Jason Alexander ("George Costanza") Talks His Life, Career and Family at Lighthouse International Film Festival on Long Beach Island NJ - 8 Things We Learned About Him

 

By Suzanne Ordas Curry (Suzee)

Well, the one night I was on beautiful Long Beach Island NJ this summer so far that I didn’t take my after dinner walk to check out the line at Dairy King, which is always an indication of what the crowds are like on the island, I missed George Costanza! Rumor was that he went to Stefanos for dinner, a very popular, revered Italian restaurant on Long Island and then had Dairy King for dessert. Yes, Dairy King. Dairy King is the dominant ice cream shop for a several block radius near 18th Street, after that, since there is just about an ice cream shop every 10 blocks or less, another dominates. But DK gets ice cream afficionados from all over. But I digress...

The multi-talented Jason Alexander was a special guest at this year's Lighthouse International Film Festival on Long Beach Island NJ. LBI, as it's known as, is only about 2 hours from Manhattan but a destination that is a world apart, full of sprawling beaches, activities and vacation homes. It's a place people, especially families, come to relax and have fun.
