ANNUAL GUIDE To Huntington Businesses & Professionals
One In A Million The Town of Huntington has some of the most unique communities around, especially its downtowns. Huntington village and Northport Village are currently the strongest, perhaps in part due to the theaters and music venues bringing in foot traffic. Northport draws people in with its waterfront, and Huntington is loaded with top-notch restaurants. Cold Spring Harbor is known for its quaintness, and Greenlawn and East Northport offer small-town charm. What each downtown shares, however, is that they are all the heart of their communities, drawing people in with fairs and events, and giving residents a reason to stay here each and every day. The community is exactly what business owners say keeps their businesses thriving. Sure, offering a unique, targeted product, filling a niche, having stellar
customer service and keeping up with the times always helps, but most owners say Huntington’s embracing community is what keeps them afloat. In return, these businesses give back, sponsoring fundraisers, donating to causes and responding to customers’ needs and desires. Those are the businesses you will read about in this year’s Annual Guide to Huntington Businesses. Remember the “Buy Local” philosophy, of which we are staunch supporters. We have seen first-hand how buying into your community – quite literally – produces a tangible ripple effect on the local economy. The businesses listed in this year’s “Annual Guide to Huntington Business” are your friends, neighbors, family members and community leaders. Do them a favor and patronize their stores. They’ve earned it, and good things like that come back around.

Looking at Huntington’s current pace of development, there are some trends that hint at what the future holds. But, the path the town actually embarks upon will likely be determined by its various stakeholders, decision-makers and residents. Bob Scheiner, former chair of the Huntington Chamber of Commerce and current vice chair, was optimistic about the town’s future and said “there are pieces that seem to be coming together at the same time, which are great.” Considering Melville, where Scheiner continues to work for H2M Architects and Engineers, he lauded the town’s efforts to consciously expand the 110 corridor, hoping that it will eventually have a “life beyond 95, so it becomes a little village all on its own.”
As for Huntington Station, he was hopeful that the recent groundbreaking at the Northridge site — a mixeduse development — marked the start of a bright future for the station, with master development Renaissance Downtowns next eyeing proposed artists’ residences and a hotel. “What’s going on in Huntington Station is certainly a move in the right direction. We’d like to see it quicker,” Scheiner said. He said the town is on track for continued expansion, marked by the ongoing burgeoning of residential development. “I think the village has got almost everybody’s attention with the development of apartments,” Scheiner said. “It will provide living units for all age groups — besides just our millennials — you’re talking about people that are seniors, it’s a great opportunity for them also to live in a (Continued on page 34)

Effects Of The Arts On Huntington Businesses Long Islander News photos/Janee Law
Dawn Enright, assistant to The Firefly Artists gallery in Northport Village, said that while the gallery gets traffic from the John W. Engeman Theater, they also recommend other places people can visit within the village.
By Janee Law jlaw@longislandergroup.com
While Huntington is known for many of its attractions, including upscale restaurants, quaint boutiques and iconic theaters, it might not be the same without its various art galleries, events and venues that bring in more visitors and help make Huntington a destination. Jennifer Lau, co-owner of The Firefly Artists (180 Main St., Northport Village), said the gallery brings in people from across Long Island. “We’ve had a few people come in every month saying that they come from the south shore or Syosset and Manhasset and they’ll come to Northport to pop by all the galleries,” she said; the gallery also promotes other businesses in the village. “I’ve developed close relationships with all the other store owners so certainly when

anybody comes into our place we give them recommendations and we always encourage people to visit other places as well.” Dawn Enright, an assistant at Firefly, said the gallery itself also gets traffic from visitors to the John W. Engeman Theater (250 Main St., Northport Village). She added, “People will walk by us after they’ve seen a show or they’ll come here and notice us because they’re waiting for a show to start and then I would recommend places in the village where they can eat, shop or view other galleries.” Including Firefly, Main Street in Northport Village is populated by five art galleries, Gallery Sixty Seven (67 Main St.), LaMantia Gallery (127 Main St.), Wilkes Gallery (91 Main St.) and Haven Art Gallery (155 Main St.).

The folks at A Rise Above wish to thank their friends and neighbors for their continued patronage. In August they will be celebrating their 38 years of serving Huntington with the finest coffee and fresh-baked goodies in town. When A Rise Above Bake Shop became the official name for the bakery, initially known as The Well Bred Loaf, little changed other than a new sign that was hoisted over the storefront at 333 Main St. in Huntington Village. In fact, even the name on the business cards stayed the same. Owner Mary McDonald took over the bakery in 1988 when her former boss’ successful pre-packaged baked goods business took off. The longtime employees bought the retail bakery business and changed the name to A Rise Above Bake Shop in 1990. She’s kept alive the traditions that have made her shop the oldest and one of Huntington’s most popular bake shops. They bake from scratch using only the finest ingredients like whole eggs, sweet butter, unbleached flour and Callebaut chocolates. Known for their muffins, the shop offers a selection of more than a dozen types every day. In addition to the popular pumpkin, carrot and apple muffins, there are seasonal varieties, like cranberry, peach and blueberry, as well as a line of low-fat muffins for the health conscious. Seasonal fresh fruits dictate the selections of fresh baked pies available each day. Home-baked cookies and Christmas treats are also featured. Between these and the cakes available for all occasions, you’ll have a hard time choosing desserts. A Rise Above is also famous for its scones, baked fresh daily on the premises. They’re the perfect accompaniment to the bake shop’s superb coffee, which is brewed from fresh ground beans from an old, established family coffeehouse in Greenwich Village. Brewed or by the pound, the coffee is available in several gourmet flavors; try their custom mixed house blend. The shop’s fresh baked breads include baguettes, French bread, whole wheat and seven-grain vari-
eties, plus their own Irish soda bread. A Rise Above is open MondaySaturday from 7 a.m.-6 p.m. Service is friendly, and party orders are welcome. Call 631-3519811.

being transported to Paris. The walls are lined with pictures of the Eiffel Tower, photos of the City of Lights, as well as wine bottles on shelves -- creating a quaint and relaxing atmosphere. This charming vibe plays a part in attracting diners, but the major draw is what Chef Adolfo Velasquez creates and serves on a daily basis. Most restaurants serve bread and butter before appetizers, but at Cassis, ibaguette and paté can become appetizers. But don’t skip the escargot Persilles and brie sur toast. For entrees, two to try are magret de canard au Cassis and steak frites. The first is a sliced duck breast and leg, which is tender and served with mushroom confit gratin, raspberries and Cassis sauce. The second dish is a New York strip steak with french fries and butter. The steak is seared perfectly and can be served with a Brandy peppercorn sauce (au poivre) on the side. Bistro Cassis also offers sandwiches like hamburgers, a chicken sandwich and a lobster club sandwich, but if you prefer something heartier, the mussels should not be missed. They are prepared five different ways (mariniere, Provencale, Pernod, au poivre and Espagnole). And what’s a French meal without dessert? The list is long, but everything is equally delicious, and they all are sure to bring a very sweet end to your meal. Located at 55B Wall Street, Cassis serves dinner every day, lunch Monday to Saturday, and an award-winning Sunday brunch. Call 631-421-4122 to make a reservation today.

Gino’s Pizza on Main Street in Huntington Village is a must-visit. With a dizzying selection of options, prepare to treat yourself to something truly unique. Nick, the owner of Gino's Pizza, personally makes sure each pie is made with attention to the smallest detail, and the crew is always happy to see you. Remember that dream you have where you found a place that would put macaroni and cheese on a pizza? Or honey mustard chicken on a pizza? How about ziti? On a pizza? Well, that dream has came true. Looking for something else? Build your own. Choose from pepperoni, meatball, sausage, green pepper, onion, bacon, eggplant sliced tomato, extra cheese, broccoli, black olives, and more. Not in the mood for pie? Gino’s in Huntington also serves soups, chicken, veal, sea food, and spaghetti and meatballs, and more. Try a panini, or some broccoli rabe. Maybe lobster ravioli. And be sure to ask about the putanesca. Top it all off with cheesecake, tiramisu, or maybe Mini Melts. Round up the family for a night in the village, or stop in for lunch during the week. Gino’s Pizza’s full menu can be found at ginospizzeriahuntington.com. They are conveniently located at 318 Main Street in Huntington Village, and can be reached at: 631-427-4466.

Specializing in the paintings of Eric Sloane, Green River Gallery owner Art Kerber buys, collects and sells Sloane’s paintings of barns, farms, woodsheds, plows, marshes, roads, covered bridges, skies and clouds. Sloane was a painter of landscapes, especially marsh scenes and picturesque rural vistas. His best-known painting, Earth Flight Environment, is a
mural in the lobby of the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum. Sloane authored 38 books on American History, rural architecture, early American tools, weather, and aviation. Many of Sloane’s aviation and cloud paintings were of views from his home on the North Shore of Long Island where he lived until the early 1950’s. Green River Gallery is also featuring several of Sloane’s autumn views, many of which were painted after he relocated to Merryall, a farm in northwestern Connecticut. In 1975, Sloane built a home in La Tierra, near Santa Fe, which he named Las Nieves (The Clouds). He loved weather and cloudscapes, and said he “really discovered the sky in Taos.” Clouds and weather dominated the majority of his landscapes in New England, Pennsylvania and New Mexico. Green River Gallery is open Thursdays 12-5 p.m., Fridays 11 a.m.-5 p.m., or by appointment., and located at 117 Main Street, Cold Spring Harbor. 631-6928188.

Since 2009, the Huntington Township Business Council (HTBC) has worked to align the community and community stakeholders in supporting local business and the Township of Huntington. The next step is to provide direct advocacy and support to candidates, committees and initiatives whose goals match those of HTBC, a non-partisan political action committee (PAC), whose mission is to promote and strive for the improvement of state and local government; encourage individuals to take an active role in the political process; and assist individuals in organizing themselves for more effective political action. HTBC PAC is funded through donations by local businesses and private citizens. In addition to bringing significant financial resources to bear in key races, HTBC PAC mobilizes the business community to action in other ways, including advocacy, get-out-thevote, grassroots, earned media activities and paid advertising in support or opposed to initiatives & candidates not aligned to HTBC PAC and community goals. HTBC PAC members believe in the need for active participation in the political process to assure that the voice of Huntington employers and citizens concerned about the business environment and local economy is heard at the ballot box. Individuals or businesses concerned about promoting a positive pro-business economic environment in Huntington, Suffolk County and New York State are encouraged to get involved. In addition to campaign funds, advertising and advertorial support, HTBC PAC provides probusiness candidates with grassroots support for their election efforts. Working with local chambers of commerce, community stakeholders and businesses across Long Island, HTBC PAC helps educate voters about the positions that local and statewide candidates
take on issues effecting our economy and our communities. HTBC PAC members are kept up to date on the opportunities to support pro-business candidates in their area. HTBC PAC members are provided with voting records, candidate questionnaires, and other information to help them and their employees cast educated votes in elections. Learn more, contribute or register for alerts at www.huntingtonbusinesscouncil.com.

At Rocking Horse Ices, the cutest little ice cream shop in Northport, owner Diane Mondello operates her own ice cream business. Her spot at 112 Main Street was purchased in July of 2013 and the workers of Rocking Horse Ices have been giving the people of Northport more than 26 flavors of ice cream and ices for 3 wonderful years. The shop sells its favorite brands of ice cream, Schrafft’s and Sedutto premium ice cream, which are brands that the other village ice cream shops do not carry. Rocking Horse also carries Corona Ices from the Lemon Ice King in Corona, L&B Spumoni and is the only ice cream shop in town to carry Mini Melts. Customer preference often relates to age; the kids like the Superman ice cream; high school-aged boys seem to like the milkshakes (popular flavors include Mint Chocolate Chip,
Cookies and Cream, and “Hotel Blackbottom Pie”: a vanilla-based ice cream with a chocolate fudge swirl, pieces of vanilla cake and chocolate cookies, and coconut and chocolate chips). In addition, to help tie the Northport community into their daily store dealings, their store mascot, Ridley Oliver the rocking horse, was named by 2 winners of their “Name the Rocking Horse Contest.” With ice cream, gelato, soft serve, shakes and floats, mini melts, sundaes, banana splits, waffle sandwiches, polar peaks, bubble tea, Italian ices, L & B Spumoni, macarons, and more, the amount of choices is enough to make a sweets-lover’s head spin with excitement! And the treats don’t stop there! The Belly rewards customer loyalty program point system, which was featured on the front page of the Newsday business section, is a great way to rack up points to earn free toppings or ice cream cone at your next
visit. Follow them on Instagram @rockinghorseicesandicecream or call them at 631-651-5610.

Tim’s Shipwreck Diner, which is located at 46 Main Street in the Northport village, has undergone some major changes this year! “American Diner Revival,” a rel-
atively new show on the Food Network, centered their pilot episode on an enormous renovation of the historic Northport diner, which took owner Tim Hess (who knew nothing of the renovation until he saw it completed) totally by surprise. Even with all of the new limelight, however, Tim continues to run his diner as he always has. In his typical fashion, he creates an environment that regulars love to come back to, time and time again. The staff strives to make their customers feel comfortable and close like family, making it hard to just visit once. The interior is new, but the charm is as timeless as it ever has been.

They are open every day of the week, from 8 a.m. – 3 p.m. Call 631-754-1797 or visit

What will Huntington look like in 20 years? (Continued from page 6)
downtown area.” Scheiner also believes that with “any kind of intensification,” special attention must be paid to balancing factors like parking and waste water treatment. A frequent commentator on development and the town’s history, Old Huntington Green President Paul Warburgh also advocated for more growth in the near future, but asserted it should be done tastefully. “I’m in favor of tasteful development. You can do it right, but these developers want to do it cheaply,” Warburgh said. He looked to the Ice House Apartments, created by managing partner
Peter Pastorelli, as an example of development done properly with its allbrick, timeless facade. Looking 20 years ahead, Warburgh, who would then be 96, painted an idyllic vision of the town. “I’m a positive, forward thinker, with a view toward history,” Warburgh said. Seeing the town’s rapid pace of development over his almost 70 years in the town, he hoped for a “real walkable downtown.” Back to the business realm, current chamber chairman Brian Yudewitz also forecasted expansion, but in the narrower areas of boutique shopping. “We’ve already seen it where downtown Huntington has really be-
come different. There’s more housing being built. The larger stores are becoming more boutique-like,” Yudewitz said. Keeping up to date on his research, he believed general shopping might soon be overtaken by companies like Amazon, who are making a push toward establishing local distribution centers. “You might be able to able to buy something online, then just run to pick it up or have it delivered,” Yudewitz said. He likened the shift to one about 20 years back, when chains like Staples and OfficeMax started to rise to prominence, all but knocking out stationery stores and print shops.
The owners of the John W. Engeman Theater in Northport have presented a plan to the community to create a hotel in the village, another marker of the town’s trend toward expansion. “Businesses drive the economy and your local businesses drive your local economy. I still think there’s still going to be a strong need to support local shops.”
Effects of the arts on Huntington businesses (Continued from page 7)
Erica Berkowitz, co-owner of Haven Gallery, said that with art blossoming in the village, so are the other businesses. “People who like to support the arts also like to support independently run businesses and businesses that have a curatorial eye so it’s more hand selected pieces that come with character and integrity and I think that crosses over with the gallery world,” Berkowitz said. “For example, we have people who come from New Jersey and they buy art from us but they also love Clipper Ship Tea Company so when they come here they always make it a point to stock up on their tea.” Along with galleries, the village is known for its events that celebrate the arts, including the Annual Music and Arts Festival in Village Park. Gina Nisi, co-owner of Carl’s Candies (50 Main St., Northport Village), said any event that drives people to the village generates more traffic for her store. “Whenever there’s a festivity going on in the park we get busy,” she said. “They’re always a good draw.” She added that while parents come to the village for art shows at galleries, their kids come to the shop. Barefoot Image owners Fred and Susan Richtberg also produce the Happenings on Main Street program, an annual occurrence featuring performances by singer-songwriters in Village Park each Friday through the summer. “It brings people into the village,” Susan said. “We’re all connected to whomever comes in and we send them up and down the street and make sure they know all about the events.” West of Northport, in Huntington village, there are also plenty of art galleries.
Erica Berkowitz, right, co-owner of Haven Gallery in Northport Village, said that with art blossoming in the village, so are the other businesses on Main Street. Berkowitz is pictured with gallery archivist Jackie Weinreb. There are four galleries sprinkled throughout Huntington village, b.j. spoke gallery (299 Main St.), Chelsea Studio & Gallery (8 West Carver St.), fotofoto gallery (14 West Carver St.) and Huntington Art Center (11 Wall St.). There’s also the Heckscher Museum of Art at 2 Prime Ave., which offers educational programs and rotating
exhibitions. Marc Feld, owner of The Optical Shoppe Of Huntington (7 Wall St., Huntington), said art galleries in the area are also a positive influence on businesses within the village. “There’s no negative impact at all,” he said. “It brings people into town and it brings a little culture into the
town as well.” Feld said there’s also a benefit being located next to Huntington Art Center, adding that the shop gets traffic after an art show. Tom Northrop, partner Huntington Arts Center, said the gallery is very involved with the businesses. “What’s great about the galleries is we’re trying to make a community with everybody and trying to connect,” he said. “We have a couple of events that incorporates everybody which I think is great.” Kevin Larkin, president of b.j. spoke gallery, said that the gallery has had a positive impact on the village, whether it’s promoting local business to customers by making recommendations to local eateries or shops, or bringing artists from across the country into the village. Menachem Luchins, owner of Escape Pod Comics (302 Main St.), said that he’s had artists from galleries come to his shop as customers. With other attractions like The Paramount, The Cinema Arts Center and the Huntington Arts Council, Luchins said Huntington wouldn’t be the same without the influence of the arts. “I think that the art galleries bring in a specific kind of traffic that helps shape the general feeling of Huntington,” he said. “For my personal business, having people who appreciate visual mediums is definitely helpful.” The Annual Summer Arts Festival is currently in full swing each TuesdaySunday at Heckscher Park, Mary Munoz, co-owner at The Olive Tree Of Huntington Village (307 Main St.), said she notices more traffic within the village whenever there’s a show. She added, “It brings people in that are interested in seeing what the town’s about and what we offer.”
