Starting today (November 10) and continuing to November 17, the Village of Great Neck Plaza Improvement District is holding another Restaurant Week. Here are the participating restaurants, as well as links to ShopGreatNeck.com on their Restaurant Week offerings. Bareburger Brasserie Americana Colbeh Daruma Elaines ERA Ethos La Gioconda La Rotonda Laverne Leah’s LOLA Mykonos Om Bistro Sake 68 Sip City Basically, most restaurants are offering a Prix Fixe dinner for $25.95 that includes an appetizer, an entree, and a dessert. While it’s nice to see Great Neck doing this again, I have to admit I’m not so thrilled at the price point. Yes, if there were Manhattan it’d be incredible. But in Great Neck, it’s about the standard price you’d pay anyway for an appetizer, entree, and dessert. I did the math on a couple menus and in most cases $25.95 is just about at or just a tiny bit below what you’d normally pay. And in some cases, it’s actually more! So I’d suggest you go out and enjoy these restaurants in Great Neck, especially new ones on the list like Om Bistro, Leah’s, Brasserie Americana (which took over the Giraffe at the Great Neck Inn), and Bareburger–but do…

It’s Time for Great Neck Restaurant Week 2013
Review of Ayhan’s Shish-Kebab (132 Middle Neck Road)
Ayhan’s Shish Kebab Great service, great food, and great location. Hopefully Ayhan’s will remain at its popular location of 132 Middle Neck Road for a very long time. Rating by steve: 4 1/2 stars of 5 I’ve been so busy there’s a backlog of reviews I have to write. I visited Ayhan’s Shish-Kebab twice over the summer. Here were my impressions. 132 Middle Neck Road has been the location of many restaurants over the years. The earliest references I can find are pictures from a postcard from what I’m guessing were the 1950s or 1960s when the restaurant was a…
The Five Continents (Great Neck Gourmet) Is Closing :(
In another sad closing for Great Neck, The Five Continents at 62 Middle Neck Road is closing their doors. The had just recently changed their name to “Great Neck Gourmet”, but that doesn’t seem to have been enough to keep them afloat. This was one of those “old fashioned” stores where you could buy grains, nuts, cheese, coffee, and other goods. It’s truly sad to see them go, but I guess it’s sorts of a sign of the times as small businesses continually get squeezed by big box retailers and online shopping. Although with so many storefronts on Middle Neck…
Review of Sake 68 (68 Middle Neck Road)
Sake 68 is a new “Japanese fusion” restaurant in Great Neck. It takes a bit of chutzpah to start up another Japanese restaurant in a town full of them, from Matsuya to Masago to Daruma to Sushi Palace to New Era to Naru Sushi to the excellent Chez Kama right across the street. And as we’ve seen with the recently departed Miraku, it takes a lot to make it in this town. Walking into the restaurant, it was pretty simple in terms of its decor. The walls and floors were white, the restaurant was fairly narrow but enough to hold…
Groupons for Laverne and La Bottega Mangia Bene
Looks like we got a Great Neck Groupon Two-Fer going on right now. There are two Groupons for purchase at two pretty good Great Neck eateries: Laverne has a deal where you can pay $15 for a $30 dinner for two, or $30 for a $60 dinner for four. La Bottega Mangia Bene has a deal where you can pay $40 for an $80 dinner. Good opportunity to get a good meal at half price. But hurry–these usually don’t last too long!
