The spending plan allocates $2.9 million to the city’s golf course which officials say needs upgrades to its sprinkler system The Glen Cove City Council has passed a $6.9 million capital spending plan part of an effort to address the city’s crumbling infrastructure including $2.6 million to acquire and install a new golf course irrigation system $500,000 for stormwater infrastructure improvements $368,000 to purchase emergency medical service equipment and $221,000 to restore a city-owned parking garage Officials said county and state grants will reimburse the city for $617,000 of the capital costs Mayor Pamela Panzenbeck said at the City Council meeting last Tuesday that the road map sets a multiyear plan to “repair improve and invest in the city's deteriorated infrastructure which has been problematic for so many years.” $2.4 million to the city’s Department of Public Works $1.4 million to emergency services and $240,000 to other city services Democratic Councilwoman Danielle Fugazy-Scagliola said at the meeting she was “glad that we’re taking care of some things that are in desperate need of fixing,” including the golf course and drainage near Woolsey Avenue founded in 1972 and located on Lattingtown Road there’s no way any of this can wait,” Panzenbeck said the city’s director of Youth Services and Recreation said the golf course’s current sprinkler system is about a half-century old and is riddled with issues The city can’t turn on specific zones and has to empty the entire system to fix a single sprinkler head “It’s a headache,” Tsirkas said in a phone interview Temporary repairs were made to the course for the summer golf season, with funding allocated from the city’s 2025 operating budget The new irrigation system is expected to be installed beginning in the fall which would allow the course to reopen next year Last October, Glen Cove was removed from the state comptroller’s financial “stress” list for the first time since 2017, Newsday reported The change in designation was due to the three consecutive years of a surplus in the city’s operating budget, officials said at the time.

was reborn as dining destination on Long Island Momos tomato-based broth at While in Kathmandu in Glen Cove Patrick Hannett was born in Glen Cove and returned to the area about three years ago enjoying charcuterie with grilled sourdough and a small plate of chef Ian Bock’s slow-roasted carrots with ricotta hazelnuts and honey butter sparked with Calabrian chili It was his third time at the restaurant, a vaulted, wood-paneled 200-year-old space updated with modern light fixtures and a sleek bar and tables And just as Southdown upgraded Glen Cove’s coffee scene Otherside is introducing the community to small-production natural wines from all over the world—plus a few bottles from the Roslyn-based winery and cidery The charcuterie and cheese plate at Otherside Wine Bar in Glen Cove ‘Maybe it won’t be so bad,’ ” admitted Hannett who was drinking an NV14 Cain Cuvée from Napa Valley ‘Why didn’t I do this sooner?’ ” He added that he’d been pleasantly surprised to find a clutch of establishments that are “casual but with an excellent vibe and excellent food.” Once a destination for Italian-accented Continental places such as Zanghi and La Pace punched well below its weight given its position amid such well-heeled burgs as Locust Valley it looks like the city (it and Long Beach are the only cities on Long Island) may follow Oyster Bay’s recent gustatory path from drab to fab Every thriving downtown has great restaurants and that means attracting renters and owners who prioritize dining the longtime city council member who took office in 2023 attributed the current boom to a business-friendly atmosphere aided by an active Chamber of Commerce and to the construction of two large housing developments that will comprise more than a thousand units: Village Square which rises and sprawls a mile west on what had been a moldering waterfront parcel “Our downtown needs revitalization,” she declared “Every thriving downtown has great restaurants and that means attracting renters and owners who prioritize dining.” By clicking Sign up, you agree to our privacy policy The mayor might have been talking about Jodie Sheinbaum Sheinbaum moved to Garvies Point from Roslyn in 2022 and while she’s a regular patron of the brewery next door to her building and the bagel shop across the street “the only place we knew in Glen Cove was La Ginestra [est Less than a half mile down the street at Plado customer John DeRosa said that when he first moved to Garvies Point three years ago most of his local dining dollars were spent at The Americana the spendy Manhasset shopping center that houses Cipollini and Toku “I’ve been going to Pio Pio since it opened,” he said Prawns with cannellini beans at Plado Tasting Bar in Glen Cove “Last Saturday night,” said chef-owner German Rizzo “the parking lot was full of Porsches and Jaguars.” He and his wife-partner with two bars—the one where DeRosa sat facing a wall of top-shelf spirits and a six-seater that looks into the open kitchen Rizzo’s global repertoire is reflected in the name of the venture: “Plado” means “plate” in Esperanto His menu offers a few big-ticket steaks and chops it is composed of small plates—prawns or duck confit but many of them highlight the vegetables at the heart of his artistry Cauliflower has been having a moment for the last decade deployed all too often by chefs trying to deflect accusations of meatism coaxing sweetness out of its charred florets while ensuring that the stems are meltingly tender pickled onions and tomatoes is almost—but not quite—too much Crispy baby artichokes at Plado in Glen Cove Plado is the rare example of a Long Island restaurant that uses fresh baby artichokes both raw (in a salad with avocado and stracciatella) and halved and fried (drizzled with smoked paprika aioli) He makes inventive gnocchi with taro root instead of potatoes though brought down to earth by oyster mushrooms truffle cream and the welcome crunch of toasted breadcrumbs Rizzo and O’Donnell operate an Italian restaurant in Upper Manhattan as well as a sister Plado (est The couple bought a house in Glen Cove three years ago and were determined to open a third spot on Long Island they considered an established dining hub such as Roslyn but when they learned that Riviera Grill on Cedar Swamp Road was closing Rizzo noted that rent was much lower in Glen Cove than in Roslyn and “the space you can get is so much bigger—in my basement here I have a commissary kitchen for all my restaurants my whole operation.” His faith was also bolstered by the presence of Pio Pio which opened less than a half mile south in June 2023 In truth, Augusto Yallico’s decision to choose Glen Cove for his ninth Pio Pio was not driven by market research The interior of Pio Pio in Glen Cove is bright and airy he figured that a sizable portion of the customers who patronize Pio Pios in Queens Manhattan and the Bronx would appreciate the shorter trip for ceviche Centered around a burnished whole chicken—which must be anointed with Pio Pio’s famous spicy green sauce—it also includes a platter of salchipapas (French fries topped with hot dog slices) tostones (fried and smashed green plantains) The Morales family from Dallas lunches at Pio Pio in Glen Cove The look of Pio Pio may be high-end tropical chic but the food has a distinct populist appeal: That Matador Combo is only $74 and the most common beverage is the sangria chardonnay and enough sugar to make you think the only varietal is Concord grape Plado and Pio Pio are situated a short drive south of the city’s walkable downtown, and the third member of this “south-of-town” triumvirate is Oak & Vine “That’s the beauty of our location,” he said “If you’re in Glen Cove and you want to go to Roslyn That’s why we put so much effort into the exterior of the building—striped umbrellas floral arrangements—it’s ‘curb appeal.’ ” Figaro believes that the dearth of destination restaurants in Glen Cove has not been the fault of the town but of operators who don’t think big enough “We’ve opened a place with a New York City vibe and aesthetic “You don’t have to travel too far up into Glen Cove to come here.” the Dream A Little Dream vodka cocktail and the grilled octopus brightened by preserved lemon butter; burrata and heirloom tomatoes with roasted pistachio and balsamic glaze at Oak and

gnocchi or any of the other four pasta dishes Plado, Pio Pio and Oak & Vine all occupy buildings that were once Italian restaurants—Plado in the old Riviera Grill, Pio Pio in La Pace and Oak & Vine in
