Chat Noir is a great french style tea house located at 230 Merrick Road in Rockville Centre NY.  It is a wonderful change to the usual hustle and bustle lunch and dinner restaurants located in the Village of Rockville Centre.  Just recently Newday a Long Island newspaper rated Chat Noir one of the top ten affordable new eateries on Long Island and with the amount of new restaurants opening on Long Island that is quite a stellar recognition.  I have eaten there on a number of occasions and I was always impressed with the menu and the wait staff.  It is a cozy spot to stop in for lunch or dinner and the food was great.  If you find yourself in Rockville Centre NY and looking for something other than a burger try Chat Noir.

Festive Fall Homes - Rockville Centre, New york This is my favorite time of the year when the cooler weather comes in and the leaves start to turn gorgeous shades of red, yellow, and gold. Our community - Rockville Centre also embraces the change of seasons. My intention was to capture festive fall doors - but as always, I got carried away with the camera and ended up taking photos of the whole house. Some of my favorite homes and decorations: This home is a local favorite for the residents of Rockville Centre! It gets many spectators during Halloween! Enjoy!  Rockville Centre Government, Recreation Center, Senior Center: http://www.rvcny.us/villagecalendar.htm

Liz Wallace - The "Joan Rivers" of ActiveRain I have got to share this with our ActiveRain Community. I'm not sure how many of you have "Cyber-met" Liz Wallace, but I read her comments all the time. She is a Broker Owner of a Century 21 Office on the South Shore of Long Island. She has been in the Real Estate Industry for 23 years. In fact, she is a member of our "2 Truths and A Lie" Group also. She just puts a smile on my face whenever I read her comments. And it goes beyond just a smile - usually I'm rolling on the floor with stomach pains from uncontrollable laughter. I've already warned her that I'm going to send her my dry cleaning bill because she gets me to the point where I just about pee my pants!! Anyway, I love you and I'm so grateful for your contribution to ActiveRain. I ho...

Every Sunday morning from 8 a.m. till noon there is a farmers market in Rockville Centre NY on the corner of Long Beach Road and Sunrise Highway right by the train trestle.  It is such a great place to get locally grown fresh fruits and vegetable.  There is a fisherman there with the most wonderful fresh caught fish, a bread stand, some local wineries, Also there is an incredible stand with home made pasta and ravioli from Brooklyn, yummy. This is a great thing to do on a Sunday morning and the prices are so affordable.  So nice to be a stones throw from NYC and have a farmers market.
