26 Things You Recognize If You're From Commack, New York

If you're from Commack, New York you definitely know all of these places. To all my friends who are currently in college like myself, I'm sure you miss this town...even just a bit...maybe.

Applebees

You know, the one by Target on Veterans Memorial Highway. The place where you see basically everyone from your high school on a Friday or Saturday night for some half off app’s.

Bagel Chalet;

Best bagel place EVER. No questions on that.

Candlelight Diner

I was debating whether Premier Diner or Candlelight Diner was better... I came to a realization, that A LOT of people where I went to high school go to candlelight dinner after a school event.

Dunkin Donuts

I always need my medium iced coffee with 7 pumps of caramel and half and half before my day starts as well as a bacon, egg, and cheese on a croissant.

Emilio's Pizzeria

Okay okay, every pizza place in Commack is so good but there’s just something about Emilio’s Pizzeria that makes the pizza bomb.com.

Friendly's

Ice cream? Friendly's. Apps after 8 instead of waiting till 10 for Applebees? Friendly’s. A place that was popular for the middle school kids back in like…2011? Friendly’s.


Greek Village Restaurant

A Greek Salad is amazing from here especially pita bread with the tzatziki sauce.

Harned Road

If you live in Commack South, you definitely know this road.

Izumi

Best hibachi place with the best sushi, duh.

Jericho Turnpike

The busiest road in the afternoon that we try to avoid…but can’t, unfortunately.

King Kullen

Ya know, the one where sports authority used to be, the one near Miller’s Ale House and Target.

LIE

Wanna get to Montauk? Take the LIE.

Millers Ale House

Best place to go with friends on a Friday or Saturday night … personally, there nachos are to die for but that’s just my opinion.

North East Dance Academy

I grew up dancing here and now my two sisters and cousin dance here so I’m supportive of this dance studio!

Outback Steakhouse

Where girls get makeup and other beauty products to look good, of course.

Vanco Pharmacy

Commack South area right next to North Shore Farms.

Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
