I went to Gallery 25 on 2/1/25 to have some vintage baseball cards framed. I met Chris, who is a…read morevery friendly guy and will talk your ears off. Chris told me that this would take 2 weeks to complete. If by 2 weeks, he meant 10 weeks, then it was 2 weeks. No matter how many times I called, nobody EVER picks up the phone, so I had to keep going in to his shop (I live 25 minutes away). I asked to have pictures of the unfinished product sent to me before the work was completed to make sure I liked it, and everything was the way I wanted it (spacing, borders, colors, etc.) After 8 weeks, I finally got an email of the pictures, and it was wrong so the layout had to be changed. Finally, after 10 weeks, after the changes, I picked up the frame. Then, I gave him much more expensive cards ($2,000) to frame and told him that this can't take 10 weeks. He assured me that this time it would only take two weeks. I told him that this frame had to be the same size as the last one since I would be displaying them together. I called after 2 weeks to see if it was done, and as usual, nobody picked up the phone, so I left a message. I said the same thing as before. Make sure you send me pictures before you seal up the frame. Of course, nobody called me back, I called 4 more times that week, left 4 more messages...not ONE call back. Then, suddenly, I get an email that the frame is done. I went in and picked it up, brought it home and noticed that not only was this frame bigger than the first one, but the borders/frames around the cards were MUCH bigger than the first ones, so the white borders of the cards could not be seen. It made the cards look much smaller. They do not look like real baseball cards; they look like imitations and copies that I've seen online. The spacing of the cards in relation to the engraved plaque was off as well. I emailed Chris again (since there is no point in calling), and he told me that he was NOT going to redo the piece and it looked just fine to him. He didn't even want to hear what the issues were. It could have been a small fix. I would have even been willing to keep the larger frame but at least change the borders around the cards to they look real. Maybe it looked fine to him, but he is in the framing business, not the baseball card business. It was not what I wanted or asked for. You can see the difference in the 2 pieces. One has a slight orange frame around the card for a nice hint of color, while you can still see the white borders, and the other where the white borders are completely covered up and there is a dominating large gray frame around the card. The two look nothing alike. I was going to sue him but it wasn't worth the filing fees, or my time for $230, which I never even got a receipt for since I paid cash. So, if you want to wait 4 times longer than it should normally take for your merchandise to be completed, have your calls ignored, have zero communication with who is doing the work, and have them make their own decisions as to how YOUR items come out.... then this is your place.

They had a wide and varied selection of art pieces. They ranged in price, but after searching through the gallery we found the perfect piece to finish our room. Martin helped us with the sale. We went back the next week and worked with Martin to select the frame. He was very patient as he showed us the different frame options. We brought a paint chip to show our living room color and he provided his professional opinion on the best choice. The outside edges of the painting are dark so he recommended a white linen border to make the picture pop. My husband picked it up and we are SO happy with the final result. It looks gorgeous and it is the perfect piece to finish our living room.

We were waved in by some friendly employees by the door and we took a look around. There was a random John Lennon plastic Christmas ornament standing on a display. My husband John picked it up to buy it but it was not priced, so he set it down to find an employee to get a price. Commotion ensued. This employee started yelling across the store about someone touching/moving "her" John- to which my husband jokingly responded "I'm John!". He thought she was kidding. She wasn't. She was insane. She continued to berate him. And then me. We walked out.The manager followed us outside to see what was wrong. Then she followed. Still bitching. The manger had his answer. This woman was unhinged.

I announced I was going to take a walk, and was told by some car-dependent Long Islanders there wasn't anything out there and there were no sidewalks anyway. Man, adventure is everywhere. Not even ten minutes up the road from the hospital I stumble upon The Art Guild (aka Elderfields Historic Preserve, The Hewlett-Munson-Williams House), a museum and artists studio that has taken up residence in the oldest house in Nassau County (1675). You're free to wander around the home, looking in all its nooks and crannies. Downstairs a painting class was being held and budding artists put their creations to canvas with soothing music playing in the background. Tea, coffee, and treats are available for a modest price. Each month the art theme changes, the month I went the theme was transportation and I thought the art was very well done! Upstairs you'll find some of the resident artists studios, with their work on display as well. There are kitschy bathrooms with ornate light fixtures, creaky floorboards, heavy doors with their original skeleton keys, dimpled glass window panes, bits of original wallpaper, fireplaces, antique furniture, dormer windows, etc. The ground are also beautiful: old barns and sheds, picket fences, stone pathways, stone walls, blooming trees, a gazebo, creaky gates. On a cloudy, misty, early spring day I felt like I was exploring a secret garden in New England. Just up the road from this is Flower Hill Park, a small but pretty park that is also a nice respite from the waiting room. If you're in the area, or anxiously waiting in the hospital, this is a nice stop to make if you're looking for a calm, soothing environment with friendly people who are happy to either chat with you or let you wander the grounds solo. Shout out to Lisa whose love and excitement for the space shown through so strong. Thanks for sharing your enthusiasm, it was contagious!

I found this venue after googling "things to do". Being two days before Halloween it was fun to…read moreget into the spooky spirit!! The building is located in Mineola on an industrial block. I must admit, I thought the building would be larger. Two floors filled with popular monster ghouls and gals. There were also some characters I was not familiar with. Each exhibit was accompanied with trivia facts about the origin of the character. In this regard, the place has a museum feel to it. If you're looking to have the bejesus scared out of you or live characters all up in your face, this isn't the place for that. I personally didn't mind, although two of the exhibits did catch me by surprise. My scare quota was satisfied for the night! Expect to stay about an hour. It wasn't crowded so the friendly staff told us we could take our time. Although an hour should allow you to experience the entire place. I agree with another Yelper in that, this has the potential to be really, really awesome if done on a larger scale. However since this isn't the big city with perhaps more resources and space, it did just fine.

Man I love movies. I'll watch anything. Any time period or genre or language. Though I have to say…read moreI grew up on a lot of horror. Some might scold their dad for scaring them into never wanting to look at a doll the same way again, but I embraced Chucky (I was 5 when I watched it) and other monster-type things. That's why I was extremely interested to check out the new Long Island Monster Gallery. I did just that last night with fiancée in hand and it was a semi-spooky and fun experience. I say semi-spooky because this is NOT a horror house. Don't misunderstand that point. Nothing will jump out at you and the only ever-so-slight moment of a scare would be the little talking skeleton at the beginning which explains your entrance into this gallery of life-sized monsters created by artists from all over the world. To find this gallery, you'll head down a random road in Mineola near some of the industrial buildings. The pink and green window lights make it hard to miss. You also might hear the woman at the front who greets you when you enter as she explains to "head to the dead center of the room" (with an emphasis on that "dead" word...ha ha). Once inside, you basically have free range to walk around the different rooms and upstairs to check out the myriad of monster movie displays. You'll find a nice array with replicas from the Universal monsters of the 1930s and 40s (Frankenstein's monster and his bride, Dracula, the Wolf Man), classic icons of horror (Freddy Krueger, Jason Voorhees, Michael Myers), some deeper horror movie fellas (Pinhead, Leatherface, Killer Clowns from Outer Space) and even a few modern movie notables (The Nun, Jeepers Creepers, Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark). I was super excited to see the An American Werewolf In London display as that's a personal favorite of mine. A full room for the Sanderson Sisters of Hocus Pocus was also a nice touch. So was some classic monster movie music playing while you strolled through the displays. Each one had a plaque of information about the monster, the movie, and a cool "Did you Know?" piece that gave me some fun movie facts and trivia. Despite all the positives, I'm going four stars with this review (maybe it's like 4.5). As awesome as the gallery was, it felt like the first step in something that could be so much greater. The space was on the smaller side with it difficult to move around at times due to volume of people. A bigger building would bode so well. Plus, more space means more monsters! I definitely felt like there were a few missing (The Invisible Man to start, though maybe he was there and I didn't see him? Har har). Plus there's plenty of obscure monsters that would help horror fans grow their movie knowledge and interest. The deadites from The Evil Dead, the rest of the cenobites in Hellraiser, Pumpkinhead, Phantasm, The Thing, Brundlefly from The Fly, all the Hammer horror monster versions. The possibilities are endless! These are my horror wishes for the future. Overall, the Long Island Monster Gallery was terrific in its maiden launch by creating a fun and not-so-scary experience that allowed fans of horror on the silver screen to take in all their monster movie love at once. It's definitely a cool and unique idea during Halloween to break up the jump scares and haunted houses. Here's hoping the gallery can build to bigger and better (and I'm fine with scarier!) things next year to really make a film buff love this place.
