    Well, the biggest one I know of is Utopia in Hicksville (I think they have a location in Centereach to). There's also a small store in Farmingdale, called Cozmik Debris, though I haven't been there in a while.

    Yep, there are two Utopia's (Centerreach is the other one).
    I got to Funtazia in East Meadow on Hempstead Turnpike sometimes.
