VITAE: TO LIFE!: You’ve
got to get up pretty early in the morning to beat a true Foodie
to the hottest new restaurant news. For the rest of the world,
Vitae recently held a grand-opening ribbon-cutting celebration
at their newly opened restaurant on New and Carver streets
in Huntington village. Joining owner Linda Rehnstedt and general
manager John Estevez on the balcony are members of the Huntington
Township Chamber of Commerce board of directors, town board
members Mark Cuthbertson and Susan Berland, and Town Clerk
Jo-ann Raia.
FOOT-LONG STEAK: If aging is good for steaks, it’s great
for steakhouses. For more than a quarter century, The Clubhouse
has been “the place for steaks” in Huntington. This
week, owner Jeff Bies’ foot-long skirt steak special
– served with bourbon d’onions and mushrooms –
is $25 per person. The special changes after Friday, July
29.
FISH FEAST: For a recent North Shore Animal League benefit
featuring puppies, kittens, Ferraris and the wife of Howard
Stern, Prime – An American Kitchen (117 New York Ave.,

FOR YOU, LOCALVORES: The next best thing to growing your own,
and much less work, is hitting your local farm stand. And
while those are becoming scarcer and scarcer, there are a
handful of farmers markets out there bringing locally grown
produce to your backyard. In Huntington village, hit the Elm
Street parking lot on the Main Street side Sundays between
7 a.m. and noon. In Northport, the veggies roll in to the
Cow Harbor Park parking lot Saturdays between 8 a.m. and 1
p.m.
