WATERFRONT WONDER: Prime American Kitchen & Bar,
(117 New York Avenue, 631.385.1515, www.restaurantprime.com)
is more than just beautiful views, first class service, a
hip buzz; their superb kitchen offers more than just superb
trendy food. Two restaurant menu mainstays were perfectly
prepared and beautifully served. The Teller’s Ribeye
(namesake of Teller’s Chophouse) was grilled to perfection
and an unbelievable delicious 38 ounces of heaven, $49. The
Seared Tuna served over a tower of Asian Vegetable Salad,
Soba Noodles, Cashews, Citrus Soy Dressing, Orange Oil, $33
rivals the dish in any of Manhattan’s finest eateries.
If you haven’t been there yet, you should experience
the union of the latest trends in New American cuisine and
design creating a first-class dining destination for the most
discriminating and hungry Long Islanders.
DID YOU SAY OATMEAL? Your favorite coffee emporium
continues the expansion of its wholesome offerings. Peter,
the manager of the Starbucks in the Village, suggested the
new Starbucks “Perfect Oatmeal” 100% whole grain
– 140 cal, 5g protein and 4g of fiber before you finish
it off with your choice of dried fruit, nut medley or brown
sugar. The tasty accompaniment to our morning coffee is perhaps
a better way to start the day than with the Starbucks Chocolate
Chip Cookie. We recommend the tasty oatmeal but really love
the cookie. Good morning.
NOMA: The new menu is absolutely worth a try at NOMA (70 Gerard
Street 631.923.1570, www.nomarestaurant.com) From Spicy Crunchy
Tuna Roll w/ avocado, seaweed salad and wasabi peas at $13,
to an opening cheese plate of truffle pecorino, scarmorza,
gorgonzola, mozzarella and parmigiano, $15 to Meatball Sliders
w/ roasted tomato, fontina @ $13 or a Big Eye Tuna Napoleon
w/ cucumber, soy, honey glaze, wakame salad, wasabi mayo,
$13, we can’t seem to get passed the starters –
try an assortment for dinner. Their pasta, pizzas, salads
and sandwiches seem to be just as interesting. It’ll
take us several visits to sample the pleasures at the Gerard
Street dining spot.
FLAY HEY: We can’t attest to the food quality
and have heard mixed reviews, but several sources have told
us that celebrity chef Bobby Flay, owner of Bobby’s Burger
Palace (BBP) at the Smith Haven Mall, is somewhat of a regular
behind the grill. The new burger joint is the flagship of
the Throwdown master’s nascent chain. He selected the
location so that it was close to his Manhattan home so that
he could personally manage the launch. According to the Long
Island Business News blog interview with Flay, business is
good and “the favorites on the menu so far were the Palace
Classic Burger with American Cheese, red onion lettuce and
tomato for $6.50, the Crunchburger, with double American cheese
topped with potato chips, and any of the 10 different flavored
milk shakes at $5 a shot. ‘The shakes are awesome,”
said Flay.
BURGER WISH: In celebration of the 30th anniversary
of their founding in 1978, on Sundays in September at Morton’s
if you have a prime sirloin burger for $19.78 they will donate
$5 to the Make-A-Wish Foundation as part of their “30
Wishes for 30 Years” campaign, which will contribute
a minimum of $125,000 to make 30 wishes come true for children
diagnosed with life-threatening medical conditions. Morton’s,
The Steakhouse - 777 Northern Blvd. Great Neck, (516) 498-2950.
