Pub Grub

We haven't forgotten about you. We were just waiting until we found something that deserved mention. For those of you who like pub grub, we think you'll find this post worth the wait.

The Brass Rail, not to be confused with strip clubs of the same name, is located in Locust Valley, Long Island. This hip little Gastro Pub sports a cool and casual atmosphere with good food, good drinks and an attentive wait staff. We've gone back several times, and we always seem to find something else we like.

Some of our favorite dishes include the Oxtail Sloppy Joe, Cajun Seared Shrimp, Stuffed Artichoke, The Gardener, Grilled Bronzino and the Grilled Scottish Salmon.

The nice thing about the food at The Brass Rail is that there is something for everyone, in every size. You can select a small plate, an entree or a side - yay for the Gastro Pub!

So, if you're in Locust Valley and you're looking for some pub grub, The Brass Rail is the place for you.

Prime Time

If you like water views, sunsets and summer breezes with your cocktails, head to Prime Restaurant in Huntington. Scoring big points for ambiance, this is the perfect place to stop in the evening for a drink on the patio, at the bar or in the lodge. To top off your cocktail hour, order the chocolate beignets. If they're not on the menu when you're there, ask for them.

Serving brunch on Sundays and lunch and dinner from Tuesday through Sunday, Prime has several menus. If you're going to eat here, we recommend the Sunday brunch. The eggs are light and fluffy, the french toast is tasty and the seared tuna over soba noodles is a good choice for lunch.

If you're taking your boat to Prime, you're in luck. Starting Memorial Day Weekend, you can moor your boat at Prime's 300-foot dock on the harbor. For those of you coming by car, valet parking is available, but you can also park in the public parking lot next door.
