THE RESTAURANT LINEUP: Dine Huntington Restaurant Week is on fire! To date, 51 of the finest eateries throughout the Town of Huntington are on board to offer a three-course prix-fixe menu at $24.95 per person Oct. 12-23. The newest addition to the Dine Huntington lineup is Northport Tasting Room and Wine Cellar serving… are you ready… Maroni’s. Owner Matthew Spirn’s wine tasting room has no kitchen, but insiders know they can order take-out from nearby restaurants. Spirn has arranged with restaurant superstars Michael and Maria Maroni to cook up their specialties for him to serve at the prix-fixe price during Dine Huntington Restaurant Week.

Sponsored by Lexus of Massapequa, Long Islander Newspapers and Huntington Township Chamber of Commerce, Dine Huntington Restaurant Week is a food fest not to be missed.
