Always fresh and delicious! (across from CVS in West Sayville, next to the bread store)

Wow! Stopped in for a truly uplifting lunch today, without even realizing it! A charcuterie box, for $20 was lunch! Meat, 2 cheeses 🧀, nuts 🌰, fig jam, fig, grape 🍇, olives 🫒, and crackers … and then a Ferrero Rocher chocolate! 🍫… the icing on the cake was a window seat to enjoy it all.(or take it home to your cozy TV)

In this months article in the Happenings, I took a moment to express gratitude to local restaurants, and explain how my food project started. There never seems to be enough gratefulness expressed to these restaurant owners. Please as you read this article take note of these restaurants; please support them when you’re looking go out for a meal or a drink.
