Gem Spa at St. Mark's Place and Second is a 24-hour convenience store that sells magazines, cigarettes and authentic New York-style egg creams.
The University and Lackmann offer California Pizza Kitchen as one of the many dining options on-campus, but some students may wonder if this CPK is anything like an off-campus CPK.
www.Urbandictionary.com defines the term "Hofstra squirt" as "When you eat Hofstra food for more than two days in a row. And at unexpected times you try to fart and it feels wet. You feel like you may have shat yourself but maybe not...Upon further inspection you realize that you squirted a little bit out of your asshole. But not enough to leave the cheeks it doesn't get on your boxers but it still sucks. Hofstra red is not real. The Hofstra Squirt is...for sure".
The smell of stewed goat and freshly prepared fish fills the air. On the TV, commercials play in an unfamiliar French dialect. Colorful local artwork lines the wall, most of it for sale. Like most restaurants in area, bodegas, hair salons, and pool halls surround it. The Creole Buffet on Uniondale Avenue was exactly what I was looking for.

The KFC Double Down should make you very upset. When you look at its two massive pieces of fried chicken used as bread to sandwich pieces of bacon, monterey and pepper jack cheese and something orange and tangy called "Colonel's sauce" you should feel nauseated and ashamed.
The stereotype about being in college is that all meals need to be either eaten in an on-campus facility or out of a Styrofoam cup with yellow tinted noodles and freeze dried vegetables. At first, I can't say I disagreed with this stereotype, but over time I developed a sense of love for the kitchen, and since then have taken pride in being able to make myself a delicious dinner with not a lot of hassle.
There's nothing more unappetizing than walking into an eating establishment that looks like a hallway, rather than a dining room. The word unappetizing pretty much sums up the majority of my eating experience at Calagero's in Garden City, with a few dim exceptions. Calagero's presents itself as a fine Italian dining experience, with fairly overpriced dishes and a very plain interior, which is most likely because they want you to pay less attention to the walls and more attention to their delicious cuisine. Adding a few paintings and ambiance to Calagero's couldn't hurt if that is their intention, because the food they are serving is not much to pay attention to.
Restaurants in Garden City are surrounded by constant competition. The diversity of food in the area has grown over the past several years, and a majority of these places belong in the "great" category or the "not-so-great" category. Jin East, on Franklin Avenue right in the center of Garden City, unfortunately falls into neither of these categories. But I don't necessarily find that to be a bad thing. I wouldn't call Jin East not-so-great, but I wouldn't call it great either. I found Jin East to be outstandingly average, but it was the outstanding part that would keep me going back.
You either love or hate Valentine's Day, often depending on the status of your love life. But, what really should be the reason for the holiday's bad feelings is the negative effect all of those chocolate hearts and boxes of truffles have on your health.
The warm and inviting atmosphere inside Grimaldi's could make anyone feel like they're at home. No matter how cold it may be outside, inside the doors at Grimaldi's is a cozy environment where any kind of request would be met by the smiling servers, without even a fraction of a thought.
The atmosphere inside Mumon in Garden City, which opened in January of 2009, is incredibly peaceful. Almost uncomfortably quiet, but it has enough movement around it that it doesn't feel like being inside a raw fish cave. This trendy environment, although mildly enjoyable at face value, has some issues that go far beyond the interior decorating.
