NEW VEDOR INCOMING?: The Huntington Town Board has added a new food vendor to its Crab Meadow Golf Course. Huntington-based Gelucci Brand LLC, which is operated by Mac’s Steakhouse owner Mark Gelish, was approved to lease and operate the restaurant and snack bar at the course, which is located at 220 Waterside Road in Northport. Gelish is a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America, he has more than 40 years of experience in the restaurant business. The town recently parted ways with the previous vendor at the course, Integrity Golf, and began its search for a new vendor late last year. A public hearing on the proposal to bring Gelucci Brand LLC on board was held at the Tuesday's town board meeting. The board then approved the resolution and now Gelucci Brand LLC is expected to ink a five-year contract that extends through Dec. 31, 2021. It will pay the town $220,000 to lease and operate the restaurant and snack bar. There’s also an option for the town board to renew the contact down the road.

NEW RESTAURANT PLANNED: The former site of Capitol Health in Huntington village may soon be turned into a 94-seat restaurant and bar with a stage intended for smaller shows, like a small jazz band. A proposal to convert the first floor of the 357 New York Ave. building into a 3,390-square-foot restaurant and bar has been filed with the Town of Huntington. The space, which also has office and storage space on the its second floor, is directly adjacent to Honu and a few storefronts north, and on the opposite side of the street, of The Paramount theater. There is no dedicated parking lot for the building. The applicant, Bellmore-based 355 High Life LLC, is seeking parking relief from the Town of Huntington Zoning Board of Appeals, and went before the board Thursday night. High Life LLC seeks a special use permit and parking variance to utilize the New and/or Green streets lots in the village. The zoning board tabled the proposal Tuesday night.
