a mid-upper cl-ss town in eastern long island, famous for it’s rich roman catholic republican population and h-m-genous culture. if you see a man of color wandering the streets, you’ll be sure to see a man in blue not far behind. the high school culture revolves around both the finest preppy styles (lilly pulitzer, abercrombie etc.)lacrosse and football, with inordinate amounts of funds being provided for such luxuries as a turf football field while the school roofs continue to leak. if you dare to brave the mean streets of garden city, you will see many a bmw, mercedes and lexus. don’t worry if you crash it drunk driving. daddy will replace it. be sure to check out one of the local parties, often complete with multiple kegs. don’t worry though. with all these parties students still find their way into ivy level schools with a little help of their trusty pigskin or lacrosse stick.

an upper middle cl-ss town located in the center of n-ssau county, long island and known for its, conservative, roman-catholic population. students at gchs are known for their work-hard, party-harder mentality, with many getting good grades, being sick at some sport, and then throwing down hard on the weekends. many sport the preppy look, however their is a growing minority of skaters, goths, and emo kids who stick with each other, but generally everyone gets along pretty nicely. some live in multi-million dollar plus homes (such as those on the garden city golf club (sn-b hill), stewart avenue, and some in the estates and mott) but most live in normal sized 500,000 to million dollar homes on the east side near country life, in the esates, or in the mott.) many of the adults are wall street traders, brokers, lawyers, business owners, or doctors. kids tend to throw down either at a house party or in random outdoor locations. the smart kids and great athletes of gchs tend to end up at ivy league or similar inst-tutions (georgetown, boston college, notre dame, nyu, uva, lehigh, bucknell, loyola, trinity, colby, bowdoin, haverford, etc.) other popular choices include villanova, fairfield university, and fordham university. some at gchs are stuck up and can be mean but most tend to be pretty laid back and chill. the language of garden city includes words such as ‘shwag’ and ‘sketchy.’ most athletic recruits are from lax or field hockey, which produce many state championships for the school. many go on to have jobs similar to their parents, such as wall street jobs and law jobs, but some may deviate from the norm. overall, gc residents agree that it is a good place to grow up and live.

garden city is a western long island town, as opposed to some posts defining it as an eastern long island town: it is located a mere 15 minutes east of queens, ny. gchs is comprised of the spoiled teens who have always gotten what they’ve asked for, the jocks (guys or girls), the masquer theater kids, the loners, skaters, goths, and geeks – but for the most part, their good upbringing has taught them to be polite and respectful. one won’t have to go far in garden city without spotting a mercedes, as long island has the top-selling mercedes dealership in the country. an unusually high percentage of graduating gc seniors progress into college, most often into ivy leagues, whether it’s because of sports or because of how hard they’ve studied. the village of garden city is very safe, clean, and beautiful. the average house is now selling for about $1 million, as a house nearby just sold for that in the mott section and it is a relatively small house. most people don’t realize how lucky they are to live here until they leave.
non-gc friend: wow, is that your car?
gc resident: yeah…. so?
non-gc friend: where are you from again?!
gc resident: garden city….
non-gc friend: ohhhh… that explains it.
the village of garden city is located in the middle of n-ssau county, within the town of hempstead. it is notorious for its population of white, roman catholic, upper middle cl-ss republicans. this reputation contributes to the common misconception that garden city is h-m-genous. this is false! there is a synagogue on n-ssau blvd, and at least 5 black kids in the high school! but let’s not kid ourselves, it is a bubble.
the trojan mascot is particularly appropriate for the high school due to the fact that a gross majority of students are s-xually active. the middle school has become increasingly school spirited as the years go by, unwrapping their trojan pride even on the weekends!
on another note, the high school parking lot in garden city looks more like a bmw sales lot than anything else. in most towns, the older you get the nicer your car. in garden city, once you graduate from driver’s ed, even if it’s on your seventh try, you’re guaranteed a hot car.
a popular hang out for gchs students is a & s bagels on hempstead turnpike. there is a dark, shady parking lot adjacent to the 24-hour eatery, perfect for boxing out mommy’s car. and don’t worry, she won’t notice, she’s too busy at the country club. even if she does notice, she’ll just buy you fabreez to get rid of the smell.
other popular hangouts include the sump, most playgrounds, stewart and/or stratford fields and the numerous train stations scattered throughout the town. these dark areas are frequently littered with empty boxes of natty light on sunday morning. but if you can’t make it to the bp on jericho, you can always h-t up daddy’s liquor cabinet to get through the night.
so if you’re in the neighborhood, and you’re looking for a good time (doesn’t matter your age, college students often stick around long after they’ve graduated) hit up a dark field, a & s, or even those dirty–ss bars on hempstead. you’re guaranteed a good time, and even it’s not, who’s to say you’ll remember in the morning.
garden city was the only town in new york that showed up red in the last election.
