New York State Route 102 (NY 102) is an east–west state highway in Nassau County, New York, in the United States. It is little more than an alternate route of NY 24 through the town of Hempstead. NY 102 goes under the Meadowbrook State Parkway, but has no connecting ramps to or from the parkway. It does, however have a right-of-way for a formerly proposed eastbound lane. The route begins at an intersction with William Street in Hempstead before ending at NY 24 in East Meadow.
NY 102 was assigned in the 1930s and has not been changed significantly since. Until 2017, NY 102 left NY 24 in West Hempstead and followed Front Street through the village of Hempstead and Uniondale before rejoining NY 24 in East Meadow. The portion of NY 102 west of William Street was maintained by Nassau County as County Route 106 and was unsigned while the remainder of the highway is maintained by the New York State Department of Transportation and signed.
NY 102 begins at an intersection with William Street in the village of Hempstead. The route winds eastward through Hempstead for several blocks along the now four-lane road, passing numerous residences and apartment buildings. NY 102 bends northeast, intersecting with Uniondale Avenue in Uniondale. At this junction, the route becomes commercial in nature once again, crossing several blocks of businesses until Locust Avenue. Now two lanes, NY 102 continues northeast through Uniondale, crossing under the six lanes of the Meadowbrook State Parkway (with no interchange present). After the Meadowbrook, the route continues to bend northeast, passing through more residences and large commercial strips. A short distance later, the route intersects with Merrick Avenue, entering the Barnum Woods section of East Meadow.
