken adobo, lumpia and other craveable Filipino classics at one of East Meadow's latest entries to its restaurant lineup. Kusinera opened this winter in East Meadow, offering traditional favorites as well as dishes deftly adapted to be vegetarian-friendly. Chef/owner Joy Ann Salanga said she started cooking out of her apartment, but demand for her food motivated her to open a restaurant. (Newsday; subscription required)
4. Meet local pets in need of adoption at the Merrick Patch. Minnie, Pheonix and others are awaiting their forever homes.
5. Local companies are hiring. See what jobs are available in the Merrick area at the Merrick Patch.
