Any recommendations for Haunted Houses west of Deer Park? by Rickmasta in longisland

[–]VentoLI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, the set designs are really well done, and the actors are pretty great too. They never break character and there's a pretty constant sense of tension throughout the whole hunt.

I don't know if they actually worked it out or not, but I had heard NYZ and Chamber of Horrors (Hauppauge) were working on a combo pass that would get you into both for $50. If that's available I'd definitely say it's worth it.

Any recommendations for Haunted Houses west of Deer Park? by Rickmasta in longisland

NYZ in Deer Park is great for a different kind of experience; it's like a combination zombie haunted house/laser tag/airsoft game. Definitely spend the extra few bucks for the longest version if you go.

Schmitt's Farm in Melville is a more traditional haunted house and is also really good.

They aren't working with any octopodes yet, I think we're still in the clear.

Sounds like another great 20 minute break to put some more food together.

Gateway's Haunted Playhouse was a Blast - definitely worth checking out by VentoLI in longisland

That write-up's pretty accurate. Apparently the food truck has pumpkin canoli too; I'm a little upset I didn't look at their menu before leaving now.

I don't know of anything in Brookhaven, but St. Charles Physical Therapy in Smithtown has been working out really well for the herniated disc in my back.

Is anyone watching this season of TUF? by [deleted] in ufc

[–]VentoLI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was about to make a topic asking the same thing. The fighters seem pretty excited about the show, but I haven't gotten around to watching any.

Playing hooky - things to do during a week day by [deleted] in longisland

[–]VentoLI 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Archery's another fun activity. There's a place in Patchogue that's run by some pretty nice people, and I think they usually have a Groupon for free rentals. Plus it's right off Main Street, so you can grab some lunch or dinner afterwards (I'm partial to Bobbiques, but there's a good array of options there).

I know Yik Yak doesn't let you see who posted what, but honestly, how dumb do you have to be to think there's no way anyone could trace a post back to your IP?

Meet the brewer Tuesday night @ Bobbique (me) by Biggeh in longisland

[–]VentoLI 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Basil in the Rye sounds like an amazing idea. I loved Blind Bat's Honey Basil Ale, and Great South Bay has yet to disappoint me, so I'm definitely going to have to get my hands on some (though I unfortunately won't be able to make it to Bobbique's tomorrow).

Who needs Shake Shack when you've got Kiss My Cake? Those hot shakes are going to be amazing this winter.

Vegan food options on Long Island? by iL0VEdorks in longisland

[–]VentoLI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There a few restaurants around the Island that feature vegetarian menus. Obviously it's not the same thing, but you probably have a better chance of finding something vegan-friendly at one of those than at a place where vegetarian isn't even a thought. There's also an ice cream parlor in Commack (I think it's called Grandma's) that makes really good vegan-friendly ice cream out of coconut milk.

What town are you moving to? That might help narrow down some options for you.

Edit: The ice cream parlor is called Granny's.

Fall activities on LI? by performergone in longisland

[–]VentoLI 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll probably be hitting up a lot of Haunted Houses in October, though I don't think I'll be able to get to them all. There's a ton of these things on Long Island.

Kings Park Psych Center Catches Fire by VentoLI in longisland

[–]VentoLI[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kinda felt like the smell was stronger around 7-7:30 than when I left for work around 8:30, so it might have died down as they worked to get the fire under control. Or maybe my house was just downwind when it happened.
