Distinguished as a center of excellence in Nassau County, New Hyde Park meets the highest standards of suburban life.  One of the crowning jewels that reflect the community's unusual sense of pride and perfectionism is the Long Island Jewish Medical Center.  The superb school system and Hillside Public Library are equally impressive in their services and resources.  Sports and hobby clubs as well as civic and social organizations receive resounding support, boosted by a strong spirit of volunteerism.  The diversity of the local economy is reflected in the active chamber of commerce in this small but densely populated village.  The variety of cuisines and settings in the local cafes and restaurants is so impressive that the entire village can seem like an upscale food court to the casual observer.
