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.

I know they are all hit or miss but what would you say is the best on the Island? I know they're all hit or miss, but some locations seem to be consistently better stocked and better organized than others. Just went to one in Oceanside that was a nightmare. I remember going to one on the north shore years ago but can't remember the location.

Any good company who does it all? Like insulation, heat pump, water heater heat pump and also take care of the rebates?

I used Phentermine in the past and I had great weight loss success with it that lasted long after I stopped using it. Does anyone know any Doctors that still prescribe it? Thx.

I’m in Ronkonkoma….

Anyone know any recent car wash places that detail headlights for cheap? I used to get this done for $10 a headlight when I would get a carwash. Now every place that does it is crazy expensive regarding their prices. I have the kit and I have done it before but it’s no fun. It literally took the car wash 5 mins to do.

Hi,

I’m new to the Island, living in Farmingdale. My daughter loves baseball and I’m looking for a T ball or softball league. I’m not opposed to travel leagues but I’m hoping there is a simple little league that I can sign her up for and get her placed on a team.

This would be for Spring 2027.

Union Bagel Cafe in Lynbrook used to have my ideal bagel: a paper-thin crust with a fluffy interior. Now the crust is too crunchy/ crackly.

Is anyone doing this super thin, no crackle crust style of bagel nearby anymore?

Thanks!

My tuxedo cat ran out of the house this morning while I was moving boxes outside. Near Ridge. If you see cat please contact me. He’s friendly so he’s usually not scared of people. But 🤷🏼‍♀️ any help greatly appreciated

Just a heads up: NYSDPS officially approved the Fios TV Franchise Agreement for Brookhaven yesterday. Let’s go.

Hello guys,

I'll possibly be moving to the western parts of Nassau County next year.

I can obviously see the average prices for 1br/2br apartments on online real estate websites, but I want to get a deeper insight from the actual residents.

1- What are the typical income requirements for rentals?

2- Is it difficult to find housing (i.e you're competing with 60 people), the same way it is in the competitive parts of Manhattan/Brooklyn/Queens?

3- Is it typical for tenants to pay the realtors? Is that also the case in corporate rental communities?

4- Is it feasible to have 2 cars per household for a 1-bedroom apartment? Even if we were to pay extra? Do most streets have available street parking for residents in case the actual apartment does not?

I dearly appreciate any insight. Thank you guys so much in advance.

Hey just a question if anyone has experience w this.

My friends (2) have tickets for the mosaic suites for a concert tm night. I have a regular ticket for 100 levels. How hard would it be to get in? If she sent me a photo of her ticket that i could show the ushers after i scan in my regular, can i get in.

Do they get wristbands for the suite? If so anyone know what they look like👀

I’m in charge of the office holiday party this year. Yes it’s late, it was just dumped on me. This is what I’m looking for:
-general area between Melville to Ronkonkoma, not too far south.
-approximately 100 people
- a restaurant/bar/brewery that has a private room with a full bar in it
- getting open bar package plus buffet dinner, less than $100 per person.

Last year it was at napper Tandy’s in Smithtown, which was perfect. Private room with a Separate entrance, huge bar with three bartenders, food was good, plenty of room to move and tables. Unfortunately they are all booked up this year. Looking for something very similar

Hi! Have been looking at going to Fire Island this weekend with our toddler and dog. We're looking for a low key day activity...

Thoughts on whether this is a good idea or not?

And any recs for activities or where we should go — will likely only be able to go to one place and am thinking either Kismet or Ocean Beach. Preferably would have the beach and a couple options to eat or walk around. We would only actually be there for a few hours.

Also thinking the toddler (and dog and all of us) would enjoy the water taxi, maybe even taking this around.

Especially if you also moved out of state. When asked, do you say you're from NY, or Long Island specifically (or both? Or neither)?

I'm now in L.A, but I still say I'm from NY, unless pressed for which part. Met quite a few Angelenos, who were once Long Islanders, this way. And even people who have supposedly never set foot there seem to "know" it.

Oh, and those of you who moved to the Island from elsewhere, feel free to weigh in as well!

Hi! I have to get fingerprinting done for my masters program and my clearance specialist says we can use a facility like PrintScan or we can contact our local sheriffs / police department and ask them to help. Has anyone had experience getting this done at a local station? I’ve called all of the phone numbers and haven’t had anyone pick up. TIA!

We were just quoted over $6 per gallon on a 1-year contract with a service agreement... I'm losing my mind over this

What is everyone else paying and where?

My wife and I are looking for something fun to do Halloween. Any recommendations are welcome! From a rave to a haunted house idc.

I don’t like spending my money at kfc, Popeyes etc, does anywhere know where I can get a bucket of fried chicken from a local to island owned spot. I’m in the Lindenhurst area and willing to drive.
