Manhasset Long Island Apple store opens
The store is free standing and much larger than the one at the Walt Whitman Mall, my usual Apple store. The front and back of the store are glass walls and there is plenty of open space. Hopefully this store will take some of the burden off of the other Long Island stores which are usually crowded and have multi-day waits to get an appointment at the Genius Bar.
If you're in the area, check it out at 1900 Northern Blvd, Manhasset, NY.

Hopefully this will take some craziness away from RF, and new stores are amazing because they have 230+ of them! I think it's a great accomplishment that they are opening new stores while many other business' are closing down.

Try walking into an Apple store for a QUICK purchase...won't happen. They have to ask you dumb questions to try and get you more 'involved' in the store setting.

(They even bumped me up in the line at the genious bar when i went in with my 3 little kids)
it is just like the Scottsdale store- it's a standalone with walls of glass on each side. It is much more elegant and easy to get in and out than any other Apple store I've ever been to.
It is in a very wealthy area and also very close to Queens-which doesnt have its own store. So it's likely to be a major profit-center for Apple.
Thank goodness for this opening. This store is much closer to me then Roosevelt Field and that store is way too small and ALWAYS crowded! As someone else here said.. Roosevelt Field store is a zoo 24/7! It takes nearly a week to get a Genius Bar appointment there!
October 18 2009 at 1:36 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyThe opening of Apple stores has always had a huge impact on the Apple faithful. Each and every store opening is the same thing - people line up to be able to be a part of day one. If that's not your thing, fine. But if it is, it's a very cool thing, indeed. The t-shirts are cool, there's a ton of excitement, and whoever said that all the stores are the same has clearly never been to more than one store. This one is in a unique space and looks different from all the others.
If it doesn't float your boat, don't go.
That's the strangest thing I've ever watched in the history of following computer news. I can't wait until Windows 7 comes out this week and I can put the Apple (Heaven's Gate) thing behind me. Sorry folks their just selling to you like sheep now. It's sad!
