HUNTINGTON SOCIAL: Dust off those
spats and get ready to mutter “Baby needs a new pair
of shoes” into the peephole. Huntington Social (330 New
York Ave., Huntington huntingtonsocial.com) – a gastropub
and cocktail lounge recalling Prohibition-era drink parlors
– is set to open in the former Chesterfield’s, upstairs
at the corner of New York Ave. and Main St., in Huntington
village. The vision of famed chef Christopher Lee and co-owners
Frank “Rocky” Bruno (NOMA), Larry Rizzo and Kevin
McCaughan, Huntington Social will recreate the speakeasies
of yesteryear with a modern menu as American as the speakeasy
inspiration. Chef Lee recently returned from the Aspen Classic
where he served up a pretty impressive menu for sponsors Fiji
Water. The signature drink at his new place, though, will
be the bathtub gin. Maybe it’s that or the monkeys in
the logo, but we think we’ll find things delightfully
playful at Huntington Social.
