One thing a Long Island summer can’t be complete without is dessert! Nothing better than coming home from a long day at the beach and stopping for desert! Though there are hundreds of places across Long Island that are great for food, these are the 7 seven places to go for that special snack.

1. Kilwin’s

Besides having multiple locations, including even other states, Kilwin’s is one of the most trusted names in ice cream for just a quick cone when out with friends. They also have the best fudge around. Their flavor selection is vast and the quality of the ice cream is through the roof.

2. Hershey's Ice Cream in West Islip

Another great ice cream joint that even makes milkshakes similar to the fancy ones that are trending right now from Black Taft!

3. Any Ralph’s

Ralph’s is a Long Island staple so I shouldn’t even have to say anything at all without everyone already knowing the wonder that is Ralph’s.

4. Diner By The Sea

If you’re unfamiliar, Diner By The Sea is in Long Beach and makes some of the most delicious and cutest milkshakes across Long Island. Not only are they so fun to take pictures of, but most shakes come with little props like a crazy straw or a pair of funky sunglasses in the cup.

5. The Witches Brew

Being a Hofstra student my guilty pleasure has to be The Witches Brew because of its close proximity and really cool vibe! But their coffees, lattes, hot chocolate, and desserts are perfect especially for a cold winter night.

6. International Delight Café

Another classic joint, the café is known for its waffles and ice cream but one of my personal favorites happens to be the case of ice cream that lines the front wall with 30+ flavors! (Definitely try the Rainbow cookie cake).

7. Marvel Frozen Dairy

And last but not least, Marvel! If you’re going to take a trip to Long Beach or you live close by, Marvel’s soft serve is out of this world! It wouldn’t be a Long Island summer without it!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
