Why Theodore’s?
Our home is Oyster Bay – a historic, waterfront hamlet on Long Island’s Gold Coast. It’s a destination for visitors to the Sagamore Hill National Historic Site, where Theodore Roosevelt lived, worked, and died. It contains well-known Revolutionary War sites including the Raynham Hall Museum (a key part of Washington’s spy network). And, it is a lively scene for restaurants, bars, boating, and family activities.
Theodore’s Books is owned by former Congressman Steve Israel, who decided to “turn the page” from a career in politics and find a place where there’s no screaming, lobbying, or finger-pointing (unless it’s the tip of your finger against a line in a book you love).
