Where does Western Long Island end and Eastern Long Island start? (Huntington: living in, restaurants)

[John9l0]

I always thought of nicolls being the beginning of eastern LI.

[atypicalLIer]

I voted for Rte 112

[sean sean sean sean]

I can't believe how many people voted for 110 hahah

I voted for William Floyd Parkway because of the geography, but now that John9l0 mentions it Nicolls Road might make more sense.

Eastern Suffolk starts at the William Floyd IMO.

tell that to the phone company

You now what, sean sean Nicolls is an interesting take.
It may be the end of Western.

But if we are to consider Central I donk know

110 is delusional.
Something tells me these people havent been outside their Levitt capes since 1965.

I'm shocked that there's that much island east of that, anytime I head out to the North Fork or Montauk I always think "oh sweet, I'm almost there" right around that location.

As far as the (somewhat) cultural dividing line? I guess I'd put it around there.....I've always thought once you pass 231 or the entrance for the Robert Moses Causeway you're "out east" but looking at a map thats too ridiculous. It's honestly way too hard to say, too many different areas. South Fork/North Fork/Town of Brookhaven are nothing alike.....that messes it up. I remember the first time I went out to Splish Splash it seemed like driving to another state, and I think it actually is much further away than Connecticut from where I live.

Growing up in Babylon, I always thought the ends of the SSP and NSP were kind of the "end of the road". I guess that's pretty close to 111. Anything past there was like another world.

I'm sure you realize that for many people in Nassau and even western suffolk (especially those who commute to NYC), the "central" part of LI is basically "flyover" country.

Im sure you realize that many Eastern LI residents consider Nassau or Up Island to be the same.


I really dont think anyone could really consider Brookhaven as "flyover" country.

I was thinking more of the thousands of people on their way to the city who dont even stop for a pee break in Nassau.

Stop being silly
