You know you're from Long Island when you think Mastic Beach is the hood. The rest of the country would never think so.

Soft White Underbelly/BOC has them beat by a year or two.

Nonetheless, great band.

The Long Island music scene was awesome. I tell people about how many clubs and bands and most people can’t believe it.

I can't believe this thread is over 10 years old.

I actually wrote the original list of reasons you know you're from Long Island about 20 years ago...just about all of the reasons in the first post are ones on my original list.

I happened to come across this when doing a search for McCluskey's Steak House in Bellmore. Amazing, I just had to say something.

I saw it once on a Man vs Food episode … not @ Krisch's but that dessert. Looks crazy!
