Whoa whoa, first of all, Long Island is not part of the city or most definitely, not part of upstate New York. Furthermore, there is a huge difference between Nassau and Suffolk, North shore and South shore. The Hamptons are basically a separate entity altogether. Billy Joel said it best: either you date a rich girl from the North Shore or a cool girl from the South shore. Except North Shore girls are actually cooler...but South shore beaches are the best (Robert Moses field 4!). We live for the summers...beer bqs and the beach. People who hate Long Island are just jealous. Who wouldn't want to live on the water, have a gorgeous house, and drive a sweet car. We can go to NYC whenever we want (even though we never do). We could probably single handedly support Abercrombie, Polo, and Lily Pullitzer. Long Island is far superior to everywhere else.
Long island is the breeding ground for gorgeous girls, hot guys, nice cars, and fabulous beaches.

Island that extends from Queens to Suffolk County. Covers a large area of multicultural mixes. Suffolk County contains more than just the Hamptons and is not all rich or all poor. It is south and east of NYC. Although two parts of NYC are on the island the whole island is not part of the city. That is like saying Disneyworld is all of Forida, or Boston is the only city in MA.

However it does have the world's Biggest parking lot commonly known as the LIE.

Also some LIers are from NYC but not all and all LIers are New Yorkers.
1: Oh where are you from?

2: Long Island

1: Isn't it dangerous there in the city?

2: I wouldn't know I'm from Suffolk County.

1: Oh the Hamptons.

2: No they are an hour away.

1: Oh. Where are you?

2: Here.

1: Never heard of it.

2: Well it is part of Long Island.

Part of the suburban NY-NJ-CT metropolitan area of 19,000,000 people. Levi town was one of the first incorporated suburbs in the 1940's after the depression and WWII. Now it is primarily dominated by Guido's and Japs. Very segregated compared to other parts of the country I came to realize after living in Florida which

happens to way out as being a little too diverse for me. Many rich wealthy obnoxious towns, many poor ghetto working class towns but overall mostly middle class suburban towns with families. Pretty safe for being in such a populated place. The city is very accessible usually anywhere from 20 minutes to 2 hours. Look to buy a

house prepare to spend $500,000 or more for a decent looking home in a nice community. Schools are pretty good and the kids are mostly spoiled or live at home until they are 30 like on VH1'S Frank The Entertainer in a Basement Affair.

To all of you who are dissing Long Island:

You guys have absolutely no idea what you are talking about! Not all of Long Island is rural, in fact, little of it is. And not all parts of Long Island are wealthy, either. My family happens to be middle-class. I go to public school, and don't live in a rich neighborhood. Long Island is also home to some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. And to whoever said that Long Island is absoultely no where near New York City, please get your facts straight. I live one hour away from the city - that sure is far, yeahh. ::rolls eyes::
Long Island is an awesome place to be, and don't diss it until you have seen how nice it is!!

1. A small overpopulated land infested with rich assholes. It is known for their grossly overvalued property, overstuffed beaches, and highly congested traffic. The byproduct that this biological infestation gives off seems to be in the form of kick ass bagels and amazing pizza.

2. An over hyped densely populated diamond encrusted plastic turd.
"Driving into Long island is horrific. But, oh my god, the pizza..."
