ABC, one, two, three, baby, New York State.


A is for Accents.

The New York accent is the best of them all. "Dawg," "Tawk" and "New Yawk" etc.

B is for Big Apple.

The nickname for the greatest city in the world, NYC.

C is for Coney Island.

Located in Brooklyn, Coney Island, is a fantastic place to hit on your summer adventures. What is better than a carnival and the beach?

D is for Dutchess County.

What is considered not upstate New York, but not really downstate either? Dutchess County!

E is for The Empire State Building.

The building that is the tallest in all of the city and outshines the rest.

F is for Fredonia.

This upstate New York town has one of the SUNY liberal arts schools, SUNY Fredonia.

G is for Good Eats.

New York is home to some of the best food and restaurants in the entire world. New York certainly has good eats.

H is for The Hamptons.

This wealthy area has some of the most expensive and extravagant homes in the country.


I is for Ithaca.

Home to the prestigious, Ivy League university, Cornell University.

J is for The New York Jets.

New York's favorite football team (besides the Giants).

K is for (Hell's) Kitchen.

Located in Midtown, the heart of Manhattan.

L is for Long Island.

You know you're from Long Island when you think Long Island should be its own state.

M is for Milk Bar.

Guaranteed you've seen this cake on Instagram at least five times. The ever-so-famous confetti filled delight is from the outstanding Milk Bar in NYC, along with other delicious desserts.

N is for New York City.

O is for Oswego.

Located on Lake Ontario. SUNY Oswego resides here.

P is for Pizza.

Once you've had a slice of New York pizza, your tastebuds are changed forever.

Q is for Queens.

The most diverse place on earth.

R is for The New York Rangers.

New Yorkers go absolutely insane over this hockey team.

No one outside of the east coast will have a clue to what a SUNY school is.

T is for Taxi.

The yellow taxi is the easy way to get around NYC.

U is for Union Square.

The chillest park in all of NYC.

V is for Vacationing.

New York gets millions of vacationers every year. You know New York is touristy when its hard to find an English speaking person in tourist parts of NYC.

W is for Westchester County.

The best county in the country! Resides outside of NYC.

X is for (E)Xtravagant skylines.

Y is for The New York Yankees.

I am particularly not very fond of the Yankees, but I would say eight out of ten New Yorkers probably are.

New York City, "the city that never sleeps."

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.

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.
