A Little Help From My Friends

We cancelled our planned trip to New York today due to the fact that during our stay, we would have had one nice day weather-wise.

But well before the storm, I'd made a list of restaurants I wanted to try and dishes that sounded good.  Since I can't go (yet) if you live in the area, stop in and give me a report afterwards!

Red, 417 New York Avenue, Huntington, NY  631-673-0304  Shrimp curry $28 or a "Crab Napoleon" appetizer -- flaky pastry, dense with crab, sauce -- like the dessert.

F. H. Riley's, 400 New York Avenue, Huntington  631-271-7600  Grilled shrimp and lobster BLT - lunch $15

Sweet Mama's,  9 Alsace Lane, Northport, NY  631-261-6262  Breakfast till 4 p.m. -- CB Benny - corned beef, poached eggs Hollandaise sauce - $12

Fado, 10 New Street (Main Street) Huntington Village  631-351-1010  Said to do paella.  Richie loved it in France so this one's for him.

Bistro Cassis - an old favorite - 55B Wall Street  631-421-4122  Quiche Lorraine or a lobster club sandwich.

Prime, 117 New York Avenue, Huntington  631-385-1515  This place is right on the water and very expensive so I want to just come in for a late afternoon-ish drink on the deck (before it gets too cold.)  The drink that interests me?  "A Bloody Hell" composed of chipotle vodka, tomato juice, horseradish sauce and Tabasco.  That ought to warm ya in the winter and then some!
