best area to live on long island?

I am talking to a company about a position on Long Island (near Commack). what are the best places to live? I don't want more than 45min commute.

I am white, late 20s, single, and an engineer. I really like places where you can walk to nightlife. it does not have to be spectacular nightlife, but something. I absolutely hate suburbs. I want to live somewhere with a city feel. basically, wherever you find hipsters is probably where I want to live (though, i am not a hipster myself). I like art, coffee shops, plays, live music, ect.

I will be making an engineer salary, so I can afford a decent amount of rent. also, I don't mind sketchy areas if they are close to nightlife (I feel perfectly comfortable in Baltimore and Detroit)

also, closer to Manhattan is always good.

Thanks

    Huntington, Long Island is probably the closest spot to what your looking for. Its about 20 min north of Commack and has got a really great atmosphere. Great Bars, restaurants and quaint feel. Go take a drive around you'll see what i'm talking about. Check out "Little Vincent's Pizza", its the best on Long Island for sure...."Cold Cheese" slice is the way to go, just ask for it and they will know what you want. Good luck!
