There are a couple of outstanding places for music and other live events. The Tilles Center, 720 Northern Blvd., Brookville (tel. 516/299-3100), part of the C. W. Post Campus of Long Island University, boasts a 2,242-seat hall and more than 70 events each season (Sept-June) in music, dance, and theater. Everyone from the Big Apple Circus to Wynton Marsalis has performed there. The North Fork Theatre, 960 Brush Hollow Rd., Westbury (tel. 516/334-0800), tends to host performers of somewhat recent memory, like Tom Jones and Ringo Starr. The Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum, 1255 Hempstead Tpk., Uniondale (tel. 516/794-9303), not only is home to professional hockey's New York Islanders, but also hosts big-name concerts (such as Justin Timberlake) and family shows like Sesame Street Live. Huntington's smaller but wonderful not-for-profit Inter-Media Art Center (IMAC), 370 New York Ave. (tel. 631/549-9666; www.imactheater.org), presents an eclectic concert mix. One bar worth noting: Chesterfields, 330 New York Ave., Huntington (tel. 631/425-1457), which serves up live music.
