Things you’ll only care about if you grew up in Mahopac, NY
It’s so much better than Westchester
It’s so easy to complain about how boring Mahopac is, but at the end of the day it’s our home and it’s where we grew up. Mahopac is a pretty big town just past Westchester County, which has given so many the opportunities to flourish into the people they are today. And let’s be honest, like every other town, Mahopac has had some pretty trying and desperate times but it’s a community that we’re all a part of.
Not gonna lie, it’s fun to hate on the wacky town we grew up in, but it’s nice to take a step back sometimes and see it for what it really is.
You tell people you’re from Westchester even though you’re not simply because it’s not worth the explanation that you’re from upstate NY
“Where are you from?” “Westchester, well technically Putnam County but yeah…” “Oh, so you’re from upstate NY?” “NO!”
Bliss is the go-to place to satisfy any craving and we convince outsiders it’s the best place known to mankind
The home of the Boss Wrap and some pretty boss mac and cheese too.
The only consistent thing about Mahopac is the man that has been scooping our ice cream at Carvel since the day we were born
This man eat, sleeps and breathes Carvel (but actually he lives there).
If you’re looking for a high school reunion, just visit the gym #gains
If you want your classmates from high school to stare at you while you work out sign up today!
You’ve been viciously trampled during “ HEY ALL YOU INDIAN FANS” chant. #maniacs
“Lemme see your body move, ahhhh-ohhh-ah-ah-ah, ahhhh-ohhh-ah-ah-ah”
Carmel will forever and always be our rival
Indians > Rams any day.
You’ll wait forever for a table at Countryside Kitchen, but it’s so worth it
Hands down the best breakfast in Mahopac.
You have to drive approximately eight miles across town for Dunkin Donuts
Or you have to show your face in Stop and Shop just to get Starbucks.
P.S. Dunkin, please stop running out of glazed donuts, you’re ruining my life and Starbucks I’m balling on a budget here so chill with the high prices
You forget you live in a lake town until the first day of summer and you realize you don’t have a boat
You have to start saying no to Sweet 16 invitations because you can’t afford it
Wedding or Sweet 16? There’s not much of difference here, everyone just goes all out for these parties.
You were heartbroken when you found out our only McDonald’s isn’t 24 hours anymore
Your late night munchies just got harder to satisfy. Now you either starve, raid the fridge, or you can take the ride down to Rocky’s.
You’re convinced we have the best bacon, egg and cheese sandwiches in section 1
Bacon, egg and cheese with salt pepper ketchup and an Arizona Iced Tea is the go-to breakfast in the Pac.
The JV Mall was the coolest place to be on a Friday night (until they shut down the movie theater)
Look at that beautiful store front! Word on the street is it’s being renovated. We’ll see if it can live up to the old middle school days when the mall was the hang out spot. But for now it’s just filled with those creepy moving animal things that people pay ride around, I don’t get it.
There’s an unlimited amount of pizza shops and nail salons. (It’s still being determined who has the best pizza in town)
I have a soft spot for Caacciatori’s, but then there’s Benvenuto’s and Paolo’s too.
Senior prom was the peak of your high school existence
Prom is fun, but it’s the trip out to Jersey that the seniors really look forward to.
The library has the nicest view in town
Except no one actually goes there to study.
Coming home from college makes you realize just how boring the town is
Endless trips from the couch to the fridge are pretty much all that’s on the agenda when you’re home from school, oh and naps, lots of naps.
You were so confused and slightly torn when Planet Wings became Mahopac Wings
I felt so betrayed when I learned Planet Wings was gone, it was my favorite wing spot in town and they knew me order by heart. I haven’t tried Mahopac Wings yet, so we’ll see if it can still salvage the hole that now lies in my heart (sheds tear).
White Plains is the next best option to turn up
Unless someone is throwing a house party, which no one ever does, because we’re savages and like to destroy things.
