We have been season ticket holders since the beginning of Argyle Theater. We appreciated the email of steps Argyle Theater was taking as precautionary measures due to concerns about the coronavirus. Ushers were offering alcohol wipes to all to use in addition to the additional sanitizing steps that the theater was doing before and after the performances. Fortunately since the theater is still in the early stages of growth, there are still sufficient empty seats for use to separate yourself from others. It is fabulous to see the effort that is going into keeping the theater functional as an avenue for all to utilize during this outbreak. As for the performances, each one has been fabulous, directed with such professionalism, and the actors and actresses of well seasoned performers and you can see their experience during the shows. We have just bought our third season pass for the new season of performances and encourage all to do the same. Buy a ticket for Cabaret, which was outstanding Friday night, and ask if you can apply the cost toward the next season performances.

I got off at the wrong train station in my route to West Islip. I called Babylon Taxi and the driver was there within seconds. He answer the phone like a pirate and plead the underground Garage on his Sirius Radio as well as some obscure rock and roll classics. The ride went smooth and got me to my destination on time I even made an extra stop at the 7-Eleven when you had other fares afterwards. I never knew taxis were up-to-date like they are at Babylon taxi and Airport Service and I will continue to use this company as long as I live on Long Island.

Gilgo Beach

Reviewed By laurabF3899KO - Levittown, United States

I am a life long Long Islander and have been to about every beach on this island. Gilgo Beach is the absolute best, hands down. Drive in or dock your boat. Clean water and white sand, lifeguards at close intervals that are very helpful and will personally advise you of rip tides and strong undertows throughout the day, which is a plus for those of us with young kids. PERFECT BOOGIE BOARDING AND SURFING BEACH! There is a cabana for beach necessities and to rent umbrellas, boogie boards, surf boards, and chairs as well as purchase souvenirs. The shells on Gilgo Beach are different from any of the surrounding beaches... tiny white & pink perfectly shaped and and work beautifully for crafting! There are plenty of trash receptacles to keep the sand free of refuse. Warm water showers for rinsing off the salt and sand before you get in the car or boat. There is a snack shop with made to order burgers, dogs, chicken, fries, snacks & ice cream as well as a full bar for the adults. Non resident parking is a little expensive at $30 per day, but free before 8 am and after 4 pm. Honestly, it’s worth every penny, as this hidden jewel is not to be missed.

Reviewed By Silverpal - Baldwin, United States

Took my two grandsons (7 and 10) and they had a wonderful time. The boat is clean, and the crew is terrific - friendly, helpful and very patient. My younger grandson who does have some issues with sea sickness had no problem at all. We caught fluke, but unfortunately no keepers. We had a great time.
