Although I live out of town, this is the train station that I use whenever I have to travel to The…read moreCity because it is a major transit hub. Several branches (Port Jeff, Ronkonkoma, Oyster Bay) stop at Mineola; thus I do not have to wait a long time to take a train back to Long Island. The ticket booth in the waiting room is closed on weekends, but the waiting room itself is open every day of the week and has benches where passengers sit down, waiting for their trains. There are USB ports for smart device charging that are attached to the benches in the waiting room (see photo below), which is a big plus. There are two ticket vending machines outside across from the waiting room, but I purchased my tickets today, 6/17/26, from the MTATrainTime app, using Apple Pay. Overall, the station has good police presence. I feel safe. The only downside is that the restroom toilet was disgusting, and there is no free parking. LIRR riders must pay for parking in a nearby lot.

It's a busy line (when there's not a strike going on) and have used it many times. There is a bus…read moreterminal right outside the station for Nassau buses. There is multi level parking which I'm not sure if you have to pay as I always take the bus. There are many restaurants within walking distance if you want to grab a bite while waiting for your train.

For twenty years, I've watched Roosevelt Field Mall evolve from a standard retail hub into a…read moremassive, modern monument to leisure. It is one of those rare, sprawling ecosystem-level malls where you can easily lose an entire day to the pavement and never once feel the itch of boredom. The structural face-lifts have been a massive win, transforming the space into a genuinely premium destination. They have a powerhouse gauntlet of anchor stores--Macy's, Bloomingdale's, Nordstrom, and Neiman Marcus--flanked by a relentless selection of clothing boutiques and a Lego store that remains a pure, nostalgic trip. The food court is the gold standard in variety, standing as one of the best executions of the concept you'll find anywhere. But the real evolution hits in the summer, when the al fresco dining areas open up, offering an outdoor oasis amid the retail hustle. It gets crowded--of course it does--but with plenty of parking to absorb the madness, it remains an absolute favorite. Selection & Shopping (5/5): An elite tier of retail which runs seamlessly from accessible mid-range staples to high-end luxury. The movie theater upgrade is spectacular, a complete night-and-day transformation from what it used to be. Food & Dining for a mall (4.5/5): A massive cut above standard mall fare. The sheer volume of food options is impressive, and the outdoor al fresco spaces give it a vibrant, lively energy during the warmer months. Layout & Convenience (4.25/5): The modern renovations have aged beautifully, keeping the massive footprint easy on the eyes. Despite the heavy crowds, the abundance of parking means you aren't fighting a losing battle before you even get through the doors.

It was, but with all the space I didn't feel like people were walking on top of me. There are many parking areas including garages and outdoors. Definitely better than most malls.

I absolutely loved my experience here and will definitely be returning soon. Thank you, The Gallery!

I love the way it appears off Merlllon Avenue with the beauty of the town surrounding the station. Also, this was the last stop on that horrific day on the LIRR December 7th 1993 that Colin Ferguson opened gunfire at passengers. One may occasionally notice wreaths by the station in memory of those people loss that day.

As is having the train overpass Nassau Blvd rather than tracks. Howver, having to merge just under the trestle is annoying as hell and causes traffic. Not to mention the platform usually smells like piss. I know there's not much to do about that, but only go into the plastic huts if the cold/wind is too overbearing. Other than that, it's my station and carries me to and from the city without worrying too much.

And…read moretill this day I am still very hurt and bothered that I was not paid by Brian for two weeks worth of work. Brian was very unprofessional and would tell me if I scratched a car to keep my mouth shut until the customer notices the mistake because once they drive out the lot they are not held responsible for any damages. I would not recommend them for work because they hire inexperienced drivers and have terrible customer support.

Let's take a poll: Would you like the US Mail to be privatized rather than run by the government?…read more Let me help you think through this. The Post Office in Mineola looks old and tired, with a rather depressing appearance that can be quite off-putting. The Postal brick building has an old traditional apperance which fits well in the town. Recently, I have been having issues when it comes to holding mail and forwarding services. The service from government-employed postal workers can also be inconsistent; sometimes good, sometimes not so much. However, the service for ordinary mail packaging was good today. On the other hand, if the mail service were privatized, prices might increase, but the quality of service could improve significantly. For example, I often use UPS stores, which are privately owned, and their service is consistently excellent. However, changing the current system would require an act of Congress. There are substantial legal and political obstacles to privatizing the Postal Service, which makes such a transition complex and challenging.
