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 peo-

ple 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.

TO HUNTINGTON BUSINESSES & PROFESSIONALS

Why Has Your Business Been Successful?

Everyone’s success story is different, but if there’s one thing that’s the same, it’s that most have learned from others’ triumphs and failures.

In the spirit of sharing knowledge and experience, we asked several local business owners to give us one reason they believe their businesses has been successful. Here are their answers.

“[We have been successful because] Huntington has been so welcoming to our brand.”

“Probably working over 100 hours a week on average.”

CAPTAIN JAMES SCHNEIDER, co-owner, James Joseph Fishing (Huntington)

CHRIS GUCCIARDO, Better Homes And Gardens – Atlantic Shores (Huntington)

“Enthusiastic customers!”

JENNIFER KESCHNER, owner, Eat Good Market

“Listening to our customers – that’s how our business evolved. It was about having a great product and listening to our customers and what they wanted.”

MARY ALICE MEINSERSMAN, owner, Bon Bons Chocolatier (Huntington)

“Consistent quality of service.

We maintain our level of training of our team members [and] our goal is to exceed our client’s expectations with every visit.”

“We don’t cut corners…

People appreciate the very high quality ingredients and the care we take in preparing every single thing here. If I wouldn’t put it in my mouth – and I have really high standards – I don’t expect my customers to eat it.”

ADRIANA AND JOHN VATER, coowners, Spa Adriana (Huntington)

CAROLYN ARCARIO, Wild Flours Bake Shop (Huntington)

“We feel like we’re part of a community, and we care about that community. If I care about the community, I’m going to care about you because you’re part of my town.”

DAVID WALSDORF, President, Walsdorf Insurance Agency (Huntington)

“Our customers make our business. We try to make everybody happy with good customer service, and we really give back to the community.”

LORI BADANES, owner, Einstein’s Attic (Northport)

“[We’re] a family operation for over 60 years and I’ve been here for 40. The customer is always right… Stand[ing] behind your work, which I do with a warranty, and customer service are the main things.”

JOE COLAMUSSI JR., owner, Oakwood Car Care Center

A Rise Above Bake Shop The folks at A Rise Above wish to thank their friends and neighbors for their continued patronage. In August they will be celebrating their 35 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 varieties, 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 631-351-9811.

Adult Day Care, Social Programming for Suffolk County Seniors Supervisor Frank Petrone and the Huntington Town Council through the Adult Day Care program offer a plethora of exemplary programming to all people ages 60 and over residing within the township.

The pride of the social model Adult Day Care Facility emanates from the success of redirecting the appearance of “cognitive wandering” in a mature adult to a state of comfort, warm familiarity, and a return to the feeling of being in control. For those who are experiencing a decreased level of physical and cognitive abilities, providing a safe, nurturing environment, while engaging specialized programming, i.e., light exercise, sports, yoga, tai-chi, arts & crafts, social events, parties with live entertainment and intergenerational pageantry increases a feeling of one’s self esteem and a desire to participate in therapeutic socialization along with basic, friendly lunchtime conversation.

The program is open to improve intellectual stimulation and social interaction with peers Monday-Friday from 8 a.m.-4

area. Its mission is the promotion of commerce, economic development and job creation through the coordinated effort of its membership.

The chamber was established by a group of businessmen led by August Heckscher to widen the scope of an existing Huntington village improvement organization. Incorporated in 1925, it expanded representation beyond Huntington village to include Huntington Station and all the other hamlets of Huntington Township, from Cold Spring Harbor to Commack.

The Town of Huntington is unique. Its businesses range from small boutique shops to major international companies.

There is also a diverse network of not-forprofit organizations.

The chamber aims to be proactive and be able to respond to the needs of its members in all of the communities it represents. The chamber serves members through government advocacy, networking, community service and education.

The chamber develops public policy positions, provides networking opportunities to create a stronger business environment and promotes economic development, job growth, education and an enhanced quality of life.

The chamber is actively involved in promoting business interests. The chamber is the force behind the Long Island Fall Festival at Huntington which draws tens of thousands of visitors to Huntington and showcases the town’s best assets – its businesses, nonprofits and cultural institutions.

Among recent initiatives, the chamber has co-sponsored Dine Huntington Restaurant Week to promote the vital restaurant industry; spearheaded the award-winning “It Starts Here – Buy Locally” campaign in cooperation with Northport, East Northport and Melville chambers; proactively supported issues and development projects deemed by its government relations committee to be in the interest of the business community; and increased cooperation and communication with local chambers of commerce and regional business organizations.

The Chamber has played a leading role – including partial funding — in the Huntington Village Parking Consortium’s

studies and recommendations on parking problems in the village’s downtown area.

As a result, new multi-meters have been installed in the village, a tiered fee structure implemented, and free weekend valet parking was recently launched. For the long term, options and ideas for parking structures are actively being explored with an emphasis on a public/private partnership.

Membership has its benefits, including access to networking opportunities and events; professional development seminars and workshops; a small business advisory committee and access to the cost-saving Adelphi University MBA program; and promotion and business-tobusiness referrals. In addition to receiving regular updates and the chamber’s ENewsline, members are kept informed through subscriptions to The LongIslander and Times of Huntington newspapers included in the cost of membership.

Membership also includes listing in the newly launched MyChamber smartphone app which anyone can use to get directions or dial a business direct.

Members also get discounted admission to the chamber’s informative events and networking breakfasts. The annual lineup includes the popular Meet the Media Breakfast, Government Reports Breakfast, and Summer Luau at Sunset.

Secrets To Sales: For Top Honda Agent, It’s All About Respect Long Islander News photo/Danny Schrafel

CENTERPORT

Harborfields School District # 6 Spectacular Waterfront Home

Ray Brown, left, general manager of Huntington Honda, says Abul “A.K.” Bhuiyan sells more Hondas each year than any other person in the United States.

By Danny Schrafel dschrafel@longislandergroup.com

“How do you think he does it? I don’t know. What makes him so good?”

Just like in the penultimate “Pinball Wizard” scene in The Who’s rock opera “Tommy,” it’s the code that many who have seen Huntington Honda salesman Abul Bhuiyan’s in action have been trying to crack for years.

But ask the man that everybody at the Jericho Turnpike dealership calls A.K. for short, and he says the reason he’s Honda’s top salesman in the Northeast – and the United States, for that matter – for as long as anybody can remember is pretty simple: In a nutshell, mutual respect must be the paramount value in every transaction.

“In this business, you have to be very sincere and honest. So, I am,” Bhuiyan said.

A.K. drives tens of millions of dollars of business to Huntington Honda each year.

Last year, 939 customers signed on the dotted line to buy a Honda from him, and he’s on the same blistering pace in 2014.

Last month, he sold 107 cars. Brown said his top salesman averages about 80 cars a month.

In a business where shoppers often walk into the dealership skeptical and nervous about the amount of money they’re about to spend, an emphasis on honesty and straight talk leads to happy, loyal customers who refer A.K. to their friends and keep buying cars from Huntington Honda.

And that makes for a very happy general manager in Ray Brown.

Brown, who’s been the general manager of Huntington Honda for the last two

years and worked with Bhuiyan since the early 2000s, said his colleague is the consummate “customer advocate.”

“What’s unique about him is his ability to make people feel comfortable,” he explained. “The overall sales experience, especially the experience of buying a car, people usually fear going through that experience. He creates an ease of doing business.”

Bhuiyan, now living in Dix Hills, began selling cars 20 years ago following a career as a deli-grocer in Queens. After being held up at gunpoint one too many times, he sold his deli and looked for a new way to make a living.

Thumbing through the paper one day, he saw an ad for an auto-selling school.

He enrolled in the six-week course. After he completed his training, he worked for two months at Hempstead Honda before transferring to Huntington, where he’s been ever since.

Quickly, A.K. became a sales powerhouse. His bestsellers, Bhuiyan explained, are Honda’s mid-sized offerings like the CR-V crossover and the Accord, as well as the smaller Civic, the line that helped Honda break into the American car market in the 1970s.

Bhuiyan has been the official sales leader in Zone 5 for as long as anybody can remember. Brown added that while Honda doesn’t announce a national sales leader, he’s their national volume leader, too.

And it all comes down to one of the most traditional values of all.

“You must show respect. You must care for them,” Bhuiyan said of his clients.

“They really feel very comfortable.”

Neraki GreekMediterranean Grill

Oakwood Car Care Tire & Auto Repair Center

Eat like a Greek!

That’s not quite what the New England Journal of Medicine said when it recommended a diet of fresh fish, lean meat and plenty of vegetables as a healthy lifestyle to prevent heart disease and cancer, but it practically could be!

Neraki owner and executive chef Alex Moschos notes that the Mediterranean approach to diet touted by the prestigious medical journal is nothing new. “At Neraki, this way of preparing fresh fish produce and meats is our way of life,” he said.

Neraki recently celebrated its third anniversary year serving Huntington food lovers at 273 Main Street in Huntington village.

Neraki, which means “water” in Greek, is a fitting name for this restaurant, which highlights the Greek islands’ seafaring coastline and its abundance of fish.

Moschos visits the fish markets several times a week to hand pick fish from the freshest catches. Most are grilled whole and can be filleted tableside – just like in Greece!

For those whose taste buds don’t water for anything that comes from the sea, there are be plenty of meat and vegetable options, such as grilled lamb chops, steaks and chicken kabobs.

The restaurant is family friendly, which is appropriate since many of the dishes are old family recipes, including the must-have baklava - a sweet honey and nut dessert. Décor is inspired by the Grecian landscape. Blues and whites color the walls to bring out the beach environment while terracotta and gold touches accent the room.

Neraki is open six days, Tuesday through Sunday, for lunch and dinner.

Rockin Fish Rob Haddow, owner of East Northport’s Crossroads Café, opened his latest venture, a “burger, oyster and brew house,” in Northport Village, at 155 Main St., two years ago.

The space he created is warm and inviting, cozy and sophisticated thanks to rich oak and brick. Classic rock on the sound system adds to the laid-back atmosphere.

There are plenty of nautical accoutrements, from fishing reels on the wall and seafaring paintings.

On the brew front, it certainly promises to become a favorite for beer connoisseurs. In addition to the standard selection of bottled brews, Rockin Fish boasts an all-star lineup of microbrews and craft beers to meet any discerning palate.

Many of the craft beers hail from New York. Can’t make up your mind? Try a little of each – a flight of four 4-oz. beers goes for $9.

Haddow also dips into his collection of wines from Crossroads Café, bringing with him an impressive range of Napa Valley reds, some dating back 25 years and ranging from $70-$550 a bottle.

More current vintages in red and white are available by the glass or bottle, as well as a half-dozen varieties of Japanese sake.

Watermelon salad combines champagne-marinated red onions, Gorgonzola cheese and raspberry vinaigrette with the fresh summer staple. Check out the chilled seafood bar, which includes shrimp cocktail and a variety of raw oysters and clams on the half-shell. Keep an eye out also for the Ahi Tuna Nachos, with fresh fish and zesty accents served atop balanced wontons that are light, yet crunchy and firm.

Main courses are varied, bringing in plenty of seafood, steaks, lobster rolls, wraps and burgers. A staple is the crispy red snapper, golden-fried and served whole and topped with cold tomato salsa and drizzled with extra-virgin olive oil.

and Cantor Deborah Zeitlen, Temple Beth El is a house of worship, learning, and gathering in the Huntington area for 61 years. The congregation is diverse and includes members of the LGBT community and many interfaith families.

Friday night Shabbat services each month provide something for everyone, including Torah readings and discussions, family-friendly services with youth choir, and a music-filled Kabbalat Shabbat (Welcoming Shabbat), and on occasion, a special service called “Thank God It’s Shabbat” that really rocks!

Congregation members will volunteer in the summer to help lead services and conversations on various topics.

Pre-schoolers and young families enjoy a variety of programs, including “Shalom Friends” – a place for parents and their little ones to play and learn about Jewish holidays and values. Learning goes beyond religious school, with weekly Bible study with Rabbi Clopper, special programs like “Wisdom and Wine”, movie nights, and Artists and Scholars-in-Resident. Just this past year, the synagogue welcomed architect Stephen Schwartz. Mr. Schwartz had children and adults alike recreating the Warsaw Ghetto and the old city of Jerusalem out of LEGOS! The Sisterhood, Brotherhood and Chai Club – active groups found at the synagogue – provide social and educational opportunities. They support many temple activities, community building and fundraising, and give very generously to the whole community. For the younger set, Youth Group begins in fourth grade, with Jewish-based, interactive, community-oriented programs, and continues into high school with teen-run group, B.E.A.S.T.Y. Beyond being a house of worship, learning and gathering, the synagogue’s commitment to Tikkun Olam(Repairing the World) is second to none! Led by its Social Action Committee, the Temple Beth El community supports local food pantries, participates in Project H.O.P.E. (Helping Other People Eat) and in the Huntington Interfaith Homeless Initiative, serves a community-wide Thanksgiving dinner complete with entertainment and a boutique for shopping. For a third summer, Temple Beth El is working with LICAN (Long Island Community Agriculture Network) to grow vegetables so local food pantries will have fresh vegetables to give to families in need.

Located at 660 Park Ave. in Huntington, Temple Beth El is an inclusive community. This summer, Temple Beth El welcomes a new director of ritual music, Cantor Alison Lopatin, and B’nai Mitzvah Trainer, Lenny Thaw. Join them at one of their informal summer Shabbat services at 7 p.m. on Friday nights and find out what the buzz is about!
