GOTTI’S NIGHT OUT: It was a girl’s night out for Victoria Gotti at Huntington Harbor’s Prime (117 New York Avenue, Huntington 631-385 1515 www.restaurantprime. com). After a book-signing and talk at Book Revue on Saturday, Oct. 3, the reality show star and daughter of organized crime boss John Gotti dined with three guests at a table with a water view. Gotti began with a salad of baby spinach, maytag blue cheese, bacon, red onion and walnuts and ended with Beef Wellington (filet mignon, mushroom duxelles, bordelaise, brie fondue, puff pastry).

NEW AT HONU: Be on the lookout for a menu overhaul by Huntington hot spot Honu Kitchen and Cocktails. Word is that traditional composed plates will replace the small plates concept at Honu.

GOURMET TO FOLD: Sad news on the Foodie front – Condé Nast’s Gourmet magazine is slated to fold at the end of the year after 70 years in business, CNN reports. Condé Nast officials say the magazine, which has more than 1 million subscribers, has been slain by television cooking shows, and online sales nibbled away at advertising revenue. The publisher, though, will use the Gourmet name in publishing books and producing TV shows, and will post Gourmet recipes on epicurious.com. Here’s hoping they make it long enough to put out their annual November issue – preparing the featured meal has become a Thanksgiving tradition for many gourmands.
