Established in 1993, RS Jones Restaurant
(originally Rattlesnake Jones) was part of owners
Margaret & Carole’s dream was to build a unique
space where people could come and find comfort
in the food & atmosphere The love of country
music inspired the cowboy theme. Margaret
excels in the “front of the house”, making people
feel welcomed and special, “as if you were visiting
her home”. She was raised in Merrick and is
the Immediate Past President of the Merrick
Chamber of Commerce. Carole was brought up
in Huntington where her first “real job” included
several different positions in a local restaurant.
She is a self-taught chef. Carole loves to create
new dishes and plans the daily “specials” to be
varied enough so everyone can find something
that they’ll enjoy. RS Jones is blessed and proud
to have a terrific staff, many of whom have been
with them since they opened.

Having a spectacular vista to accompany a great
meal is a wonderful combination that is served
routinely at Prime. From the outside, the place
resembles a boathouse, fitting, since it overlooks
Huntington Harbor, but inside is where the
romance begins, in a stunning dining room that
has a ceiling made from weathered barn siding
and a wall of handmade glass blocks. With
5,000 bottles of wine lined up, the dimly lighted
Wine Room is the special spot where love glows
and high-quality cuisine beckons!

It’s an irresistible truth that food and romance
are inextricably linked in an intimate setting.
As that discriminating taste-setter Virginia
Woolf once put it: “One cannot think well,
love well, and sleep well, if one has not dined
well.” A romantic evening fills the senses when
you celebrate it with someone special as you
savor a lovely meal together. And where else
should a couple contemplate their precious
moments as a twosome than at Sufiya’s Grill in
East Meadow, which has been voted as serving

PETER LUGER
255 Northern Blvd., Great Neck

www.peterluger.com
We’re talking serious red meat for carnivorous
connoisseurs. They expect nothing less than
USDA Prime, and they get what they deserve
at Peter Luger, voted once again The Best
steakhouse on Long Island! They sink their teeth
into Luger’s famous dry-aged premium short
loins, carefully cared for under pristine conditions
of temperature, humidity and air. Once these cuts
are judged ready, they’re broiled to perfection and
served with a great order of sides. People driving
over the Williamsburg Bridge can see the original
Brooklyn location where Peter Luger opened his
restaurant in 1887. The Forman family bought
the place in 1950, mastering the Porterhouse and
so much more (Did anyone say “burgers”!?), and
expanding the enterprise to Great Neck, where it
beckons us today.
