We're sorry. Actually, no we're not.
Sure, you can get Dominican food next to a pizza joint next to a Jamaican spot, but let's be real – this is just Long Island's attempt at being worldly while still being aggressively suburban. It's like the United Nations if the UN met at a strip mall food court and everyone drove home to identical ranch houses.
Oh wow, a spinning stage where washed-up 80s acts perform for commuters who couldn't get Broadway tickets! Frank Sinatra played there back when it mattered, but now it's mostly tribute bands and comedians whose Netflix specials got cancelled. The circular seating ensures everyone gets an equally mediocre view.
Charles Lindbergh launched his historic Paris flight in 1927 from Roosevelt Field, right next door to Westbury, and honestly, he had the right idea about leaving. The man literally chose to fly across an ocean rather than stick around this corner of Nassau County. That should tell you everything you need to know about this place's entertainment value.
Nothing screams "I've made it" like spending 90 minutes a day on the LIRR just to get to and from a real city. You're paying a small fortune to live in a place where the biggest excitement is arguing about whether to shop at Roosevelt Field or drive to the Americana. At least the train gives you time to contemplate your life choices.
