DINNER & A SHOW: Porto Vivo (7 Gerard St., Huntington, 631-385-8486 www.porto-vivo.com) and Northport’s John W. Engeman Theater have teamed up to offer dinner and a show. A diner theater package offered every Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday evening includes a three-course meal and ticket to that evening’s performance for $95 per person. To sweeten the deal, $10 from each package will be donated by Porto Vivo and the Engeman Theater to the Guide Dog Foundation and America’s Vet Dogs charities. Now playing… “Guys and Dolls” through June 19.

MORE BILLY: The Piano Man – Long Island’s own Billy Joel – is getting around in Huntington these days. The most recent sighting was Saturday, May 14, when Billy dined out with girlfriend Alexis Roderick and daughter Alexa Ray Joel at Vitae Restaurant & Wine Bar (54 New St., Huntington, 631-385-1919 www.vitaeli.com). Billy had a Caesar salad and roast chicken; Alexis a lobster cocktail followed by pan-seared scallops; and Alexa a wedge salad and orecchiette with sausage and broccoli rabe. Among the desserts shared were crème brulee, molten lava cake and strawberry shortcake. A bottle of red was shared by the couple with white wine as the choice for Alexa. Perhaps it’s because he’s dating a Centerport girl, but Billy has been seen around town with some frequency, most recently celebrating Alexis’s birthday at Porto-Vivo.

LIVE MUSIC: The music is live at Bel Posto (15 New St., Huntington, 631-421-4600 www.belpostony.com) nearly every night. Coming up on the entertainment schedule, J. Haus plays at 8 p.m. on Friday, May 20; Jill Talve starts at 9 p.m. on Friday, May 21, and catch Mike Dorio starting at 7 p.m. next Wednesday, May 25. Check the website for more upcoming dates.

LADIES NIGHT: HONU Kitchen & Cocktails (363 New York Ave., Huntington, 631-421-6900 www.honukitchen.com) has launched Ladies Night every Thursday night. Ladies are offered half-price signature cocktails at the bar from 8 p.m. to midnight. A DJ starts the music at 9 p.m.

OIL & VINEGAR: The Foodies are intrigued. A sign in the window at the former Blossom store on Huntington’s Main Street reads simply, “Coming Soon – Crushed Olive” to announce the arrival of a retailer of fine olive oils and balsamic vinegars. Looks like we may finally get an answer to our question: Just how does one choose a good balsamic vinegar? Stay tuned for more details.
