THEY BUILT A BETTER BURGER: There’s a new burger in town.
A complete spring menu makeover at Porto Vivo (7 Gerard St.,
Huntington, 631-385-8486, www.porto-vivo.com) includes the
addition of a superb burger. Chef Giuseppe Napoli’s Kobe
beef-based blend weighs in at 10 ounces and is piled high
with bacon, pancetta, avocado, lettuce, tomato and red onion.
It’s so tall it needs a stake to hold burger, bun, and
extras in place, which gives the chef a nifty place to poke
the pickle spear. It’s served on a wood plank with Porto-Vivo’s
signature herbed-parmesan fries. A few things you’ll
need to know: it’s available only on the bar menu, and
when you’re ready to eat, lift the burger with both hands,
find a spot to go in, and don’t put it down until you
are finished.
MUSIC AT PERFECTO MUNDO: Perfecto Mundo Latin Fusion Bistro
(1141-1 Jericho Turnpike, Commack, 631-864-2777) livens things

MORNING, SUNSHINE: No one calls this Foodie “Sunshine”
in the morning. Perhaps what we need is the dose of healthy
goodness found in Lisa Harris’s Morning Sunshine Breakfast
Cookie. It’s always at Lisa’s shop, Caffe Portofino
(249 Main St., Northport, 631-262-7656, www.caffeportofino11768.com)
