What do you mean? What is there to do in Hempstead? You are on Long Island. Long Island, located at the threshold of New York City, is a diverse playground of unbelievable natural beauty and a wealth of historical charm. It is a true island, surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean, East River and Long Island Sound, with hundreds of miles of pristine beaches. Below is a convenient source of links to Long Island's attractions and other places of interest. Go to the Coliseum to see the Islanders play. Go to a museum- yes, we have museums.
