>>>>Perhaps it is the traffic that prohibits that?<<<<

Yeah, probably. Also, many people who live out here are commuters who don't get home from Manhattan until too late in the evening for a ride.

>>>>Sushi place?<<<<

I'm a strict vegetarian, so I don't eat sushi, but the sushi buffet people rave about in my general area is Minado, at 219 Glen Cove Road, Carle Place, NY 11514. (516) 294-9541. It's too far from Commack, but about 14 miles north on the Wantagh State Parkway from Cedar Creek Park, where you'll end your Jones Beach ride. Check their website for hours of operation, as I think they close for a few hours during the day.


If you're not too picky, as you say, the Good Taste Buffet at 200 E Jericho Tpke in Commack, NY 11725 is not too far from your hotel. It's probably the best Chinese buffet on the Island and it has an ample sushi bar (though, again, I can't vouch for the quality -- and with a screen name like "chef," I don't know if you're going to like ANYTHING I suggest!)

So sorry I'm not going to be available to ride while you're in NY, but for the rest of this week, I will be wrapped up in meetings about our upcoming concert season (I work for the local township and we've just been advised that we need to follow through with shows by STYX, Smashmouth, and others with half our regular crew and zero overtime). Then I've got family parties both Saturday and Sunday.


Have a good time riding and a successful business trip. I will have intermittent access to this site for the next few days, so feel free to post any additional questions.
