Patchogue Village was once known as Queen's City during its heyday in the late 1800s. It's famous for its many beautiful hotels, restaurants, resorts and shops. Recently, Patchogue has seen an amazing revival of 5-star restaurants, music venues, theaters, breweries (Blue Point Brewery is in Patchogue), festivals, and cute Mom and Pop Shops.
