26 Things You Recognize If You're From Commack, New York

If you're from Commack, New York you definitely know all of these places. To all my friends who are currently in college like myself, I'm sure you miss this town...even just a bit...maybe.

Applebees

You know, the one by Target on Veterans Memorial Highway. The place where you see basically everyone from your high school on a Friday or Saturday night for some half off app’s.

Bagel Chalet;

Best bagel place EVER. No questions on that.

Candlelight Diner

I was debating whether Premier Diner or Candlelight Diner was better... I came to a realization, that A LOT of people where I went to high school go to candlelight dinner after a school event.

Dunkin Donuts

I always need my medium iced coffee with 7 pumps of caramel and half and half before my day starts as well as a bacon, egg, and cheese on a croissant.

Emilio's Pizzeria

Okay okay, every pizza place in Commack is so good but there’s just something about Emilio’s Pizzeria that makes the pizza bomb.com.

Friendly's

Ice cream? Friendly's. Apps after 8 instead of waiting till 10 for Applebees? Friendly’s. A place that was popular for the middle school kids back in like…2011? Friendly’s.


Greek Village Restaurant

A Greek Salad is amazing from here especially pita bread with the tzatziki sauce.

Harned Road

If you live in Commack South, you definitely know this road.

Izumi

Best hibachi place with the best sushi, duh.

Jericho Turnpike

The busiest road in the afternoon that we try to avoid…but can’t, unfortunately.

King Kullen

Ya know, the one where sports authority used to be, the one near Miller’s Ale House and Target.

LIE

Wanna get to Montauk? Take the LIE.

Millers Ale House

Best place to go with friends on a Friday or Saturday night … personally, there nachos are to die for but that’s just my opinion.

North East Dance Academy

I grew up dancing here and now my two sisters and cousin dance here so I’m supportive of this dance studio!

Outback Steakhouse

Best blooming onion everrrrr.

Plaster Funcraft

Childhood? DUH! Come on girls, we definitely had a birthday party here when we were little or at least have been here for a friends birthday!

Where to get your medicine or even scratch off’s.


Spare Rib

The restaurant across from Friendly’s/ Bar Louie.

Where girls get makeup and other beauty products to look good, of course.

Vanco Pharmacy

Commack South area right next to North Shore Farms.

Wendy’s

X-cellant School District

We’re a blue ribbon school of excellence. Commack had the highest Regents Diploma rate of all comprehensive Suffolk County Districts. Ninety-five percent of its graduating seniors went to colleges of their choice.

The best froyo around with great toppings.

nyZ Apocalypse

StableDiffusion

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.
