Brooklyn's ultra-accessible, closer (obv) than Manhattan. An easy car or train ride. You're probably paying about $12-18 for a round-trip train ticket into Penn Station, depending on peak or non-peak, etc. Can't help you out with a good record store, sorry. Italian food, man -- it's hard to turn around and not bump into an unbelievable Italian place. I'm sure you can easily find a 'best of Long Island food' list with a quick Google search, but from my own stomping ground (Long Beach) I can insist upon you going to Gino's Pizzeria, so, SO fucking good and I miss it intensely being in China. The Grandma's, Sicilian, and ESPECIALLY Crostino Slices are must-eats. Nagahama is the best Sushi in Long Beach, also extremely delicious. Hard to beat Jimmy Hays' for steaks. Pancho's Cantina does great Mexican. Best breakfast place in the area, and maybe one of the best in the state, is Thomas' Ham and Eggery very close to Hofstra. Holy fuckshit that place is good. All the above advice is on point. Enjoy your stay man, and like the guy says, don't let some of the assholes get you down. There are a ton of cool people to be found.
