I don't smoke weed (have always disliked it), so I have no knowledge of whether this jurisdictional issue has led to actual arrests in New York, but I recall some folks being prosecuted for smoking weed on federal land in New Jersey in the not too distant past. Plus you can't smoke weed *anywhere* in New York (such as in subway cars, stations, most restaurants, etc.), but only where you can smoke cigarettes, but folks generally know this.

I live in Nassau County and once took the LIRR to Forest Hills specifically to take a walk through the area. It was an afternoon in early autumn and the golden light only enhanced the beauty of these streets. It was a magical world. You have to see it yourself to believe it!

True vision as opposed to the modern day schlock HOA's have become. Congratulations Forest Hills ! 💜

I found this gem on Instagram and the last time I visited NYC, we made a point of going here to explore. It took us less than 15 min from Penn Station on th LIRR. Such a stunning neighborhood!

@@MikeCee7 As far as completely virgin, unspoiled blank canvas land you may be correct. Yet there are many failing or already abandoned sprawling industrial, commercial and other properties which if combined could have an equally as good amount of acreage and effect if cooperatively worked toward by many sectors. It would have to be integrated just like this community was from it's inception. There are pockets like this in most all boroughs and counties if you look closely yet probably the zoning/local red tape and bureaucracy is what prohibits cost effectiveness or doesn't encourage it. I'm theoretically against taking more natural land when we're already wasting what we have with poor planning and lack of recycling/up cycling efforts or systems at odds with each other.

Unfortunately, the HOA is no longer allowing them to have outdoor seating in the Summer and they have not been able to get a permit to install a new flue so their legendary burgers have been off the menu for months and that has hurt their business. It’s one of the great “dive bars” in New York City.
