Focus On: The Great Neck Dining Scene
Great Neck is filled with culinary delights for every budget. While it may be an expensive town to live and play in, it doesn’t always have to be so expensive to eat (although it can be that, too). We’ve compiled a few restaurants that we’ve spoken about on FiOS1 Long Island’s Restaurant Hunter for our readers to check out and enjoy.
In Photos: Kashi Japanese in Rockville Centre
Among the many restaurants that are in Rockville Centre sits its newest shining star, Kashi Japanese. A sister-restaurant to their other busy location on the north shore’s equivalent to Rockville Centre, Huntington Village (both with busy village atmospheres), Kashi will make you feel blue, but not in the way that you might be thinking.
Food News: Ginza Opens In Massapequa
5,400 square feet of Asian cuisine await at Ginza, one of the newest hot spots to open up on the south shore this year. The redesigned space, formerly a Sizzler Steakhouse in Massapequa, is a trendy haven for sushi lovers and interior design lovers alike.
Behind The Scenes: Inatome in Valley Stream Reopening
When Inatome suffered a fire on October 31, 2010, the entire structure was affected and we weren’t quite sure if they would open their doors again to the general public. That answer came to us a few days ago when we learned that after an exhaustive 15 months of construction and upgrades, Inatome is back, and better than ever.
Sushi Palace in Great Neck
While most buffets will have you and everyone else circling around a large presentation table loaded with food (and who knows what germs), Sushi Palace is more refined in nature. All you can eat sushi comes from the sushi chefs behind the sushi bar while you request your next rolls with the waitstaff, made to order.
Shiro of Japan in Carle Place
Of all the restaurants on Long Island, Shiro of Japan may be the one that we visit the most. Located in the ground floor of the office building that East of NYC is based out of, we’re visiting them on an average of once per week for lunch and we sometimes stop in for dinner, as well.
Food News: 1/2 Price Sushi at Masago in Oceanside
As a way to entice sushi lovers to come in and try out the new space, Massago in Oceanside is offering 1/2 price sushi as a celebration of their grand opening. They’ve replaced La Szechuan’s chinese restaurant with a beautifully decorated sushi spot.
Nisen in Woodbury
Like its sibling restaurant in Commack, Nisen Woodbury is raising the level of expectation for competing restaurants on the high-end scene of Long Island. The focus is a little less about the sushi and more about the entrees at this location, but they both have one thing in common; excellent cuisine with a trendy atmosphere.
Aji 53 in Bay Shore
When I came to Aji 53, I didn’t arrive with the intent to review the restaurant; I was actually walking into a blind date. I was pleasantly surprised by Aji 53 as I hadn’t done more to scope out the restaurant other than a quick glance at the website to find the address.
