If you are taking the LIRR into Belmont, I do have one sure thing for the day.
I was there for the Big Brown fiasco and avoided the chaos on the platform by taking a right down Hempstead Ave. (cab will be quickest), passing over the Cross Island Parkway then 6 blocks down, a right onto Springfield . That will take you after 5 blocks to the Queen's Village train depot. We waited about 15 minutes and an almost empty train pulled up! The next day we learned of the horror stories of those stuck for hours and to add insult to injury they had turned off the water/bathrooms mid-day that year due to to record heat.
The map in case anyone needs it:
