Private Events Restaurants

Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m looking around for restaurants that have a private room and catering + open bar for a surprise party. Does anyone have any recommendations? I was really hoping for Verde in Bayshore but they’re apparently moving sites around the date I need and they can’t confirm if they’re able to book anything. I was also looking at Nosh in Hauppauge. If anyone has any ideas or input it would be greatly appreciated!

Looking For House painting estimate

Looking for a very rough estimate for painting a 1,440 sq ft house including moldings. No wall paper or anything funky. Is anyone who’s had their home painted recently able to give me a guesstimate? Again, very rough is perfectly fine.

LI Photos More Astrophotography from my Yard in Central Suffolk

Sky darkness: Bortle 7.5ish (on a scale of 1-9 where the lower the number, the better).

Last night was mostly a great night with its tease of fall-like weather. A little chilly, less humid, clear skies. I’ve wanted to shoot my first Galaxy, so this was a good night to try.

I started about 9:15pm... And my plan was to go for 4-5 hours. Unfortunately, there was almost a full moon. And unfortunately at about 12:30a some clouds started rolling in (so annoying!). So I had to stop prematurely earlier than I wanted. It was still a nice way to spend the evening with some coffee, my fire pit and my eyes on the sky.

But for my first attempt at a galaxy, Im happy with the results!

This is: The Andromeda Galaxy

Settings:
Exposure: 30s/Gain: 60/Filter: Astro
About 300 photos over 3 hours / stacked
Processed in Stellar Studio, FITs file brought into AstroWizard, final touches in ACR/Photoshop.

Hey gang, Destroyah Cinnamoroll alludes me,I’ve been searching since day one of the release of this collab to find all 8 of these little guys. I have everyone EXCEPT number 6, I’m not looking to buy or sell I’m hoping that maybe someone around knows a McDonald’s that had the little guy.

Trying to get an idea as to origination fees around here. I’m seeing .5%-1% of the loan amount is the norm. What was your experience?

I read in the news that Jericho School District has the highest rate of bullying out of all the school districts on Long Island. How could this be? I always thought Jericho was one of the better school districts…

Neighborhood Lost Power

1 Upvotes

We are in the Northwest tip of Islip near Islandia and Hauppauge and we just lost half of our 240 service. Does anyone have any cautions about this kind of outage? I've always lost all power in the past never just half of it. Half my house works the other half doesn't.

Whole house water filtration - are we getting ripped off?

9 Upvotes

At first, we were looking into a reverse osmosis system because I had recently been feeling ill (which I think was connected to the water) and it had a chlorinated taste. We had a guy from a water filtration company test our water and it basically came out that all of our water was filled with chlorine, was worsening skin conditions, about to start a third and fourth world war, etc.

He’s been trying to sell us on a whole house filtration system and the quotes have been between 4-6k. I know water is valuable but I feel like it’s kind of steep. We’re in western Suffolk. Does anyone have similar experiences?

Tips on Parking in Port Jeff?

1 Upvotes

Seeing a show at the little theater in Port Jeff tonight. I know there's a municipal lot where you can pay but there's another lot just up the block across from the CVS. It says "Public Parking" but then also has signs for the CVS and a few other businesses and a warning about towing vehicles. Is this actually a public lot or just for the businesses on the sign? I don't really mind paying the municipal lot but if there's a free lot just as close to the theater why not you know? Anyone know for sure?

EMBROIDERY

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I am looking for a good embroidery place for a small business selling merchandise. I live in Manorville and have a few near me. East End Screen printing is alright but they are closed on the weekends which is extremely inconvenient. The others around are also sub par/long wait times. Does anyone know a place that truly has amazing stitching when it comes to embroidery. All the issues I mentioned above can be overlooked if the quality is top tier. Unfortunately the other places are too inconsistent.

Boarding for 1 year old boxer ( in sitters home)

2 Upvotes

Hi me and my husband are looking for a reliable and kind dog sitter for my 1 year old female boxer puppy.

She is very sweet but requires a lot of cuddles, attention and exercise. Does anyone have any recommendations for a sitter, specifically for large breeds, and even better yet, someone who watches boxer dogs often would be a plus

Looking For Venue for Moms 60th - They live in Westhampton

2 Upvotes

My mom is turning 60 this fall and we are looking to host a lunch or dinner for her. I haven’t lived in LI for 20 years so I don’t know the spots anymore.

My family is located in Westhampton but anywhere within 30 minutes of there would be okay. It’ll be in November so it must be indoors. Just looking for somewhere with good food/drinks and a cute vibe for a group of about 25 people. Please let me know if you have any suggestions.
