Then they put it on some homemade pancakes. Yum. Then they make maple candy. Then they sell some pure maple syrup to you. Totally enjoyable.

I've lived in the area for over twenty years and have seen the neighbors on Spring Sunday mornings buying flowers. They offer school bus tours to see this working farm. They'll show kids how to milk a cow, churn butter, pick strawberries and other country farm life duties. Me? I know it's a dangerous corner and when I see a line of cars I know someone not from the area is going to pull out and make a crazy u turn. Be careful in my neighborhood and enjoy the farm!

This is a great place for students and staff and community and it is something to be proud of for Stony Brook university. It stands out as a landmark for centuries to come.

Great place for photography Reasons not to go to the Wang Center: NONE I have been to a series of events in this gorgeous building incluidng my white coat ceremony for the Dental School and some photography events that I have attended. I often study in this building as well due to the vast space they have and the fact that it is normally quiet and not too busy. Recently the art exhibit was changed and now there are 2 interactive rooms that are available to take pictures at. The entire display is gorgeous and fun to look at, despite some of their quirkiness. If anyone likes pop up shops definitely visit the newest exhibit and take some photos! Take a walk around the building and enjoy the FREE show.

This hotel has been renovated and has great fittings and Dove branded amenities. Gentleman who checked us in was friendly and courteous. Rooms are spacious, we took a King and sofa bed. Breakfast was nice. Cheese omelette, yogurt, bananas, cinnamon rolls, pancake machine and more plus coffee all day in the lobby. I would have given this hotel a 5 star except for these points that the management should take care before someone else has this experience. 1. TV powers on but you can't see any channels (not a biggie for one night) 2. Extra bedding for the sofa bed. It wasn't nicely packed in a bag in the room. Instead the front desk gave us a pillow, blanket and one fitted sheet. Fitted sheet was crumpled as if it had been used. We asked for newly laundered sheets and it was delivered to our room with extra sheets. Some of these sheets were not folded and crumpled. I understand that hotels have a staff shortage but clean sheets are a must for any hotel. I wonder if this is a franchise hotel where they are taking shortcuts. My message to the management is that if this is not fixed they may lose their position as the " official hotel of the SeaWolves". There's so much good in the hotel and this treatment of sheets is irritating. I mentioned this to the lady at the reception at checkout and got a very luke warm response and no apology. That shows me a lack of training and empathy.

Checked in and had no problems until I started walking to the hall leading to my room when I came across a horrid smell, I brushed it off thinking it'll be fine since I'd assume the room would be okay but when I entered in I was greeted with a extremely pungent smell. I then immediately went to the front desk to ask to change room where they then gave me a different accessible room. I went in and fortunately had no smell but some sort of gum on the wall and by then I had enough and I'd rather find an alternative hotel. I went down and asked to speak to the manager for the 3rd time and was told they wouldn't be back until the morning. I was then told by the front desk I wouldn't be able to receive a refund until the manager came back so I decided just to leave since I'd rather dump the money than to stay at a horrible hotel as this one. Hopefully I can get a refund through my credit card company. I've posted already once this is my second one but with pictures.

I was referred to Drive Up DJs…read moreand Ivan by someone else that had used them and then I researched them by looking at all the social media they use, and then I decided DUDJs was really the only choice. They are that good, and their price was totally reasonable. From the beginning, I knew we were in great hands. They provided us with DJ / MC / Sound / Lights / Video in one simple package, they even created a beautiful 250 pic video photo montage for us that was beautiful. They communicated with our other vendors through out the night and followed the planned script perfectly and played all music as previously selected as well as all the typical dance standards. It was LIT as my daughter said when it was over (which we didnt want to end). Ivan and his team are total pros, very personable and very easy to deal with and that took a lot of weight ofs our shoulders as we trusted him to run with the program and he did not disappoint us. Thank you again!

The questionnaire used for planning was all online as well as their catalog of services provided. Ivan was super accommodating and played all the songs we requested. He was on point with the wedding day itinerary and helpful with suggestions. We had some guests who also DJ and they came up to me raving about how his song mixes/wordplay was spot on. The photo booth was a hit - highly recommend and you receive a link to all photos/gifs taken. We also added on the saxophonist and 8 ft robot. Rob was also fantastic and I'm so glad DUDJ's provided him as the MC. High energy, big smiles, and these two were able to read to crowd and perform accordingly. Their DJ light setup was soooo much better than other DJ's I vetted (not to mention the others were upselling this and Drive Up provides this as a standard). I would have zero hesitation booking this team again and will be recommending them to all friends/family for future events.

The bar tenders were mixing up AMAZING drinks. One of the servers, Jamie, went above and beyond. My husband and I have food allergies--he's allergic to tree nuts, I'm allergic to peanuts. One of the hors d'oeuvres she was passing out had pesto, and when we asked if it had nuts she went to find out. She sought us out to tell us that not only was the pesto nut free, but that EVERYTHING being served was both tree and peanut free. She was amazing. The food was plentiful and delicious. I got the steak, my husband got the pork chop, and both were absolutely incredible. Our waitress was able to pack up my husband's leftovers and held it in the fridge for us until we were ready to leave. It was a beautiful wedding, beautiful venue, fantastic service, fantastic food. I hope I get to come back here again soon!
