Riverhead

Riverhead has some nice places, but most of it, especially near downtown and the train station is full of criminals and poverty and alot of illegals.

Riverhead is a huge town, about an hour and a half away from NYC on the eastern end of LI. River head is small part rural farm, small part village/cityish, part ghetto, part along the peconic river. The tanger outlets are here (as is the ONLY PHOTOBOOTH on long island), so is splish splash the place where city kids go to ‘swim’, and so is ‘polish’ town (that was like post war polish, so all the polish people have been replaced with spanish lol and the signs are still in polish. Once a year they hold the polish festival here). The downtown part to riverhead is like a tiny city. The community college opened it’s culinary program in riverhead and I’ve heard great things about it. There are a lot of student-run places to eat since then. Never eat at Michael’s LOL, I mean it you’ll be poisoned after waiting for an hour to get service. Riverhead has a lot of ‘happenings’. The blues festival is held here every summer, it a great excuse to go out and walk around with drinks and listenin to crappy jimi hendrix and gratefull dead knock-offs. This was my dad’s first home when his family came here from europe, of course he lived in Polish Town ^_

Clearly I’ve been here a lot lol. It’s a really interesting town!

Usually when im here it means I have jury duty, havn’t had a good time yet.

There’s the craft beer fest this weekend, so that may change.

Adorable!
