I have a chance to live in an affordable apartment in Roslyn Heights. Should I take it?

The caveat is that I don't have a car and must commute into the city on occasion, but the development is within walking distance of the Roslyn station. And gosh, for a trashy South Shore girl like me to have a chance at *Roslyn* is mighty tempting.

Board Game Stores

I'm looking to get some board games to enjoy with my family. not your run of the mill hasbro whatever games you can get at walmart or target. more strategy based games that are independently published. kids are between 6, 9 and 11, so things that they can easily grasp on to are a plus.

Thanks!

Anyone know how to get the games section on the daily newspapers?

It’s my birthday and I always look forward to the games in the newspaper. Of course it’s the one day the newspaper doesn’t come when I leave for work.

Any way I can get a digital version of the nyt or daily post games oages?

With the crosswords, scramblers, sudoku x, anagrams, cryptograms?

Anyone know an online link for the pages or can send a picture of it…

Thanks!!

Finding an apartment: LBNY

Hi! I currently live out of state but I grew up on the island and would love to make the move back to Long Beach. I've been trying to look for apartments/ houses to rent on fb marketplace and Zillow, but it seems incredibly hard to find anything!! Was wondering how you all found your apartments and if you had any advice for looking when you dont currently live local. Thanks!

Where do you get your Long Island news + events info?

I'm trying to find a good newspaper / website that has local event listings and local news coverage for long island. i want to find stuff to do with my kids / family on the weekends and keep apprised of important local issues, like the Bethpage plume or the big ronkonkoma development that's happening.

i tried newsday and they have good local news, but i don't think they have a lot of events in their print edition and i struggle to find events listed in their online edition too.

i've tried some really local stuff like "The Long Islander" and "The Times of Huntington & Northport", but the deliver shedule of these papers is really inconsistent. The listings are good but i don't receive the paper until after the weekend is over (it's supposed to be delivered on thursdays). even then i feel like the listings are often same set of venues that regularly advertised in those papers.

Does the NY times have good long island coverage? are there other news outlets or events websites i should try?

What are some good places to go to just sit an contemplate life

It’s almost 10pm. I’m considering going to the Brooklyn bridge park but I’m 7 months pregnant and a woman and my mom and bf would get mad at me for doing that alone. I just really could use to clear my mind right now and sit somewhere and zone out and be outside. Any ideas?

Edit to add- I’ve read all your nice comments. Thank you. I will get back to you guys when I can.

Asian Food Scenes on LI

Ever since the real estate craze during pandemic, I've been seeing a lot more changes with Asian food on LI. I used to have to go out to the city for these, but now I can get them on LI. (These are just my suggestions).

  1. Mad For Chicken (Plainview). I love Korean Fried Chicken. The OG location was in Flushing and I used to hang out with friends there. While there is another MFC in East Meadow, the Plainview location is just waaay better. You can get the OG soy garlic flavor, but there are other flavors offered. If you're tired of having pizza, wings, and beers during a game, try MFC. They also have other Korean dishes if you want to try.
  2. Korean BBQ. A few opened up in Nassau: KPOT in Westbury, Won in Carle Place, and others. If you're a carnivore, definitely try these all you can eat places. I personally like Won better. There are other Korean BBQ places opened up in Nassau as well.
  3. Ramen - Kyuramen in Garden City and Huntington. Youta Ramen in Mineola. Nothing like a nice bowl of Japanese ramen when it's cold outside. Kyuramen is more well-known and offers other non-ramen dishes like yakitori and omurice. Youta Ramen is good with a different taste in broth. The broths at each Ramen shop are different, so I highly recommend trying them all.
  4. Kura Conveyor Belt sushi - it's just fun to do, but don't expect GREAT sushi. It's not bad, but definitely a great experience if you've never tried it.
  5. Hot Pot - I used to have to go to Chinese supermarket to get the ingredients and make it myself. Now there are a lot of options. You can try KPOT in Westbury if you want hot pot and/or Korean BBQ, there's Spring Shabu Shabu, which is Japanese style hot pot, and others in the area.
  6. Boba/Bubble tea - Coco's in Westbury and Syosset, Tiger Milk Tea in Carle Place, and other independent shops. It seems like everyone loves Boba tea now (I do!)
  7. Japanese comfort food - if you like onigiris or bento boxes, highly recommend Tominaga Shouten in Port Washington, Hanamaru in Hicksville, and Shin Nippon Do in Roslyn Heights. They're all supermarkets but they sell pre-made food that's perfect if you're craving Japanese comfort food. Takes me back to the konbinis in Japan.
  8. Filipino food - Kabayan Grill that is in Woodside now also has a location in East Meadow. Not a fan of either location myself. I like Kusinera in East Meadow which is pretty good as well.
  9. Not Asian per-se, but I've been seeing a lot more Hawaiian places opening up. I love a good loco moco with Hawaiian grilled meats. I've recently tried Honolulu Hawaiian BBQ and Poke Bar (they just opened) in East Meadow and it takes me back to the times I went to Hawaii.
  10. Not a big fan myself, but I've been seeing Paris Baguette opening up multiple locations. They are a Korean brand, but I've never really liked it too much. I'd prefer French Workshop in Garden City for pastries.

Affordable nose piercing Nassau county?

I’m looking to get my nose pierced but I’m having a hard time finding an affordable place. Every shop over found has a $40-$60 service fee plus jewelry that’s $50 minimum plus a tip. So essentially $120+ at bare minimum. That seems a little steep to me but I don’t have a massive frame of reference so maybe I’m wrong.

Any good shop recommendations? I’m specifically looking for a black stud, preferably a black jewel held by silver. Not a lot of shops seem to carry that so larger variety in jewelry offered would be preferable

Book lovers in suffolk looking to start a book club?

Hey so I live in bayport (between sayville and patchogue and not many people have heard of it) and I recently discovered my local library has book club starter kits so I was planning on starting one. Ideally it would meet in person as the goal is to foster more face-to-face connections as that is lacking so much in modern day society. They have over 20 book selections and judging just from the few I looked into they are some amazing selections. All are welcome so please leave a comment on here if you are interested or reach out to me privately. Thanks!

Open Call for Orchestral String Players - Northport Symphony Orchestra

Not sure how much traction this will gain here, but figured I should try! I play violin in the Northport Symphony Orchestra (https://northportsymphony.org/) and we would love to increase our string forces. We have a full complement of winds, brass, and percussion, so we need to expand our string sections to balance the sound. We are looking for players of all ages (we have members ranging from high school to past retirement age) and, though entry is audition-based, our players' levels vary and we can accommodate all abilities.

Even if you yourself are not a string player, we'd appreciate getting the word out!

We play under Eric Mahl, who took over last year and has brought a really stellar energy and passion to the group. Last year, we had a wonderful concert cycle that included Scheherezade and Mahler 1. This year, our program highlights include Dvorak Symphony No. 9, Brahms Symphony No. 3, and Copland Appalachian Spring.

Rehearsals are Wednesdays at 7 in the Northport area, which should hopefully prevent conflicts with many other groups on the island. I can get you in touch with our music director, or just click the link. Will happily take any questions about the orchestra's level, schedule, or anything else!

What's the current plan for 347 between NY25 and Nicolls Road?

I know I know, it will never be finished. But I was wondering, what is the current plan at least?? as there were so many ideas in the past. According to Wikipedia:

As of the mid-2010s and early 2020s, a project to upgrade the highway is underway.[4] The project, known as the NY Route 347 Safety, Mobility and Environmental Improvements Project, is to improve traffic flow and transform NY 347 into a multi-modal highway. Soundwalls, earthen berms, a third lane, new curbs & gutters, and landscaped medians – along with bicycle & pedestrian paths, green spaces, bus shelters, and green infrastructure – are all being constructed as part of the project. Two interchanges will be constructed, as well: one at NY 25 and the other at Nicolls Road – and many remaining at-grade intersections will be enhanced.

I see three major things:

  1. Third lane
  2. NY 25 interchange
  3. Nicolls Road interchange

I'm not an expert, but it doesn't look like there will be an interchange between 347 and NY25, just a regular intersection. Am I missing something? Also, they recently paved and painted part of 347 around Lowes. It looks like there will be only 2 lines going straight. Although they painted the yellow line kind of far away from the middle barrier, so I'm not sure.

Anyone knows what's the current roadmap of this project? pun intended
