DINE HUNTINGTON: Save the dates and save your appetite
for Dine Huntington Restaurant Week, Oct. 10-17 (If you wrote
down September dates based on previous columns, erase ’em.
Dine Huntington will again follow the LI Fall Festival presented
by our Restaurant Week co-sponsor, Huntington Township Chamber
of Commerce.) Some of Huntington’s finest dining spots
have already signed on and will offer a 3-course, prix-fixe
dining experience for $24.95 per person. Among the first to
come aboard are Red, Osteria da Nino, Tutto Pazzo, Rookies
Sports Club, Almarco and La Bottega… and we’re just
getting started. Tell your favorite restaurant to get on board.
GOURMET SUMMER SPECIALS: Porto Vivo (7 Gerard St.,
Huntington 631-385-8486 www.porto-vivo.com) presents gourmet
summer specials on Sundays and Mondays from 5-11 p.m. Diners

angus beef rib-eye steak for $25. Pair with sides such as:
zucchini sautéed in garlic oil, sautéed mushrooms,
truffle mashed potatoes, ricotta gnocchi gratin, crispy potato
roesti, sautéed spinach, grilled asparagus, or Porto

HONU DOES LOBSTER: HONU Kitchen & Cocktails (363
New York Ave., Huntington 631-421-6900 www.honukitchen.com)
is going lobster crazy with new lobster menu items for the
summer. Twin lobster tails ($34) include a pair of 6-ounce,
butter-poached tails with mashed potatoes; or add some turf
with the Surf & Turf ($42) combination, a 10-ounce filet
mignon and 6-ounce butter-poached lobster tail with mashed

LOBSTER BAKE: Northport Fish and Lobster Co. puts its
best critters forward for a fundraiser at Lewis Oliver Farm
(7 Burt Ave., Northport. 631-261-6320) on Saturday, Aug. 7,
2-7 p.m. In addition to all the lobster bake specialties,
there will be hay rides, face painting, a pie-eating contest
and pony rides, plus music by Steve Edwards and the Barnstompers.
Admission to the Barnyard Bash and Lobster Bake is free; cost
for food varies. The event benefits Friends of the Farm and
100 percent of money raised will go toward feeding and caring
for the animals and preserving the farm.
SPECIAL SLOE’S: The best barbeque spare ribs special
in town these days is at Smoking Sloe’s (847 Fort Salonga
Road, Northport 631-651-8812 www.smokingsloes.com). Monday
through Friday, $15.99 per person gets you all-you-can-eat
spare ribs with cole slaw, corn bread and choice of two sides.
Awesome! Smoking Sloe’s owner Roger Montague’s dry-rub
ribs are smoked with love (very slowly, that is) until all
that goodness just falls off the bone. It’s as close
to Southern barbeque as you’ll find this side of a North
Carolina roadside.
