Great Neck is an "area" on Long Island which is geographically shaped as a peninsula and is divided into many villages in order to maintain a strict building code which keeps home prices high. Great Neck is the first suburb on the north shore of Long Island outside of New York City. Great Neck is predominatly a Jewish neighborhood with a high percentage of Persian Jews. There is also a large number of Asain-americans and young professionals. The culture of Great Neck is one which is very unique to itself, there is a significant amount of wealth, much of which is concentrated in Kings Point, which is the northern most village in Great Neck and has essentially the most desirable real estate. This area is also recognized as "West Egg" in F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby, which also accuratly portrays the area even in todays terms.
The spectrum of automboiles in Great Neck is also one of a kind, exotic cars from all makes can be spotted throughout the peninsula. Middle Neck/Lakeville Road is the lifeline of the area which cuts straight through the middle of the peninsula and has access to a majority of the villages.
In Great Neck, there is a high excess of police officers. Between Nassau County, Kings Point, Kensington and Great Neck Estates Police, the area is under close survalence. Though there is essentially zero crime, except for white colar offenses, and minor teenage drug dealers.
The central-town area of Great Neck has a broad range of shops and restaurnts, but many establishments are unable to open in the area because of the strict codes. For example: a McDonalds could not be opened because of the potential crowd it could invite. Because of its close proximity to New York City, Great Neck is also a commuter city with buses running frequently and a highly used Long Island Rail Road stop which allows direct access to Penn Station/NYC.
Great Neck is also known for its prestigious school system, which its high schools anually rank in the top 50 of the United States best high schools.
Overall , Great Neck is a wealthy suburb/commuter area with a diverse crowd of people. Becuase of its high costs the town is well manicured and due to its geography it is isolated from other parts of New York which makes it a very unique place that would be either loved or despised by anyone who encounters it.

While standing on Middle Neck road in Great Neck, I noticed a ridiculous amount of Range Rovers and S550's passing between Gino's Pizzaria and Squire Cinemas.

Get the Panty Grease mug.In the movie "Ocean's Eleven", Yen was a 95 pound "little chinese guy", who worked as an acrobat in a Las Vegas show. He was so flexible that he could fold in half and fit in a very small tube in a portable safe. At the time of the robbery this is how he got into the vault of the casino. He got in, and therefore they called him the greaseman.

Get the greaseman mug.A tournament which includes teams of 3, a 30 case of beer, an 1/8 of weed, a large pizza, and a 500 piece puzzle. First team to finish all 4 wins!
It is important that all supplies are from the same place
i.e pizza from the same hut
weed from the same dealer
same brand of beer
same puzzle
otherwise others might have an unfair advantage.
All team members must start attempting to finish all obstacles at the same time. For instance, you cannot finish the puzzle then start drinking. Or have one team member focus on smoking and another on eating.
Have fun!!

Get the Great American Race mug.The SNES, maybe the most beloved console of all time. Despite it's rival produced by Sega (Which was also a legendary console), the SNES was boosted above legendary status by classic games such as FF3, Chrono Trigger, the Donkey Kong Trilogy, F-Zero, the Mario titles it carried, and of course, The Legend of Zelda-Link's Awakening.
While it was a hot item in it's time, it has now been spread around the internet for free in the form of emulators, and the games have been converted into roms. This adds to the legacy the SNES left behind of being the most playable and memory-laden projects undertaken by a gaming company.

Despite all the other legendary consoles (And those that are to come in the future), the SNES will always have it's own place in the world of gaming.
