If you love Love Lane Kitchen in Mattituck, you’ll be glad to know that a few months ago, in 2011, the owners set up shop just next door with their organic and local-centric market, Love Lane Market.

Construction Watch: The Gallery at Westbury Plaza in Carle Place
When the old Avis building sat in decay for years at its location at 900 Old Country Rd. in Carle Place, it was always rumored to be in development or to be under a phase of realignment. Much has happened since Equity One scooped up the property from SIMON; and what has been sitting idle for the past few years has been on a quick pace in the last few weeks.

Vino 100 in Oceanside
With time to kill while driving around on the South Shore, I came upon Vino 100 (flickr set here), a cute little wine store located just a few stores down from the italian restaurant, Pizzaiola. Billing itself as offering up 100 wines for $25 and under, the shelves are artfully stocked with a great variety of reasonably priced wines from which you can choose.
Hanging out in the store is the owner, Susan, offering advice on the favorite wines of the week and giving advice based on your tastes. If you’re in the need for a new variety of wine or just a helpful hand in choosing something that’s right for you, go on and check it out for yourself. 516-825-VINO
