GHAPPY ANNIVERSARY: Join Perfecto
Mundo (1141-1 Jericho Turnpike, Commack, 631-864-2777, www.perfectomundoli.com)
this Saturday, Sept. 17, and help Liz Keschl celebrate the
one-year anniversary of her Latin fusion restaurant. There
will be live music with blues, bluegrass, folk performers
Annie and Chris beginning at 9 p.m. Happy anniversary!
DECADES OF MEEHAN’S: Speaking of anniversaries, brothers
Michael and Patrick Meehan, are celebrating the 20th anniversary
of their restaurant, Meehan’s of Huntington (371 New
York Ave., Huntington, 631-351-0831, www.meehansrestaurant.com).
A landmark in Huntington village, Meehan’s is what we’ll
call refined casual. Although they have a lively bar scene,
Meehan’s strives to be much more than a pub. Yes, they
have terrific burgers, and the chili is pretty good, but diners
also find a full menu of appetizers, hearty entree selections
and salads, popular for lunch and dinner. Since they first
opened “sometime in September” 20 years ago, Meehan’s
has expanded, adding The Oak Room for catered parties, and
an outdoor dining patio in the alley next door. Nothing special’s
planned for the anniversary celebration, so next time you’re
in, make it a point to wish the boys a happy 20th anniversary.
VITAE TASTING: Vitae Restaurant & Wine Bar (54 New St.,
Huntington, 631-385-1919, www.vitaeli.com) has put together
a Flora Springs wine dinner for Monday, Sept. 26, 7 p.m. A
four-course menu will feature wine pairings from Flora Springs
Winery of Napa Valley. Guests will start with a chilled Oyster
Escabeche with preserved lemon, pink grapefruit-red onion
mojo, and cilantro chiffonade paired with Flora Springs’
2009 Sauvignon Blanc Soliloquy. Next, Columbian spiced duck
breast with sweet potato-maple flan, leek-mushroom & tomato
succotash and balsamic-cherry gastrique, paired with a 2008
Merlot. For the main course, roast loin of veal with rustic

romesco drizzle, and veal jus is paired with Flora Springs
2007 Trilogy. And for dessert, chocolate brioche bread pudding
with raspberry coulis, vanilla anglaise, buttermilk gelato
and cocoa dusting is served with a Flora Springs Port. A seat
at the table is $85 per person. Reserve online or call.
TASTE OF THE TOWN: Stuart Thomas Manor (2143 Boundary Ave.,
Farmingdale, 516-845-1151, www.stuartthomasmanor.com) will
