Things To Do
Toast & Co.
BREAKFAST: Casual sit-down, New York diner style brunch and lunch spot ~3 minutes walk from the Hampton Inn. Midwesterners looking for a skillet will find them here!

BREAKFAST: Casual sit down brunch and lunch (and dinner too!) spot. Two locations - this one is less than 10 minutes walking from the Hampton Inn
The Shed Restaurant- Plainview
BREAKFAST: Casual sit down brunch and lunch (and dinner too!) spot. Two locations - this one is a 10 minute walk or 3 minute drive from the Four Points by Sheraton
Stella Blue Bistro
BREAKFAST / COFFEE: Very casual counter service breakfast great for coffee or egg sandwiches at the edge of Huntington Village. Grateful Dead influenced if you couldn't tell by the photo!
Copenhagen Bakery
BREAKFAST / COFFEE: Favorite bakery, coffee, and breakfast stop by the water in quaint Northport Village
Six Harbors Brewing Company
DRINKS: Brewery in Huntington with tented outdoor seating. Generally there are food trucks and lots of dogs on premises! Good choice to help pass the gap between the ceremony and reception. Fun fact - this is where Luke asked Joe and Marianne (Amanda's parents) for permission to propose!
Bar Petite
DRINKS: Casual and intimate (as you might guess from the name) bar close to the Hampton Inn with craft cocktails, small plates, and a good happy hour
Meehan's of Huntington
DRINKS / FOOD: Upscale Irish pub with great atmosphere, food, and drinks. Lovely patio if the weather is nice! This would be a great place to grab a drink before the reception as there will be a 1.5 hour break
Sand City Brewing Co
DRINKS: Great cozy brewery in Northport Village with many fun craft beers and beer flights. Dog friendly and always crowded!
Sapsuckers
DRINKS / FOOD: Casual but upscale pub - great for lunch, good beer and drink selections
Joanina
DINNER: More upscale but not fancy dinner option with amazing Italian food (pastas, wood fired pizzas, etc.). If you go, you must try the Chicken Valdostano!
Edoardo's Trattoria
DINNER: New more casual Italian cozy restaurant - BYOB!
Mission Taco
DINNER: Fun Mexican restaurant good for margaritas, guacamole, and tacos
Besito Mexican Restaurant - Huntington NY
DINNER: Upscale Mexican restaurant in heart of Huntington Village
Cold Spring Harbor State Park
Trail walk / light hike less than 10 minutes from both hotels. We love to do this walk and then continue into Cold Spring Harbor Village for a coffee at Sweetie Pie's on Main Street.
Caumsett State Historic Park Preserve
THINGS TO DO: Amanda's favorite place to go for a walk or run. There are plenty of trails as well as a three mile paved running and biking loop.
Northport Village Shopping & Restaurants
THINGS TO DO: Northport is a historic waterfront / maritime town 10 minutes east of Huntington Village. This is Amanda and Luke's favorite spot and where they did their engagement photos! In Northport, our favorite places are Copenhagen Bakery for breakfast and coffee, Sand City Brewery for dog-friendly beers, and The Wine Cellar on Main for drinks, food, and live music. While Northport is a drive we'd highly recommend for those with cars or who are willing to uber!
Northport Dock
THINGS TO DO: This is where we took our engagement photos! Great for sunset or grab a coffee in town (we recommend Copenhagen Bakery) and sit by the water.
Bethpage Black Course
THINGS TO DO: Bethpage State Park is a short drive from the Four Points by Sheraton in Melville and has many golf courses as well as running, walking, and bike trails. The most famous course is the Bethpage Black (though it can be difficult to get a tee time; other courses are easier!) Other local public courses can be found at Crab Meadow and Sunken Meadow State Park both on the Long Island Sound.
