In the quaint little village of Northport Long Island, there is a hidden gem for the taste buds. I would define myself as a "foodie" and can admit to trying nearly every great restaurant in New York City. However, when I really want to give myself a treat...I take the Long Island Rail Road to Maroni Cuisine.
Many of you have probably heard me rant and rave about how amazing the food is here. This surprising yet delectable tasting menu literally keeps me on the edge of my seat!
The warm staff and laid back atmosphere add to this already amazing experience. The background music is a pleasant mix of Pearl Jam and The Beatles. You will often hear the Owner and Chef Mike Maroni laughing with one of the tables ( yes, you feel right at home here)! The never ending glass of wine compliments the assortment of tantalizing flavors. Maroni's is 100% quality and does not compromise itself by saving a few pennies. The crab will make your mouth water and the dessert made me as happy as a 6 year old.
Don't believe me? Zagats rated Maroni's food a 28!!
Whenever I have the treat to visit my favorite dining spot, I always remember to bring home a pot of their famous meatballs! Famous? YUP! These meatballs beat BOBBY FLAY-

Tonight on "The City", Jay seems like he's not that into poor little Whitney. At least he kinda broke it to her at my fave place.....STANTON SOCIAL!!
Saturday night, before Stan left for China (don't ask)....we decided to head to Stanton Social for dinner and drinks. Reservations are close to impossible, and now I know why! The food and cocktails were AMAZING!! We went upstairs to the bar/lounge area. They had a beautiful tasting menu and we made ourselves cozy on the lush banquettes. I sipped on a "Stanton Tea" while people looked around for seating. 
For dessert, you must get the chocolate tasting. It had everything from a S'mores cake, to house made peppermint patties! 
My favorite appy was a twist on a childhood favorite. French Onion Soup Dumplings...delish!!
