Rob & Christy were claiming to be from little tiny towns, but we have a lot of them here on wrong island. About 12 years ago, a cousin of mine Moved to Ridge, and said "what, New Jersey?".
And I lived on this island for 20+ years before I discovered Sea Cliff, where I lived for five years, and is still one of my favorites.

Lately, working out of Hampton Bays, I found Squiretown.

what are your little known Long Island towns?

      It's a little Hamlet (correct term for a 'town' that has nothing but a zipcode going for it) just north of Hampton Bays.

      Farmingvilles a good one- but everyone knows Speonk 'cause of the LIRR- but it's the weirdest sounding town on the island.

        No way, Speonk is a great, freaky town name, but I'm still with Quogue for weirdest.

              i got one for all of you. I just moved there... Remsenburg. I've lived on the Island all my life and that place seems like bubblefuck to me.

                  i moved there about a year and a half ago from Oyster Bay in nassua. I never went to school there because i was just never home, but when i'm home i have to drive more than 20 mins. to get to my friends. I think i belong closer to the city...

        SPeOnk!!

        who didnt(doesnt) love hearing the conducter say speonk.

        probably the best known/ least visited town

        Sag Harbor- there's a name that doesnt really evoke anything
        (sea hag harbor?)

          i must say considering that i use the SPeOnk! station. i do get a kick with the conducter saying it. in drunkin babble i love repeating it... but either way its a small ass town that is next to my smaller town remsenburg like i said before. i just wish it wasnt so expensive to ride to the city from here. the city has more important things to waste money on other than train tickets...

        I know Copaige, but I live in the next town, Swindlehurst (AKA lindenhurst) which in itself is a little known town.. People in the city thinks there are the hamptons, queens & BK, and a whole bunch of shit that doesn tmatter in between.
