I had wedding reception at the Garden City Hotel. I would only move back if I had the money to afford a waterfront house. Don’t miss the people or attitude....

Garden City didn't used to sell real estate to jews. Has that changed yet?

That was Manhassett too...

I always thought of Floral Park as part of Queens (which I know TECHNICALLY is part of LI, but nobody thinks of it that way).

No you are wrong. There is a part of Floral Park Queens. But there is also the village that has nice schools and beautiful houses.

Adventureland was a favorite too.

I hung out at a lot of the clubs; Malibu, Sprats on the water, Paddy Mcgees, metro 700, Spit, Jamz...and going to the diners late night.
Going out on boats

I miss:
-being by the water
-egg bagels (not a bagel with an egg on it!!)
-Concerts at Jones Beach. That's gotta be one of the best venues in the world
-Delicious pizza by the slice
-my family

But in general, I strongly dislike Long Island, and never fit in, despite being born and raised there. I didn't like most people, and god knows most of them didn't like me. I left for college and never lived there again. I much prefer it here.

Same. I had a very strict and paranoid mother - I was never allowed to go to a concert or club. I went to Jones Beach exactly twice in my life.

Commack, (Huntington Village as an adult) 43

Been here 10 years

Delis!
Fire Island. I've been back a few times but to drive out to Bay Shore and then take the ferry- too much!
Not taking 10 years to find a place to get a good hair cut
Great pizza/Italian restaurants
EVERYONE has a pool
Bagels (obviously)
Boardy Barn (but too old for them now anyway).
Drinking on the train home

Plainview Old Bethpage school district.

Carvel crunchy cakes (and the coupons in the Pennysaver for buy one get one free sundaes on Wednesdays)
I worked at Adventureland in the 90's
Usdan - camp for the performing arts
Woodbury Commons when we went to do "fancy shopping" - including the fancy Chinese food place there
It was totally common to drive through five or six different towns in the course of a regular day
Plainview Y - I didn't realize how awesome that place was until I didn't have access to it anymore
Walt Whitman Mall to meet up with boys
Broadway Mall when you were sick of the WW Mall boys
Roosevelt Field Mall when you grew up
Regal Deli
Foodtown > Waldbaums

But they do have some very nice people with good hearts that would take the shirt of their back for you.
