We followed the trail for a very short time and glanced down into the ravine where we could barely spot the green sign and fence around the bottom of the tree. There was no easy way to get down to see it, so we just got down there the best we could. It is truly an amazing tree.

This building is an old school and The…read moreVillage of Mineola bought it many year's ago to house the village offices as well as the small auditorium that is used for the monthly board meetings and hearings. They have also set up video to be able to broadcast from this room. The best part is the large multi-purpose room that can be used as a gym or meeting center. Our senior clubs hold their meetings there as well as our many civic groups taking advantage of the large room and stage. The Kiwanis Club of County Seat Mineola held their annual pancake breakfast there for many years until moving to the High School. There is ample room to house hundreds as well as the stage the could be used for entertainment. There is also a small kitchen in the building. The kitchen is small but is a good staging area. Large events will need to be catered in. There was also a recent lobby and entrance renovation. Hanging on the lobby wall is the John S. DaVanzo "wall of honor" saluting the many past people who did a wonderful job shaping Mineola into the great village and community it is today. Its great to be part of a community that is so community minded.

Baller shot caller see me on the N4 playing I don't know…read moreya. I'm a fan of Rockville Centre, big fan, huge. MY N4 bus passes through here on Merrick road which runs parallel to Sunrise highway. It's about two villages away from where I stay and I'm almost certain it's where it all goes down! With pubs, restaurants, lounges, fashion, grocery stores and coffee house on almost every square inch of every block you're sure to find what you need here in the RVC as it's fondly called. Hey it's a busy "village" with a LIT nightlife. Want more info? Check out IG and snapshot on a Friday evening. (Just wrote this review 6/Aug/2017 while passing through on the N4 bus, how sway) The End

Hello Yelp Family, Welcome to RVC (or) Rockville Centre, Long Island, NY. When folks across the…read moreworld think of Long Island, they picture Montauk Point's Beaches and movie stars, rural farmlands dotted with horses, apple orchards, roadside Farm stands, home-baked pies and fields painted orange by thousands of pumpkins. Well, folks that is NOT Rockville Centre. RVC is a large Metropolis, alive with business and commerce. But this Big Town has a small community feel. Many large companies have made their homes in Rockville Centre. The thousands of folk who work here need some good food and great places to relax. Rockville Centre has been exceptional at filling the dining and entertainment niche, there are just so many great places to enjoy and bring your family. Many small towns on Long Island just have one or two main streets that restaurants and nightlife will be situated. RVC is a paradise of night life and restaurants, with not just one Avenue but a myriad streets, where dozens of Night Clubs, Restaurants and Bars are alive and rocking. Some of my favorite places in Rockville Centre are Tum Thai, Frank's Steaks, Thai table, Foo Asian Bistro, Cabo. My list could go on for pages. I'm on a tear now discovering RVC. I'll be posting pictures and reviewing the neighborhoods venues. You'll see me in RVC. JIM D.

Worth going out to Flushing for…read more I was the only person on an excellent docent-led tour which lasted approximately 45 minutes. She was well-informed, conversational, and taught me a lot about something that I knew very little about on my arrival. I am a more informed New Yorker because of it. Bowne's house and family history are interesting, complicated, and hopeful - with lessons still (unfortunately) applicable today. Highly recommended.

John Bowne (1657-1695) was a Peaceful Warrior for Religious Freedoms…read more John Bowne was a English Quaker immigrant. Who came to Flushing in 1661 searching for a place to worship without fear or intimidation. Hi everyone and welcome to historical Flushing New York. Flushing is a very old town indeed. Everywhere you look are towering Oak and pine trees hundreds of years old. Some of the buildings also stretch back into inntiquity. Straight back to our Native American caretakers. My grandmother would tell me the way Flushing was at one time, a different community. With a totally different vibe but still a vibrant diverse community. Flushing during grandmother's time , was complete with Dance halls, restaurants & department stores. But one thing remains constant in Flushing, religious freedom. Flushing was founded by those who were religiously persecuted. Our American ancestors were brave souls who traveled 1000 miles on Wooden Ships put together with hope, spit and tar. This harrowing Journey would take place on vessels without modern conveniences, navigation or guarantee of safe arrival. These huddled masses of religious pioneers came to our country to find a place where they could find their path to "The House of God". To search for a place to live and worship, a land without bigotry, repression, or fear. This was the path that John Bowne traveled. His family came to live in this small wooden house just steps from my own. I would pass this common little structure during is renovations. And learned of its former inhabitants. A tangible station of the Underground Railroad. The John Bowne house is surrounded by beautiful fruit bearing trees and birds that sing as if John and his family still lived here. 9 generations of John Bowne's Family Lived and spread the word of God and religious freedom from under this roof. In 1945 the structure and property were donated to "The Bowne Historical Society." In 1657 The Flushing Remonstrance petitioned Flushing's ruling Dutch government to permit religious freedoms and allow the practice of the Quaker worship. The Flushing Remonstrance petition is believed to be the Cornerstone of our American religious freedoms guaranteed in our Bill of Rights. Wow, who knew? People are allowed to worship in here in the United States in the manner we choose because of the vision and dreams and prayers. That traveled into the heavens from this small humble plot. I very much recommend reading the other reviews posted concerning this site, as they will contain additional information. Thanks again for stopping by folks. My grandmother would always tell me.. "There are many paths to the house of God". JIM D

The negative is that the play area for toddlers is not self contained , so our toddler of course wanted to walk around the corridor and go out.
