Get the door, it's the liquor store

Be honest — when was the last time a suburb named something like “East Meadow” actually had a meadow? Well,... set your cynicism aside, friend, because this ’burb ain’t just talking the talk. East Meadow sits tucked among the many towns orbiting NYC like a meteor belt, but this little 6.3 square miles of honest advertising has got meadows aplenty. That’s because it claims the bulk of Eisenhower Park within its city limits. This park is larger than Central Park and is home to three (yes, three) 18-hole golf courses. Taking a stroll through this park makes you forget you’re in the largest metropolitan area in the country. Finely manicured green fields await the avid golfer, while outdoor concert venues, an aquatic center, 14 softball fields, three baseball fields, three football fields, four soccer fields and 16 lighted tennis courts somehow also fit into the park’s bounds. And that’s just the park. East Meadow is a comfortable, middle-class town that’s got the good life on lockdown. Single-family homes, lush lawns and meandering streets give residents the sensation of being totally removed from urban life without sacrificing a single convenience. Drizly delivers to East Meadow as well — just select your favorite beers, wines and/or liquors from our virtual store and we’ll get it to your front door in under an hour. Read More
