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

Best blooming onion everrrrr.

Plaster Funcraft

Childhood? DUH! Come on girls, we definitely had a birthday party here when we were little or at least have been here for a friends birthday!

Right next to Gasoline Heaven.


RX Express

Where to get your medicine or even scratch off’s.


Spare Rib

The restaurant across from Friendly’s/ Bar Louie.

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

Vanco Pharmacy

Commack South area right next to North Shore Farms.

Wendy’s

The best froyo around with great toppings.

nyZ Apocalypse

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters
Taylor Hooper

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions.
