Would he have gone to Louie's in Port Washington??
They have changed hands, but maybe it would make him feel nostalgic for seafood from home.

Sapori d'ischia in LIC.

Try the spicy seafood pancake, and the bbq squid. YUM.

Just so you all know, they told us last weekend that crawfish are coming in 2 weeks!
We have now been there 5 times since they reopened... can't get enough.

What a treat to return to Cooking with Jazz!!! The place was filled with loyal clients from years past. The warm Jalapeno Bread, and Corn Muffins were just as delicious as we remembered. We savored some Seafood Gumbo & Fried Oysters to start. Then I had the Seafood Big Mamou, with huge chunks of salmon, scallops, oysters & jumbo shrimp. The Hubby had the Coho Salmon, stuffed with perfectly caramelized onions, veggies & other yummy goodness. We finished it off with a slice of pecan pie. Steve came out of the kitchen in his big red chef's hat to shake some hands & wave hello. We can't wait to go back. No need to BYOB, the hurricanes were flowing!!

I second Salvatore's Coal Oven Pizza in Port Washington!

As delicious as Woodside, without the train ride.
We ordered the papaya salad, pad thai, softshell crab with green curry pumpkin sauce, and whole snapper with lemongrass. It started to get crowded at 6:20, which is early for a saturday night, so go early!

Would like to add "Kung Fu Panda" to the list, because it makes me crave dumplings EVERY time I see it.

Someone please tell me it's still opening??!!

They are gone. I will miss the seafood pancake, spicy kimchee, veggie tofu harmony, broiled eel, etc.
Sadness.
Also: Prime View is completely gone, and it looks like they are restoring the old Diwan back in it's place.

For Italian, try Piccolo Liguria on Shore Rd. It's the best italian I've had on L.I. Japanese: Kotobuki in Roslyn. Korean: Mama's... on Main St. in PW. I think most of the mexican here is meh. I do love the take-out at Green Cactus in Roslyn. Chinese: Shanghai Pavilion. Brick Oven Pizza: Salvatores.

First, I'd like to give a moment of silence for Sea Cliff Sushi, since I didn't realize it was closed, & I loved it SO much. I considered it the best on L.I. Second, it's ironic that There does happen to be one more Kotobuki, and it just happens to be exactly where Maguro used to be... in that strip mall right off 25A, in Roslyn. Kotobuki is right up there in the very good to excellent category as well.

I'm a huge fan of Mama's on Main Street in Port Washington. Here's my original post about it, on this board:

Port Washington is only 15 min from GC.

Sea Cliff Coffee & Sushi Co. has chefs from Nobu, but it's been around a few years.
You would have better luck posting on the Tri-state board.

i love blackened catfish with conch fritters. YUM.

or, you could also ask for your rolls to be wrapped in cucumber, which is a delicious option.

I agree with Rick, Yamaguchi is kinda dingy, but it's one of those places that if you have an "in" with Mrs. Yamaguchi, you can probably get the best fish around.
For me, the best sushi on the island is a tie between Kotobuki & the Sea Cliff Coffee & Sushi Company. Kotobuki has more bang for the buck, yet it's still creative. Try the sushi for 2. Sea Cliff Sushi is much more like Nobu, (the sushi chefs are from there) but the ambiance is very "Grateful Dead". I love them both.

Pineapple Chicken
Pillsbury Crescent Rolls baked with american cheese rolled inside
Lipton onion soup burgers

Frozen Sara Lee marble cake
Spagettio's
Chef-Boy-Ardee (ew!)

Try St. Lukes Church, on Hudson street, in the west village. It has a peaceful yard in the back, with a lovely lawn & garden. The picnic food choices are infinite, with Hudson St. being one of the best foodie streets in the city.

Is this place where the old Weeping Beech used to be? (near the Douglaston Train Station)

i lick peanut butter off a butter knife, standing at the kitchen counter. I try not to let the kids catch me ;-)

Bad Bob's is in Manorhaven, but they are also opening on Main Street. The Manorhaven location is right on the dock at the Capri Marina, and it's a great place to go in the summer. You'll feel like you're on vacation! I can't speak for the meat, but the fired clams are plump & juicy, and the sweet potatoe fries are delicious.

I second Storks! Love that cinnamon jelly donut, & their assorted cookies.

Here's my 2 cents worth:
Port Washington:
Italian: La Piccola Liguria (excellent!)
Pizza: Salvatore's Coal Oven Pizza
Korean/Vietnamese: Mama's Delight
Japanese: Yamaguchi or Rock N' Saki
Japanese (Manhasset) Kotobuki
Japanese (Sea Cliff): Sea Cliff Coffee & Sushi Co.
Mexican (Manahasset): Besito
Mexican Take-out (Roslyn): Green Cactus (best fish taco!!!)
Chinese: Shanghai Pavillion
Diner: Seven Seas (i totally agree with Lloyd on that one overall, though i do like the spannakopita at the Port Washington Diner on Main St.)
Weather Permitting: Bad Bob's BBQ (pretty good fried clams!)
Bakery: Diane's in Roslyn, or Baked to Perfection in PW
Ice Cream: Emack & Bolio's in Manhasset

If i think of more, i'll add it later.

Look into Louie's, in Port Washington. The food has been amazing lately! It's right on the harbor, where you can stroll to your heart's content, after the meal.

they've also been spotted in Fairway on Long Island! Maybe it's a mass-media hoax, to stimulate Tam Tam sales!!??!!

my children will be horrified.

When I lived in the W.Village, I went to Lanciani almost everyday. It was on w. 4th near Perry St. They had the best croissants.

Do you mean prepared at a restaurant? Or from a fish monger?
Most japanese restaurants have them on the appetizer menu. Yellowtail collar is called 'Hamachi Kama." It usually comes with a spicy dippy sauce, & it's SO DAMN YUMMY.
