1. American Brass
The waterfront eatery, which features Michelin-star chef Kevin McGinley as the head chef, can serve up to 140 guests on-site and 100 outdoors. It overlooks Manhattan and Gantry State Park.
Try their sourdough focaccia with whipped ricotta and rosemary salt, as it is non-negotiable. That is enough to include the place on the things to do on the Long Island list.
