East Islip: Food Edition

Growing up in East Islip meant some of the most addictive restaurants. Casual, fast food, dine in, or take out: In the neighboring towns of Islip Terrace and Islip, cravings were on every street. Call up your friends. You're gonna want to go get dinner after reading this!

1. Gios Pizza

Every classroom party or club pizza sale filled the halls with the deliciously familiar smell of melted cheese and sauce. Your mouth would already be watering when you handed over your 2 dollars to the club adviser.

2. Bubba's Burrito Bar

The Brotato. The Guilt Trip. The MASSIVE Burritos probably had you sick before you finished yours, and you loved every second of it. It was totally worth the two hour wait and fifty phone calls (until you got a car and realized it was ten times faster to just go pick it up yourself).

3. Friendly's

Not a local business, but in middle school this was the place to go. Looking back now I am not sure why we felt so cool.


4. O-co-nee Diner

If you lived here, it was only referred to as "the diner" or "Oconee." It was the place where you saw your teachers after concerts, or met up for late night appetizer runs.


5. Chicken Bacon Bomber

You probably had the deli who you swore made it "the best." You definitely knew somebody who ran to the BT Express Deli down the road from the High School in between classes.

6. Stanley's Bakery

Everybody has a sweet tooth! Whether it be your morning doughnuts, or a birthday cake, Stanley was the place to get your fix.



7. Irish Coffee Pub

One of the gems of East Islip. Special events are extra delicious when you celebrate here!



8. Taco Bell

We will wait on line at midnight for food just to feel sick after...and repeat every weekend....



9. Jackson Hall

Have you tried their mac and cheese? Go. Try. It. Right now.


10. Hometown Cafe

The dining area may be small, but the portion sizes aren't. Plus you will always find a regular sitting around chatting, making the atmosphere all about community.

11. ALL THE ITALIAN

Since writing Gio's, I just kept thinking about TONS of pizza places like Mary's, Pizza Parm, Francesco's and Mulberry Street. You can order a full Italian dinner, or your favorite specialty pie and NEVER be disappointed. What's not to love about melted cheese and pasta?



I think it is time for dinner! Where will you be ordering from tonight?

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
