HAPPY 100TH BIRTHDAY: The party continues at Finnegan’s
Restaurant and Tap Room – and it hasn’t even begun
yet! The landmark Huntington eatery (and drinkery) is celebrating
its 100th anniversary on July 28 with a party on Wall Street
that will include a bartender’s reunion, among other
festivities. Leading up to the big day, there are specials
every day and night of the week starting Thursday, July 5.
Offerings are as follows: Sunday-Picnic Basket with buttermilk
fried chicken, coleslaw, corn stick and sweet potato fries
($14.25); Monday-Soft Shell Crab ($15.95); Tuesday-Yankee
Pot Roast ($14.50); Wednesday-Corned Beef and Cabbage ($13.50);
Thursday-Chef’s Pasta ($14.95); Friday-Mussels Pot with
Fries ($14.95); and Saturday- Jack Daniels Honey BBQ Ribs
($15.95).
NEW FADO MENU: Huntington village’s favorite Portuguese
restaurant Fado (10 New St., Huntington village, 631-351-1010)
is on a roll. Not only did they just open up their second
floor for private parties and dining on Friday and Saturday
nights, they’ve just overhauled their menu. Allison and
Eddie Nobre went wild with imagination, adding new appetizers,
soups, salads and entrees, giving classic dishes a new spin
and bringing popular specials like their Fisherman’s
Stew to the main menu. If you’re a regular, you’ll
have plenty of new treats to explore. If you’ve not been
there in a while, it’s all the more reason to stop by.
Tell ‘em the Foodies sent you!
BACK-ROOM SALE: Chocolate season, so to speak, is usually
the cooler months of the year, but for bargain-hunting chocoholics,
July is prime time. Bon Bons Chocolatier (319 Main St., Huntington
village 631-549-1059) is opening up the back room for some
summertime bargains. Starting on Friday the 13th, owner Mary
Alice Meinersman offered up an assortment of candies and seasonal
merchandise – an eclectic mix of fun things, as she describes
it – at 50 percent or more off their retail price through
the end of July. Rack up $15 worth of purchases in the back
room and that entitles you to a 15-percent off coupon for
one item up front. Those coupons will be good through August,
she said. But to answer the most important question –
yes, the chocolate smell is just as beguiling in the back
room as it is up front.
KASHI HEADS WEST: Congrats are in order for Kashi (12 Elm
St., Huntington 631-923-1960, kashijapanese.com) as the inventive
and eclectic Japanese restaurant prepares to open its second
location on Sunrise Highway in the village of Rockville Centre.
In the meantime, enjoy Kashi in your backyard and its $25
early dinner prix-fixe Sunday-Thursday as well as drink specials
at the bar during Happy Hour from Monday-Friday.
