Three Trendy Tasty Restaurants - One Town

Huntington Village has some great bars and restaurants tailored to everyone’s scene. They offer Southwestern/Mexican, Italian and Modern American Cuisine. I would also like to mention all three have outstanding featured cocktails.

Besito - Southwestern/Mexican - New York Avenue, Huntington

This awarded restaurant “Best of Long Island," New York Times Rated “Excellent” and “Best Margaritas” is a hot spot for international spices and accompanied food. I have been to this restaurant a countless amount of times and they have always exceeded my expectations. The service is friendly and knowledgeable and the food is prepared with all fresh ingredients and cooked to perfection. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming and the cocktails will definitely leave you with a buzz. When you are walked to your table, you are immediately given fresh, warm tortilla chips and homemade salsa. They also offer fresh table side guacamole and their signature “Besito Patron” Margarita. Any entrée you choose will amaze your palate with an exciting experience. Besito will give your taste buds an international journey your mouth will never forget.

Porto Vivo – Italian – Gerard Street, Huntington

Impeccable service, authentic Italian cuisine and a modern atmosphere. Staff of Porto Vivo have tailored to famous faces like Iron Chef Todd English and rock star Billy Joel. An extensive wine list and a menu that offers something for everyone.  They also have a bar/lounge area which becomes full throughout the night which features a bar menu and a variety of cocktails to choose from. Most importantly, and I am telling you this in advance because you need to save room for dessert, is their Chocolate Souffle. Make sure you order this decadent, rich treat in the beginning of your meal because it does take 20 minutes to make and it will be brought out to you right away in the end. It’s a restaurant where I actually look forward to the end and enjoy every bite of my culinary journey.

Honu Kitchen & Cocktails – Modern American – New York Avenue, Huntington

Honu is a social gathering restaurant for after work  drinks, dinner and nightlife offered on particular days. If you want to impress someone, this is a great spot to wine and dine. Make sure to reserve a seat by their fireplace for the ultimate romantic evening. They offer a signature cocktail which changes each season, and a happy hour with hors d’oeuvre and $5 drinks. Their menu offers seasoned appetizers, steaks, a variety of entrée both seafood and game, gourmet burgers and salads. During the weekdays, they offer special promotions such as Surf and Turf Tuesdays, Half Price Bottle Wines on Wednesday and Ladies Night Thursdays. They also offer a price fixe dinner menu offered Sunday-Thursday, and before 6:30pm Friday and Saturday. It’s a fun restaurant any day of the week and you can expect the consistency in great food and cocktails.
