GRAND OPENING: A new active lifestyle restaurant was set to open today in nearby Farmingdale. CoreLife Eatery (207 Airport Plaza, Farmingdale) offers up a variety of greens, grains and broth-based dishes, bringing together scratch cooking with flavorful source ingredients. “There’s a widespread belief that healthy food can’t possibly taste good. We’re debunking that myth,” said Todd Mansfield, partner and wellness champion for Corelife Eatery, which was founded in upstate Syracuse and has since opened locations across eight states. Today’s grand opening in Farmingdale was set for 11 a.m. The new eatery, the chain’s first on Long Island, will offer both take-out and dine-in services, with online and mobile app ordering; free Wi-Fi; and an outdoor patio seating area. “We can’t wait for the community in Farmingdale to experience CoreLife Eatery for the first time,” Mansfield added.
