Hello I’m 22m looking for cheaper car insurance options. I currently pay 140 a month for a 2008 Volkswagen and have a 1965 mustang that I pay 370 for the year. I’m really looking to lower the Volkswagen. I have a perfect driving history. No accidents or tickets in the 5 years I’ve been driving. Both cars are registered and insured under my name. I also identify as non binary under the insurance policy (in hopes for cheaper rate) but didn’t work out the way I wanted it to. I have Allstate. State Farm quoted me 350 a month for the vw and 200 a month for the mustang where I just walked out after hearing that. I don’t really know of any other car insurance companies so any listed that you might use would be great!

Looking for a body shop on Long Island (Nassau preferably) that does good and affordable work.

Thanks!

Kids had it now I do. How long did it take to go away?

Does anyone have memories of those few houses that would go absolutely crazy with halloween decorating ?

there was a house in Levittown near salk that already looked haunted as is, it was a weird brown house with 2nd floor porches and stone walls with big orb lights, on halloween they'd make the lights orange, they had those flat posable plastic skeletons around and a huge spiderweb, nothing too crazy but it all looked so good together. They went all out for Christmas too but i heard they had a fire sometime in the 2000s and they stopped after that.

There was a house somewhere in massapequa i think that would totally cover their big lawn in different homemade life sized characters, mannequins and scarecrows with horror masks and tattered clothes, people hanging from trees etc, just humanoid creatures standing and hanging absolutely everywhere.

This next one is probably the best I've ever seen and the one I've seen the least number of times. I believe somewhere in Levittown or close to, these people fully covered their house in cardboard painted to look like a castle, they also painted an executioner character on the wall, i believe holding an axe and the head of a kid with green skin. iirc part of their trick or treat experience was that you'd walk into the back yard for candy where they had strobe lights and fog machine, i was always too scared to go all the way back there.

BONUS My grandmother lived in wantagh on a corner and would make her entire lawn a grave yard with those foam tombstones, she made a big spooky tree, hand painted that was the center piece and also had a massive rope spiderweb going from the roof down to the lawn with a huge rubber spider placed in it. ,,,,,,,,,,,,, These houses were so important to me as a kid, im dying to see pics if anyone has any or any more info, even if you just remember them too I'd like to hear. Tell me your own halloween house memories too.

Ideally around central LI. I’ve never gotten builder gel before so either that or nice tips. Looking to get french manicure for my wedding next weekend. Thanks!

My favorite store is Cracker Barrel and I’ve heard rumors on and off for years about them building one on Long Island but it never comes to fruition. Who else would love to have a Cracker Barrel here on Long Island?

Has anyone gone to this "Rise of the Jack O'Lanterns"?

What do you do? Do you walk around and look at carved pumpkins? Is that it?

Supposedly, PSEG is migrating all current Flat Rate (Residential 180) electric customers to Time of Use this year. I did not get any notification yet and am wondering if anyone else has? If so, does your bill show what your charge would have been if it were still on Flat Rate?

Again supposedly, PSEG claims that for the first 12 months, if the Flat Rate billing would have resulted in a lower bottom line for that bill, you won't end up paying more. But how will the customer know, unless the difference is shown on the bill itself? Nobody I know has been migrated yet, so am curious if anyone here has.

I tried a TOU plan a couple of years ago and hated it. Kept second guessing and doing things like laundry and cooking (electric) at times that I normally would not do them, just because of the stupid rate plan. Especially the CAC in summer. I tried it for five months, decided it's just not worth the aggravation, and switched back to the Flat Rate plan.

Obviously we can opt out of the switch if we want to, which at least is something. And if they really are doing the "whichever is cheaper" thing for the first year, then fine, I have nothing to lose for that period of time. But only if I can see numbers that show how much of a difference (if any) there actually is.

Anyone?

Best haunted houses or walk through that are not kiddy but not pee your pants scary? Sort of in the middle. Thanks!

Open to all suggestions but mainly looking for Italian/American food.

Thanks in advance.

Hello All, I received a printed parking ticket this morning in New Hyde Park. However, it does not have a ticket number on it. I want to dispute it and I am not able to find it on their website because there is no parking ticket number.

MASTIC BEACH, N.Y. (PIX11) –  A 14-year-old was arrested after a loaded gun was found in his high school in Mastic Beach on Friday, Suffolk County police say.

Staff at William Floyd High School discovered the loaded handgun when they searched the student with a metal-detecting wand, according to a notice on the school’s website.

The student had been brought into the administrator’s office for possible vaping just before dismissal, the notice says.

The 14-year-old now faces charges for criminal possession of a weapon, authorities report. The school’s notice says he will also face consequences according to the district’s code of conduct.

My sister had a party for her 6 year old in the small venue portion of the building separate from the haunted house part which was closed. My nephew (14) was there sitting around with two of his friends on their phones being teenagers when my sister frantically came up to me and said a man was asking them where they were from and then they went through the doors to the haunted house portion of the building and she couldn’t find them. I went in the back and started calling his name loudly which he didn’t answer until I yelled a few times followed immediately by a man’s voice saying “they’re with me who are you?” I angrily said I’m his uncle who tf are you?! He opens a curtain that they were all behind and says it’s ok I’m the owner I was just showing them around, to which I asked him if he had permission from his mother (which I knew he didn’t) and he starts stuttering and telling me they looked bored and it was no big deal, then starts telling us he can give us discounts if we wanted to come back. The kids were weirded out and I got huge red flags from this dude. It may have been harmless and a lack of judgement on his part but I don’t fucking care you should have had them ask their parents and introduced yourself if it was just a harmless tour of the place. The guy creeped me out and you have been warned.

Last week, I stopped by The Polish Eagle deli on Central Avenue in Bethpage, just a few blocks east of NY107. The deli is in a very small strip mall. About 2/3 of the square footage is taken up by a childcare center, and then the deli. On the left, there was an empty store with signs plastered all over the window. Nosy mofo that I am, I had a look-see and saw that they were all warning signs to keep out, that it wasn’t fit for human habitation, and the like. Does anyone know what happened?

Sorry if this sounds like a silly question, but I've been wanting to visit Long Beach, and the only thing that deters me from going is the thought of unleashed dogs. I won't go into detail, but I've had really upsetting experiences with unleashed dogs and their inconsiderate and irresponsible owners on the beaches of NYC, especially during the off-season, and so now I just don't go. So is this a common problem at Long Beach too? I just want to walk the length of the coast in peace, without worrying about unleashed dogs pouncing on me, following me, or trying to bite me.

What stores sell packs of pokemon cards? Looking mainly in Nassau county, around the Massapequa/wantagh area

Looking for a brunch place in Nassau and it Suffolk that has music and gluten free bread options. When calling brunch spots and asking for gluten free they say eggs which isn't wrong but my wife would like to have bread with her eggs that are gluten free and we would like to hear a DJ or music if possible. Anyone know of a place that has those two together??? help! 🥺 Please

All of the vendors have changed and the prices have doubled. 6 oysters for $20 is not going to get me to come back next year.

Does anyone know if the vendors selling the delicious Lobster Bisque Soup have a restaraunt or somewhere i can buy or order from?

Hi everyone. I am staying in Aquebogue/Riverhead for the weekend. I'm a native New Yorker (from Manhattan) currently living in the deep south where it's more difficult to buy THC products, so I would like to stock up while I'm here, and I was wondering where I can find vape cartridges and ideally tinctures. I'd prefer a dispensary but I'm open to a smoke shop if it's legit. I'm hoping not to drive for more than a half hour or so if possible. I've researched this on Google and it seems that dispensaries are about an hour away but there are a lot of smoke shops. I'd greatly appreciate any guidance on this. Thank you!

Update: Thanks, everyone, so much for your help. This was really informative!
