New York College Of Health Professions
Aug 4, 2009 by Bob from Syosset

Overall Rating: 1

• Fresh paint on the walls every term.
• Everything. Go somewhere else, they lie during the open house.

“This place is not a school its a diploma mill. Education? None. Professionalism? None.”

Yankee Stadium
Jul 29, 2009 by Connie from Forest, VA

Overall Rating: 10

• The design and accessibility.
• High price of food & drinks inside the stadium.

“Loved the new stadium! It has spacious walkways, lots of places within the stadium to shop and eat, and the museum and Monument Park are a must-see for fans. The people there are very friendly and helpful. They've maintained the ambiance of the old stadium in design, while improving and updating the facility. We love to get there early so we have lots of time to enjoy the experience. Also, there are lots of little shops in the area outside of the stadium, if you want to buy clothing, memorabilia, souvenirs, etc. at a more reasonable, family-friendly price. Inside the stadium things are overpriced, but probably no more than at any other stadium or tourist attraction. Stadium is a definite must see!”

Rose Bowl Lanes
Jul 11, 2009 by jason from newark

Overall Rating: 1

• Plenty of parking.
• Everything else.

“This place is a dive from alcoholics sleeping on the bar to the manager drinking on the job and serving minors. Stay away from here, the one in Canandaigua is so much nicer.”

Flamingo Bowl
May 8, 2009 by Dave Marsbar from liverpool

Overall Rating: 2

• Its a bowling alley.
• Staff.

“It is a good place to bowl but the staff is not that nice and nobody ever answers the phone. Those other comments sound like flamingo employees.”

Long Island Adventureland
Apr 12, 2009 by nicholas from FRANKLIN SQUARE

Overall Rating: 8

• The rides were pretty good.
• The place was a little small.

“Adventure land was a great theme park with pretty decent rides. The food wasn't that bad.”

Empire State Building
Apr 4, 2009 by Beth from Michigan

Overall Rating: 5

• Beautiful view.
• Crowds, long time in line, expensive, tourist-trap feel.

“This is the quintessential tourist trap. It's worth doing once in a lifetime, but so much money just to stand in line and fight a huge crowd! After purchasing $20 tickets (each) we moved along quickly and up into the 1st elevator ride only to find a long, long, slow-moving line. We seriously stood in line for 45 minutes just to get into the 2nd elevator which went to the 102nd floor. Once on the observation deck, there was a huge crowd which made it difficult to get to the front and really look out over the city. Then we were told one elevator was broken, so all who looked healthy were sent down 6 flights of steps until we could catch a working down-elevator. The scary part was that there were a lot more of those chain-and-post line assemblies, so we weren't even there at a peak traffic time!”

Central Park
Apr 4, 2009 by Beth from Michigan

Overall Rating: 10

• Peaceful and gorgeous.
• Rickshaw operators kept offering rides. A bit annoying, but part of the experience, I guess.

“Definitely a must if you've been touring the busy city. It was breathtaking to walk in a quiet, grassy park and look up through tree limbs at that beautiful NYC skyline. The traffic noise, even though nearby, was minimal and all I noticed was the beautiful landscaping, including natural rock outcroppings that were open for climbing on. In most places they'd be roped off to preclude lawsuits, but we walked all over them, and saw several others napping, sitting, reading, etc.”

Ground Zero
Apr 4, 2009 by Beth from Michigan

Overall Rating: 5

• Fireman's memorial was very touching. Beautiful.
• Noisy construction and a barrier all around the site. Nothing to see unless you pay for the tour.

“The fireman's memorial was great, but the gallery and tour cost $10 per person to look down at a construction site. Compared to other attractions, maybe that's cheap and the money goes to the nonprofit organization, but it seemed like it should be a free tour so that everyone will go.”

Homefield Bowling Store
Mar 21, 2009 by Bernice from Riverdale, NY

Overall Rating: 1

• Nothing.
• Everything.

“I would never return to this establishment. After reading the reviews I thought it was the perfect place to take my son (3/17/09.) First we were told we could only play for half hour. It was repeated so many times that I felt this woman just wanted us to leave. After playing one game of ten frames I told my son it was time to go. Well, he throws another bowl starting a new game. You would think I would be charged for 11 frames as in other establishments. Nope. I was charged for all 10 frames. I paid for borders and they weren't put up until we were already in our 8th frame and this was after I went back to the counter. No apologies. No nothing. What lane are you at? Okay. Just go back. (Dismissive and how dare I bother them!) I was dying to get out of there, but now my son is screaming for a soda. Begrudgingly I go to the concession stand and we wait; Well, no one ever came to serve us or at a minimum tell us they were closed. Why? Because they were too busy chatting up a storm at the end of the counter. Staff being friendly? Well, those people must have quit or been fired.”

Long Island Childrens Museum
Jan 4, 2009 by Tom from Syosset

Overall Rating: 1

• Sorry, nothing.
• This may have worked in the 1950s.

“Please do not waste your money and your time here. You may get lucky and find one or two things that provide 5-10 minutes of entertainment for your child, but it certainly isn't worth the $10 admission, the 45 minutes it takes to park on a weekend, and the expensive souvenirs you'll have to buy in the gift shop after the whole horrible experience!”

Eden Bowling Center

Overall Rating: 9

• Room was shaking because of the elevator.

“Loved it ! Only bad part was we were on the other side of the elevator and our room would shake.”

Woodgate Pines Golf Club
Sep 22, 2008 by Lance from Utica, NY

Overall Rating: 3

• Short.
• Over priced.

“Over priced for the local market. Very short, so short that yardage markers are at least 10 yards long. If you hit a five iron from 150 yards you will need to go down to a six or seven iron. Par three's on back nine are much shorter than the yardage markers.”

Splish Splash
Aug 27, 2008 by anne from Oyster Bay

Overall Rating: 5

• Fun slides.
• Not enough bathrooms, poor signs and Rude staff.

“The rides were fun and the place was clean. The staff was so rude and unfriendly to children. On one line my 7 yr old had to go to the bathroom. We came back to join my husband and 10 yr old and they wouldn't let me join them on line. "There is no place holding here" Even though there was still a 45 min wait and they were about 5 feet away from me. I asked a young man working at a food kiosk if he sold coffee and his reply was, "Do I look like i have coffee?" When my daughter showed a little hesitation before going down a slide the attendant rolled her eyes, and shook her head, so much so that my daughter saw it and felt very embarrassed. I guess I shouldn't let these things bother my but when you are paying for a family outing it can be very disappointing. We won't be going there again..”

Statue of Liberty

Overall Rating: 6

• Very cool to see.
• Small observatory deck not a great view.

“Very cool to see, long security lines, I recommend not going up because you wait for an hour or more but jut going on the ferry and getting of to look. Also circle line boat cruise is a good way to see it, you don't stop but you go pretty close!”

Kids Aerobics

Overall Rating: 8

• It good place to spend the day with a multitude of children. A good place to throw B-day parties.
• On the other hand, the place did need major renovation.

“I was a former employee of kid-o-robics. It was clearly stated that children were to be watched by their parents, it was a place for kids to have fun, not to be babysat. In regards to the food being cold, the only way the food could have been cold is if you took too long to get in your room (which was announced over a loud speaker).”

Buffalo & Erie County Naval and Military Park
Jul 18, 2008 by Richard from New York City

Overall Rating: 9

• Great for kids and family.
• They had construction and some areas were closed off.

“On the way back to NYC for our Toronto vacation, we decided to stop by because my son wanted to see some military ships. Everyone enjoyed the 2 hour stop and we took a lot of great pictures. The stop was easy to find. Free parking was across the street and the ships are in great condition. We did the self guided tour and my daughter also enjoy it. I definitely recommend a stop for 1-2 hours.”

Seabreeze Park
Feb 26, 2008 by John from North Chili

Overall Rating: 6

• Nice variety of rides, decent food.
• Not enough to occupy a full day, overcrowded on weekends.

“Many of the rides are kind of tired. And there aren't that many of them. Although the Whirlwind was a nice addition. Water park water is usually cold. The food is not bad (esp. the fresh cut fries). Back in its prime, it was much better they used to have a dark ride, a fun house, a subway ride, and a more thrilling indoor scrambler than the toned-down version. They now have among others. For $20 for an all-day pass, you are much better off at Darien Lake.”

• Convenient location.
• Dirty, no supervision, always scared my kid will be abducted.

“I understand they moved to a new location on Route 100. Not sure if that's true. The old location at the Cross County Mall was fun for the kids but filthy. Not a good place for kids under 3. Too many big kids who run without regard to younger kids. .”

Bowl-A-Drome
Feb 16, 2008 by Casey from Malone

Overall Rating: 1

• Although I had to walk around barefoot, I wasn't worried because it was so clean.
• Worst customer services I have ever experienced.

“Never write reviews, but would highly suggest if you're taking the time to read this to consider what I have to say. I have never been treated with such disrespect as I have after my first and only visit to this place. I arrived late to meet my group at this place. The first greeting I got walking in to this place was "excuse me, can't you read the sign? No shoes." I then returned to the entrance, took off my shoes, and walked around barefoot through the establishment. Upon talking to my party, I learned that they had call to confirm that open bowl was at eight. When the party of thirteen showed up at eight to get a lane, after waiting at the counter for five minutes till the manager found the time to help them, he then not only told them that it had been "changed" to ten, but then ushered them all out the door. When some of the party returned later that night (some choose to stay behind seeing as how they were treated), the manager then took up the lane next to them and watched them the entire time, which I noticed when I arrived two hours later he was still doing. I was also informed that during their time there, one of the members of our party had gotten a strike, and out of excitement accidentally spilled their drink, in which the manager made members of the party get down on their hands and knees and pick it up with napkins. I stayed for ten minutes after hearing this and seeing as the way I was treated when I walked in the door, I did not doubt that what they were saying was not far or even not the truth. However I would like to add that not all the member of the establishment was rude, and some of them actually extended some courtesy towards the group and treated us like actual paying customers. Two to be exact.”

• Not sure.
• You have to take your shoes off to eat.

“Went into to just grab a bite to eat and I didnt take my boots off and all these ladies started coming up to me complaining you didn't take your shoes off. I was like a wiped them off. I really felt uncomfortable taking my shoes off to eat. Yes, there was a written sign take wet shoes off, but after I made sure I wiped them off they were dry. That wasn't good enough. As I left upset a lot of the people in there were saying you should have took your boots off. Thats ok Ill eat somewhere I can keep my boots on thanks.”

Tortilleria los gemelos mexican restaurant
Jan 11, 2008 by masteroflightchick from westport

Overall Rating: 1

• Sofas
• Have to pay for chips, too much sauce, and unfriendly staff.

“You have got to be kidding me with these two good reviews? Most authentic Mexican around? Hardly so! The staff was like walking zombies even though I speak Spanish. Next, I want my Mexican restaurant to serve me a nice heaping basket of chips with salsa the moment I sit down at the table. Here you have to order them for an extra $4, which they didn't tell me until I saw the check. I really wanted sangria today and was dismayed they didn't have it though I'm not going to fault them for that. The tortillas were handmade but not the best I've had. They do get kudos for being handmade in a local sea of pre-packaged chips which seem to be the norm in our area here. The salsa was very fresh but the flavors did not sing in my mouth. They were very disparate. The sofas were very good, I will give the restaurant that and the rice was fluffy and delicious. But, the entree I had was absolutely atrocious - a simple cheese enchilada platter, now how can you mess that up? I'm used to the sauce on this plate being more than is necessary. But, let's say 1 cup of sauce would be more than necessary - then this platter had 4 cups of sauce! Even after dumping it off the plate, there was so much left it completely inhibited the taste of the enchiladas. Even though no one else was in the restaurant, I had to go to the counter to ask for my check. A most unpleasant experience when that street is filled with fabulous choices!”

Kids Aerobics
Nov 24, 2007 by latoya from amoako

Overall Rating: 5

• The idea of having a place where children are able to stretch-out and have a healthy good time.
• The carpet was filthy, some of the balls needed to be replaced and the soft mats needed to be replaced as well as a result of the chewing gum that was stuck on the as well as the torn, ripped and in sanitized.

“The idea to have kids aerobics was a wonderful idea which allows children to play, exercise and interact with other children in their age range. My cousin and little brother actually had a good time despite the fact that the hot air jumping balloon was not working.”
