Time for Brunch

by Leave a Comment

Brunch has become more popular in recent years and has evolved into a true social event. In the Greater Patchogue area, restaurants noticed the trend and answered, some louder than others. So, we have brunch, but what kind of brunch do you want? That’s the real question.

We have the nice, quiet brunch that is perfect for enjoying a meal with your niece or grandma. This kind of brunch comes with stacks of pancakes with sugary additions like cinnamon apples or fresh berries, and hot egg skillets that include bacon, eggs and sausage. After all, it is still morning when brunch is served, so why not enjoy it peacefully?

There is also the brunch that is artsy, fun and open-minded, which your friends would really appreciate. These menus include sweet items, savory selections and maybe even something spicy. For instance, BrickHouse Brewery offers Banana Walnut French Toast and a Beer-Battered BLT with Avocado, and Arooga’s imaginative brunch menu includes Snickers Pancakes and a Bacon Belgian Waffle, meaning that there is bacon actually in the waffle and not on the side. At these and other locations, you can savor the food and the conversation.

And, then there is the brunch allows you to keep the party going from the night before. If that’s what you crave, the “Before 4” brunch at Flight should be your first stop after you peel yourself out of bed. They host a “Vegas-style” brunch that includes a DJ and delicious food, like the Fireball French Toast that is made with Fireball Cinnamon Whisky and the DBLT, which is a BLT with duck. At these and several other restaurants, the inventive food and the upbeat atmosphere will certainly get your blood pumping for the day ahead.
Besides the restaurants mentioned, brunch menus are popping up all over and the dishes range from comfortable to crazy, but no matter the meal, they are all sure to be delicious.

2017- A Year to Remember

The Greater Patchogue Chamber of Commerce is celebrating its 93rd year in 2017. Within those 93 years, many businesses have been on Main Street, moved, burned down or unfortunately, closed. However, there are still many that are fortunate enough to be in business significantly longer than the average small business.

Even older than the Chamber, Brown’s Automotive Group is a long-time, family-owned and -operated Chamber member celebrating 100 years in business this year. Brown’s is located at 438 Route 112, Patchogue.

Within the Village, many businesses are celebrating some notable accomplishments in business this year. Blum’s, originally owned by Molly and Arthur Blum, opened in 1927; and this year, marks 90 years in business. For more than 90 years, Blum’s has specialized in swimwear and intimate apparel, and to date, are the largest Wacoal dealer in the country. The business has been passed through generations and still remains in the Siegel family. Also celebrating 90 years this year is Richard York Shoes. Richard York Shoes, also a family-run business, is now in its third generation.

A 70-year career in business is also a large claim to fame to a few Patchogue businesses this year. Celebrating 70 years, once called Weiner Shoes, David’s Shoe Emporium also has the same family running the business since its start in 1947. Also opening in 1947 was the Davis Park Ferry, Long Island’s finest way to get to Davis Park on Fire Island.

Throughout the past few years, business has been very difficult, in retail especially, but these businesses have thrived. Throughout the changes as Patchogue has evolved, it is appropriate to salute all retail and entertainment in Patchogue, but especially those who have truly stood the test of time.
