Food Near The Hotel
Vincent's Clam Bar Literally, right down the road from the hotel on Old Country Road. Likely to be SUPER busy on a Friday night, but I think they take reservations. If you go, definitely order the FRESH FRIED MOZZARELLA (not the mozzarella sticks) - legit, you won't be sorry. It is super crowded and loud (like REALLY loud) in the restaurant, but they give monster-sized portions. Louie's Actually, kind of across the street from Vincent's. Decent pizza, and more low-key than Vincent's. Also, might be crowded but a much more chill vibe. **Also, in the same shopping center as Louie's, there's a Ben's Kosher Deli and a Red Robin. PIZZA If you're up for taking a drive, here's where to go for pizza (all these places are about 15 minutes from the hotel): Gino's: Best Sicilian Slice Frantoni's: Best Regular Slice, Best Penne Alla Vodka Slice, Kick Ass Garlic Knots Da Angelo's: Best Buffalo Chicken Slice Now, Long Island is famous for diners so literally, five minutes in almost any direction and you're bound to hit one. If you make a right out of the hotel, then another right at the intersection (Westbury Ave. & Glen Cove Road), and take it all the way down to the intersection of Glen Cove Road and Old Country Road and make a LEFT, you'll pass: The Roosevelt Field Mall (Second Floor Food Court is meh) - there's also a freestanding Grand Lux Cafe (don't skip on the potato spring rolls and definitely get the beignets for dessert). Further down on Old Country Road there's a Shake Shack, and even further down there's a Chick-Fil-A. On the same road you take to get to Chick-fil-A, there's also a bunch of chain restaurants (Applebee's, Chili's, and Joe's Crab Shack) right in a row.
