ACTUALLY, Heather was correct. Billy Joel did write this song about Christiano's, in Syosset New York...

Many of his songs make references to where he grew up...

Of course, his first album, "Cold Spring Harbor" is a town that borders with Syosset. In "Ballad of Billy the Kid" he references "From a town known as Oyster Bay, Long Island" (The township where Syosset, and Cold Spring Harbor are located).

"The Village Green" is on Jerusalem Road in the East Meadow area; and "The Parkway Diner" is on Hempstead Turnpike near the Wantaugh Parkway. (Also, "Are you going to cruise the miracle mile" from "Still Rock and Roll to me" refers to the same strip of Hempstead Turnpike.)
