For those of you that know me, you know that I am a huge fan of shopping. As far as I am concerned, they can create a paying career for shopping. I would be applying for it today. Something else that I like to do that would rival my desire to shop is eating. This might run neck to neck in things that I love to do. And, specking of neck, some friends of mine were recently in Great Neck, New York.

Apparently they went to Long Island to visit some friends over the holidays. One day, their friends decided to take them shopping in Great Neck. From the sounds of the stores and restaurants, it is just the place that I would love to go. Not too busy and not to sparse, but just right with shoppers. Plus, from the way that I understander it, Great Neck has that Town Center feel to it. This is the perfect type of setting in my book.

I am going to have to get up to New York and visit the friends that I have living there and get out to check out this potentially great shopping. I wonder if this is where Kathy Passarette gets all the stuff for her staging jobs.

Spring is right around the corner. One of the best benefits of being a Great Neck resident is enjoying its parks. In order to take full advantage of the parks and the wonderful programs the Parks District has to offer you will need a valid park card. If you are getting your first card or need to renew your existing card go to the Great Neck House to do it. The Great Neck House hours are Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday between 10:00 to 6:00, Thursday 10:00 to 8:00, Saturday 9:00 to 4:00 and Sunday 11:00 to 4:00.

Parking in Great Neck is a commodity. Proximity to the train station and the ability to find parking has influenced many of the buyers I have worked with in their decision to purchase a home.

The Great Neck Park District owns and manages three commuter lots. There is a daily fee to park in those lots. You may purchase a daily ticket from the Dunkin Donuts across from the train station or buy a monthly or annual parking sticker. An annual ticket is a 13% saving. An annual ticket is $635, a monthly ticket is $60 and a daily ticket is $3.50.

Residents of multiple dwellings in Great Neck Plaza are eligible to obtain a permit to park in the municipal garages on Plaza Centre and on Maple Drive. Only one permit per household is permitted. The current cost is $90 per quarter. Probably the least expensive parking in Great Neck!

Street parking permits are also available to residents of multiple dwellings within the Village of Great Neck Plaza. This permit exempts you from the three hour parking limit between 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. on the un-metered streets in the Village of Great Neck Plaza. Great Neck Plaza also issues special street parking permits to residents of single-family homes. These permits are slightly different, so please contact the Village Hall at 516-482-4500 for further information.
