5 Hidden Gems on Long Island

No matter where on Long Island you are, you’re probably not far from some type of unique, possibly tucked away eatery. From Queens to Montauk, there are so many hidden gems and I’m here to tell you about a few. Whether you prefer sushi or sandwich from a local deli, there’s bound to be something for you.

Bubba's Burrito Bar

Located right on main street in Islip, Bubba’s is a little piece of California on Long Island. Inside the surf themed restaurant you can find menu items like the Guilt Trip, a burrito with chicken fingers, mozzarella sticks, fried potatoes, bacon, cheese, sour cream, and “baja sauce.” Yes, I’ve had one. Yes, it’s life changing.

The Cup

Do you like cute coffee shops with a hipster-esque vibe? Do you enjoy an open mic night or two? Well, good news! The Cup Coffeehouse could be your new favorite place. Hidden away right next to the train station in Wantagh, The Cup offers a wide array of coffee, tea, and desserts. I’m a personal fan of their tea lattes served piping hot in a large mug.

Lucharito's

If you ever find yourself in the eastern part of Long Island, definitely pay the town of Greenport a visit. The waterfront town is packed with quaint restaurants and shops, Lucharito’s being one of the most unique. The taqueria and tequila bar offers nachos, quesadillas, and some of the best chicken tacos I’ve ever had. If you’re just stopping by for a drink, I highly recommend the strawberry mint mojito.

Onsen Sushi

For those of you who are sushi lovers, Onsen has actually gotten great reviews in local newspapers as well as the New York Times. Sitting in a shopping center in the small town of Oakdale, the restaurant is very deceiving from the outside. However, when you walk in you are greeted by a friendly yell from the chefs in the back. You can never go wrong with a California roll but they have an impressive list of specialty rolls, too. They may or may not know me by name when I go in there…

SE-Port Deli

SE-Port may look like your average deli from the outside, but they serve some of the most packed out sandwiches named after celebrities and even neighboring towns. Located in East Setauket, SE-Port is home to The Gasm- chicken cutlet, melted mozzarella, and bacon, on a toasted garlic hero with Russian dressing and cole slaw. Their menu goes far beyond that, so stop by and pick from the list of sandwiches that made SE-Port a local favorite.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
