Can you suggest some areas on Long Island where I can buy a condo or a townhome for about $300,000 to $350,000? We are looking for a two bed room. The other parameter is a reasonable train commute to NYC's financial district. Thank you for all your help.

I would concentrate on co-ops and condos in Great Neck #1 (most options, easiest commute). Maybe also Garden City and Mineola. Huntington is also a good option.
Bayside? Nice schools , lots to do and a family-type place and low low taxes.
Low taxes are relative. They would be paying city income tax of around 4% as well a much higher auto and home insurance. Plus, the schools are ok, one of the better in the city, but who knows what that means.

Bayside elementary schools are pretty good. The only problem is, as with ALL of the city schools, once the kids get to Junior High, all bets are off. Eleven year olds must take admittance tests and there are just not enough spaces in even half-way decent schools for all of the very lovely and hard-working (but not politically connnected) kids in the city. It is so unfair. So many kids are condemned to an impoverished future because of this. I have seen this over and over again. It's heartbreaking.
