“It’s a great walking town. It has nice
shops,” says Barbara DeLillo. “We like
to get a cookie at Manhattan [Sweets
Boutique] Bakery when we are here, too.”

Cantor has been in Islip for 16 years, she notes. “When you do business in

And someone is always there to give advice.
“If you get stuck on a pattern, no one online can help,” says employee

Friday afternoon.
