Time for Thai

Sometimes a craving for something special takes over and while burgers, pizza, and pasta are all wonderful choices, deep down inside, we may want to go for something a tad more exotic. Thai food is almost always in demand. That’s because most of us wouldn’t say “no” to some delicious coconut shrimp, aromatic yellow curry, and delicate Pad Tai. So when the mood is right and the tummy is rumbling, check out the finger licking cuisine options served up at Thai Angel.

Valentine's Day Ideas For Everyone in Patchogue

In a week, we get to celebrate love. Now, just to be clear, Valentine’s Day isn’t about romantic love alone. It’s about the love you can have for anyone you deem worthy, such as your pets, friends, and, of course, family!

A celebration of love can be a big or small affair, so naturally, it all depends on how you roll.

If the latter option is more of what you were thinking, you should definitely check out Le Soir.

Happy Antique Hunting in Patchogue!

Let’s face it, moving into a new luxurious apartment is a life changing experience, it actually feels kind of epic. Why? Because a new apartment is usually synonymous with a new beginning, and a new beginning usually requires some redecorating. Now, New Village is a pretty hooked up space. It features a gorgeous pool, plenty of social recreation areas and a fitness center; so when it comes to apartment decorating, most residents can skip a home fitness center, unless of course they are plagued by some type of public workout phobia, and shelling out bucks for a super swanky kitchen is pretty much unnecessary.

Trading Coffees and Teas

The quaint and easily navigable coffee shop (located less than 10 minutes away from New Village apartments) is a microroaster that uses mostly premium single origin beans from several countries.

The delicious and massive 10oz patty of Angus beef, covered in melted cheese, caramelized Vidalia onions, smoky bacon, served with a loose pile of fries, and coleslaw looks like something Shrek would have trouble eating.
