Clarification

The original answer noted "not located in Westbury, New York but in Westbury, Long Island." This reflects a postal vs. municipal distinction: Westbury is a village in Nassau County on Long Island. "Westbury, New York" and "Westbury, Long Island" refer to the same place—Long Island is the geographic island; New York is the state.
