In addition to being a Senior Consultant with Merrill Lynch, Herbert Roy Zucker is the founder of SafeDecisions, a company that provides secure storage for individuals. Herbert Zucker has been engaged in several community projects, such as the revitalization of the waterfront on Glen Cove, a resort on the North Shore of Long Island.
Glen Cove was first established in 1668 by five partners who called the settlement Musketa Cove, from a Native American word meaning “land of rushes.” Over the years it became known for a thriving lumber industry, as well as being a port for smuggling liquor. After the American Revolution a clay mine was established that supplied local potteries. In 1829, daily steamboat service began from New York City. However, visitors were few, and they were put off by the name of the community, which they associated with mosquitoes. In response, the town renamed itself Glen Cove. Major hotels sprang up along the waterfront as the newly christened destination proved popular. Members of the New York elite families, such as the Morgans, the Pratts and the Woolworths, constructed luxury estates, many of which have been repurposed for modern use. Home to some 27,000 residents, the city boasts several attractions. Noteworthy among them is the Garvies Point Craft Brewery, which creates micro-brewed specialties such as Sour Batch Cipra and Cast Astray Simcoe. Another destination is the Garvies Point Museum and Preserve. The facility conducts research into local geology, describes Native American history, and collects archeological discoveries. Visitors with a historical interest may appreciate the many historic mansions that are still in existence as well as the Holocaust Memorial & Tolerance Center of Nassau County. The museum teaches about racism and anti-Semitism while promoting respect for all persons.
