Has anyone heard of this forgotten abandoned Asylum

My dad used to mention to me when he was a teenager in the 70s or 80s that his friends would explore this abandoned insane asylum late at night in the woods. He said that he could hear weird sounds and it was the most eerie thing he experienced. He lived around Melville/Huntington around the roads of sweet hallow and mount misery. Let me know if you guys have knowledge about the name/ story of going to this abandoned place!!

Prescription delivery service like Capsule?

I just moved to Suffolk from Queens and had previously been using Capsule as my pharmacy because they have a really well designed app/website and I've always had great and responsive customer service with them without needing to talk to anyone over the phone. Unfortunately they don't deliver out here and I'm looking for a suitable replacement.

Any recommendations for a good pharmacy that delivers, has a great website for keeping track of prescriptions and refills, and solid customer service?

Is my auto insurance quote good?

Hi, just looking to hear from others because I only have one close friend to ask. I’m 32 female, and got quoted $287 monthly from Geico. I do have a one fault accident and a traffic ticket in my recent driving history. I live in New Hyde Park as well. It’s full coverage as well (50,000 limit) and a $1000 deductible. This would be for a Toyota Rav 2024 vehicle. I’ve been driving for 11 years too. Thank you so much.

Loud plane(s) circling?

This sounds nuts but does anyone else keep hearing a loud plane flying over? I know planes fly by but I keep hearing and the sound is louder than typical. Maybe military jets?

Help me find L.I.P.A (Long Island Party Animals) from a thrifted DVD!!

I went thrifting at the Northport Salvation Army and stumbled upon a DVD called Hamptons Movie May 2006. On the DVD was photos of what seems to be a fun weekend at a Hamptons house. They called themselves L.I.P.A (Long Island Party Animals) and I'd love to find those in the photos to return it to them!! I've attached some group photos.

Jetski around the entire island

Has anyone circled the entire island on a jetski? How long did it take and could your jetski stay pinned for the entire journey if you had calm seas without breaking?

Non Valentine’s Valentine Activities?

My husband and I have wildly different diets, are really not looking to drop mad money on a prefix dinner, and don’t want to do something cliche. Any ideas what to do next weekend that won’t feel contrived? Still getting him chocolate but wanted to find something outside the box (forgive me for the pun).

April in Greenport recs

Hi all! My husband and I are escaping our children for a weekend and going to greenport in April. I know I can google places, but I’d rather get actual opinions from real people instead of things pushed by the algorithm or Instagram. We’d love to visit a vineyard at some point. I love rosé and orange wine (might be difficult to find, but doesn’t hurt to ask) and my husband loves just about anything.

We’d also love to know if there are restaurants or cocktail bars that are must visits. We’re not picky eaters and love just about anything.

I realize this might be a bit vague, but truly I just would appreciate any recommendations.

Thank you in advance!

My favorite memberships for young families on Long Island

I'm part of a family with young kids (2/3 year olds) and I've found a few memberships I've gotten a ton of value out of, especially when the weather is cold like this. I wish I had a list like this when I first moved to LI so I figured I'd post it here in case anyone else would get value out of it. Also would love to hear what else people would add. Keep in mind I'm in smithtown, so this is based around me here.

  1. Long Island Children's Museum (LICM) - Tons of hands on learning activities, dedicated spaces for different age groups, plenty of arts and crafts, a theater, a climbing area... this one is at the top of my list because my kids are happy here literally from open to close. A yearly membership will cost you between 200-300 dollars depending on the size of your family. It's also super close to a few other museums- the Air and Space museum is a little "old" for us, but we sometimes stop by the Fire Museum. And though the Carousel is temporarily closed for repairs, once that's open again, it's another good reason to make the trip.
  2. The LI Aquarium - If your kid loves animals, this is another good membership. With a big central shark tank, plenty of chances to be hands on with stingrays/reptiles, lots of informative shows (sea lions, otters, penguin feeding, etc...), a butterfly room, and a huge tower with giant slides, this can really take a whole day to explore. Assuming they want the butterfly room (it's such a treat for young kids), membership will run you between 250-300. However, check your local library first!! They often have day tickets for a great deal. If you think you can get that regularly, hold off on the membership.
  3. Flight Adventure Park (or equivalent trampoline spot in your area) - Great, fun way to burn off some energy. I've had great luck with Flight as if you go right when it opens its not too crazy and you can find a corner to jump with your kids. The economy membership limits you to 90 minutes of jumping, but that's perfect for most IMO, and runs you 29 bucks per person per month. Wherever you go, make sure they're careful about safety . As long as you feel like you have the space for the kids to have their own trampoline and won't get bowled over by bigger kids, this is a great membership IMO.

Would love to hear any others!

Anyone recently raise their basement ceiling?

I have an unfinished basement with ceiling height of about 6 feet in most areas however it’s lower near the main support beams causing many people to have to duck in certain spots. It has an outside entrance.

Assuming the two options to raise the ceiling are either to dig further underground or raise the foundation…has anyone recently done either?

Wondering on costs?? Who did you use?

Understand there can be multiple variables. I have a tiny 800 sq ft cottage. Single story.

How difficult to build a driveway in Town of North Hempstead?

Currently the house has no driveway and it is grass and a gravel path where the new driveway would be put. More specifically this is the Village of Manorhaven.

It would be a short 2 car driveway in the front of the house. I know I would need permits, an architect and paver company.

Anyone with experience with this, what was the process like and at what cost? I was hoping it would only be a few thousand but now I’m guessing it’s closer to $20,000…

Going rate for studio apartments

I’m not currently looking, but doing some research. What’s the going rate for studio apartments within single family homes?

Edit: Size: approx 450 sq feet

I know areas affect rates, so I’m looking at the Centereach/Selden area.
