UNIONDALE, N.Y. — Megan Hallquest started working at Nassau Coliseum when she was 16 years old. She sold Carvel ice cream.
“First job ever,” she said proudly. “Greatest first job ever.”
She’s 23 now, and she’s moved on to pretzels, then Chinese food, and now adult beverages. “Finally,” she says with a smile, “I get beer.”
Megan’s sister worked here, too. So did her brother. She was “devastated” when she learned the Islanders were moving to Brooklyn, and she figures she’ll be crying on the night they finally depart.
She also figures they will be back.
