LOCATION INFO:
The train to Manhattan is about a three minute walk. When buying tickets, select “Other Tickets – City Tickets – Off Peak” for the NYC discount price ($5). If travelling to or from Manhattan (Penn Station) during rush hour then it is City Ticket Peak. The train to Manhattan (Penn Station) is approximately 30 – 37 min and it is a nice ride.
Next to the train station is a lovely bakery and coffee shop.
You can also take the Q36 bus to Northern Blvd, it stops right around the corner, it’s about one minute ride, it costs $2.75 and you can pay with a card.
Northern Boulevard is the main hub here and it is about a five minute walk to most places there, including:
Marathon Food Shop – amazing deli
Little Neck Pharmacy & Drug Store
Chase Bank
Post Office
Library
J Mart Supermarket
Polo Deli (open late)
All Star Wine & Liquor
There is also CVS, Dunkin Donuts, 7-11, 24 hour McDonalds and a host of great eateries. Menus for some of my favorites are here in this book. For a quick affordable fix, Toskana Pizza, ACE Bagels, and Great Wok Chinese are all excellent. If you visit one restaurant while here, I highly recommend Il Bacco, a ~5 min walk.
You truly don’t need a car here. But if you have one, you can travel easily to;
-Rockaway Beach
-Jones Beach
-Robert Moses Beach
-Sands Point Nature Preserve – beach, hiking and historic mansion
-Miracle Mile Luxury Shopping in Manhasset
Just two stops west on the Long Island Railroad is Bell Boulevard, a legendary Queens mecca of restaurants and bars. Tons of great spots here! My favorites are Bourbon Street and Spanglish.
If you fancy a ~20 minute walk west down Northern Boulevard, there is a great golf spot with bar and lounge and also Alley Pond Park and Nature Center, they are across the street from each other.
And of course, Manhattan is just 13 miles away.
