GOT THE SCOOP: We
have trouble keeping up with the new flavors at Foodie favorite
Herrell’s Ice Cream (46L Gerard St, Huntington village
631-673-1100). It seems every time we visit, there’s
something different up on the board. Not to worry, though.
Anytime we feel like it we walk in and ask, “what’s
the scoop?” That produces, if not a scoop, a wooden stick-ful
of the newest flavors. Last week, they were excited to hand
over a sample of Carrot Cake Batter – thick and rich
and slightly spicy; Key Lime Cardamom – cool, green and
with a surprising cardamom kick; and Twinkie – super
sweet and slightly spongy, just like its namesake. Our favorite
though, is Almond Joy, which owner Rick Meuser keeps stashed
in the back. It’s not on the board, but if you ask nicely
he’ll sell you a scoop. Tell him the Foodies sent you.
ALOHA: Huntington Township Chamber of Commerce’s
funnest event of the year (and really, aren’t they all?)
is coming up. Their annual Luau at Crab Meadow Beach, Northport,
will be held on Thursday, July 16 beginning at 6 p.m. A ticket
($85 members, $95 non-members) includes a fabulous buffet
courtesy of Outback Steakhouse, dancing to the reggae beat
of “Jayobe” and a spectacular sunset. Call the Chamber
at 631-423-6100 for more information or to go to www.huntingtonchamber.com
to reserve your place.
