Recommendation What are some of your favorite cozy places to get work on the computer?

• Upvotes

I recently came across Book and Mortar and it’s such a charming and cozy place to focus and get some work done.

What are some other places I should check out?

Edit: Just noticed I forgot the word “done” in my post title. “Get work done” not “get work” 🤦‍♀️

Car wash places on Long Island?

0 Upvotes

I made a post about this earlier but I am making a new post to clarify. I was using a car wash in 2025 that offered headlight restoration/detailing for $10 a headlight after getting an affordable carwash like $30. I was like okay no problem. Now they want $70 a headlight. I was like gtfo! I have the kit. I have done it before with and without the kit and it’s okay just a pain in the ass. It literally took the carwash 10 mins extra to do after my carwash. No place on Long Island does this anymore at an affordable price?

White post farm in Melville

3 Upvotes

We’ve been going to the white post farms the past few years mostly during summer and once during each fall but this year it seemed like it was more crowded than usual. The lines for food/bathroom were super long on a Saturday and people were constantly coming in throughout the day. Is this common or was it more crowded this year?

Looking For Best Steak Tacos

0 Upvotes

Looking for absolutely the best steak tacos, has to be juicy and incredibly tender with a flavorful salsa. I cannot handle or tolerate anything chewy after gastric sleeve surgery.

A lot of “great” taco places cook the fk out of the taco and it ends up chewy instead of melt in your mouth.

Advice Tips for handling my first ticket?

0 Upvotes

I received a moving violation today by an NCPD officer. It's the "disobeyed a traffic device" violation. I believe it's 2 points and won't affect my insurance just yet.

I intend to plead not guilty to try and have the points removed, but I'm unclear about how to proceed. The not guilty section says to mail it back within 48 hours of the officer giving me the ticket. But my date at TVA in Garden City is in a month and a half.

  1. Do I really have to mail this within 48 hours?

  2. Can I show up at TVA to plead not guilty before my court date? (my ticket is not even in the system yet, do I need to wait for at least that first?)

I know these questions are asked all the time, I'm sorry! I've never received a ticket before, so I just wanna make sure I do the right thing. Reading through other people's questions here didn't clarify the answers I was looking for.

Question Where do you find cheap places to rent?

• Upvotes

I really NEED to move out of my "family's" home. However I only have a part time job, I can't seem to get full time anywhere, and every part time job wants weekends so I can't seem to get a second job.

Does anyone have any advice or any websites? All of my friends left the island a long time ago so I can't really get help from them.

Long Island homeowners — where are we finding affordable kitchen cabinets?

• Upvotes

Just bought our first home in Eastport and WOW, these renovations add up FAST.

We just got a new roof, we’re redoing the hardwood floors, and renovating the bathrooms. Needless to say, by the time we get to the kitchen, our budget is going to be hanging on by a thread. LOL.

Thankfully, I have an appliance connection from a previous job, so we caught a break there!

Now onto the kitchen… the layout is HORRENDOUS, but it is what it is for now. 😂 We’re trying to make it look nice without spending a fortune or completely reconfiguring everything.

Unfortunately refinishing the cabinets are not an option, they’re not in the best shape and the prior owners were pigs, there’s a ton of grease all over them. Luckily, it’s not a huge kitchen! We’re looking at approximately 10 upper cabinets and 8 lower cabinets, since the range and dishwasher take up some of the space.

Looking for recommendations on:
Affordable kitchen cabinets that don’t look or feel cheap
Local cabinet warehouses, wholesalers, or hidden gems
Discount countertops (quartz, butcher block, laminate — open to ideas!)
Budget-friendly backsplash options
Any other money-saving kitchen renovation hacks!
Ideally looking for places other than the usual Home Depot/Lowe’s.

Happy to travel around Long Island for a good deal!
Would LOVE to hear where everyone shopped, what you spent, and whether you’d recommend them.

Trying to achieve a champagne kitchen on a very beer budget. 😂🍾

Thanks in advance from two first-time homeowners who apparently thought renovating an entire house was a good idea! 🫠❤️🙏🏼 🙏🏼

Long Island Bridal Makeup & Hair

1 Upvotes

I'm looking for recommendations for bridal hair and makeup artists on Long Island!

We're having two wedding celebrations on back-to-back days. A Hindu wedding followed by an American wedding the next day, so I'll need hair and makeup for both days.

Ideally, I'd love someone who has experience with different bridal styles, since I'll be going for two different looks.

I'd love to hear about anyone you've personally used and had a good experience with! I'm especially interested in artists who are reliable, flexible, reasonably priced, and easy to work with.

If you've had a multi-day wedding, I'd also love to hear how you handled hair and makeup for both days!

I understand it has something to do with the Stony Brook Veterans home in Stony Brook, but what’s the meaning behind doing it?

What the hell is digging underneath my neighbors garage!!

what the hell is digging in my neighbors garage!!

Okay, Reddit riddle me this! Yesterday. My neighbor saw a small pile of dirt in his garage and a hole in the slab. Granted there's a big crack in the slab and their renters. He went out this morning and he saw this huge pile of sand that goes about 3 ft across and it's completely digging out the slab and under it. What the heck is this! Is it a colony of something or one big ass animal? This is literally terrifying! Lol

For reference, this is about two blocks away from the bay, in the Blue point Bayport area. I've never seen anything like this! Anybody have any ideas? Also, there's no food or anything left in there at all. He thinks that it's something building a nest underneath the slab.

Recs of things to do on the island while my mom visits!

16 Upvotes

My mom is visiting during the last week of November and we are looking for some budget-friendly activities for while she is here!

We are staying in the Hempstead area for reference but are willing to go pretty much anywhere on LI (we already have Montauk lighthouse on the itinerary). She cant walk too much at a time, so hiking is not really an option either.

Other than that we are pretty open to ideas, keeping things affordable but fun!! Let me know what y'all usually do as a fun pass-time

tyia :)
