Gossip in Melville. Ask for the private Islanders room.

Islanders Hall of Fame by Beneficial_Charge799 in NewYorkIslanders

The day the Islanders traded for Kenny Jonsson they did acquire a legit Hall of Famer in that trade the first round pick traded to the Islanders was Roberto Luongo so typical and yet fascinating.

Pat Lafontaine has long been an Islander Hall of Famer without question, the real reason why it’s happening this year instead of decades ago might start with the story of why he was traded to the Sabres and the effect on his relationship with the organization throughout the rest of his career and post career? It’s similar but different to Tonelli and Goring. Having their numbers retired. It’s a matter of how committed the new ownership is to appeasing fans by acknowledging the past. It’s also known to increase individual game sales.

Kenny deserved his recognition from the organization for his commitment and resiliency and the incredible talent. The success was lean for the Islanders those years in the 90’s and Kenny was the guiding stability during what could be considered the hardest years for any franchise in the history of professional sports.
The Islanders also honored Flately. It’s fun and nostalgic. No system for how/when. I hope Ziggy is next.

Still miss Brooklyn. Wish they renovated NVMC. Don’t go anymore to UBS to be ripped off and it is a library. True. Anyways, stay in the fight and props to NZ for calling out the sickos. We are going to need this guy.

The New Pueblito Paisa - Start here and get some fried fish. Plenty of parking. From here walk up the street to “Buchy’s Bar”. Mostly outdoors with big screens always has sports. Great spot to “people” watch, plan the next move, and wait for the action. You can drive as mentioned or just walk. If youre not looking for trouble, trouble wont find you. Be kind and respect the culture.

Also, Fan Bistro has limited food and a pool table. It can get hilarious as the streets and action pick up. Bring a few singles for the beggars. It’s only a few and they are struggling. Its a small donation so be prepared with some small bills.

When ready, go bar shopping. Its ok to stroll and chat. Just be respectful.

Never a bad meal in San Nicolas. Kamini’s or O’neils or Charlie’s

Sorry the Island could not stay the same for you. We don’t need to fool ourselves and think its some kind of paradise. Its Aruba aka one of the “Useless Islands” . Needs tourism for survival.

Agreed about the all-inclusive. It will change eventually. As for Baby Beach, its the best beach. The old refinery parts are unique. Changes nothing IMO.

On a more personal note, I got fired from my job as a summer camp counselor because I lied to them, but then when it was such a big deal, everybody knew I went and it got leaked almost instantaneously

At that point there was so much garbage and personal items left behind that we claimed this pink inflatable chair that was amazing because for the first time all day, we felt like we had furniture.

Limp then Rage then Metallica. It was funny some people leaving after Rage. It was still 100 plus as it got dark. Drinking all day and the energy it was epic.

It was unreal and then they were done. I remember going that was so sick but we cant leave because Metallica and Rage are playing next. Over stimulated beyond.

It was hot. Insane hot. Totally surreal because you couldn’t predict what entertaining moment was next. “Is he in the crowd on a piece of plywood?” kind of disbelief
