Long Island is a strip mall with a two lane highway (4 lane once you get to Suffolk County) built on a slowly eroding sandbar that can't slip into the waves soon enough. Thankfully the rich assholes on the east side will be the first to fall into the ocean.

Pray that poor people don't invade their enclave by building bridges too low to allow bus traffic.

I spent 8 years at Stony Brook University for school and work. When I left they still hadn't finished the construction on the hospital they started two years before I got there. The pizza was ok though!

You can go to the beach then you go to a party at some beach house and get stinking drunk but in a more sophisticated way than usual. Then the next morning you get brunch, which is this rich people thing where it's classy instead of shameful to get drunk during breakfast. Then the next day you wrap it up by spending six hours in traffic. Good times.

The pizza is good, but that was a much bigger deal thirty years ago when flyover state pizza was absolutely dire. Now there's been enough of a pizza diaspora that you can usually get a halfway decent slice wherever you live.

every stereotype you hear about people New Jersey is far more applicable to people from Long Island. rob riggle had a good standup bit about assholes from there

ask any NY Islanders fan if they think that brooklyn is part of long island and they'll laugh at you, then cry because they can't get to their games as easily as they used to

Lol I had so much fun reading the Newsday comment section when they announced the move. So many white people bitching that they'd have to walk through "the ghetto" to get to the stadium. "The ghetto" in this case being a neighborhood where a one bedroom apartment runs into seven figures.

the LIRR runs through East New York which is a bad neighborhood, but if you're taking the train to the game then you don't have to get off there. gotta love LI white people

Apart from the Hamptons, LI blows.

The LIE is the worst parking lot in the history of roadways, and the people are trash; Deer Park, Commack...you know who you are.

I'm glad to be back in CT compared to STRONG Island, so I think this is an unfair assessment.

That said I want to move out of Connecticut as well so back-handed compliments and all that.

The few parts of Long Island not covered by sprawl or strip malls are of course infested with ticks. The 495 is lined by dozens of grubby pothole-ridden municipalities with stupid names. The Long Island Railroad is unreliable and fills up with dumb drunks every hockey night.

The allowing booze bit is wonderful, but unfortunately that booze is being consumed by Long Islanders.

Yet where is that woman now? Tell me, in what heave does she reside? None of them. Because no God bothered to listen or care. If that is what you think it means to be a God, then you and all your teachings are welcome to do as that poor women did. And vanish from these realms forever.
Everyone but me sucks on this island.
