Newest, trendiest place to meet your friends—right in Roosevelt Field --is Seasons 52, a dining experience inspired by the colorful foods of the changing seasons. All menu selections are calorie controlled, made with market fresh ingredients and created to promote living well! An award winning wine list with at least 52 selections by the glass makes Seasons 52 the perfect stop for girls who shop! Go for their signature flatbreads, field green salads and organic cedar-planked salmon. There is no resisting the little desserts, called mini indulgences --delectable bites of cheesecake, rocky road chocolate or mini-key lime pie--served individually in shot-style glasses. An indulgence it is, but the calorie count is reasonable and you’ll be sharing for sure!
We all love pizza and at SKINNYPIZZA, 211 Mineola Avenue in Roslyn, girls get to enjoy a most favorite food without the guilt—of excess fat and calories. This real pizza is made real thin and you get to choose from classics like SKINNY MARGHERITA, SKINNY BUFFALO, SKINNY VEGGIE and so many more---all crusts made without additives or preservatives and are available whole wheat or gluten-free. It’s pizza perfected with crispy crust and great taste and nutritious toppings. Opening soon in Roosevelt Field, the restaurant offers pastas, salads, wraps and all natural drinks for the health conscious and environmentally conscious consumers like us!
Crave Sushi? Kashi in Huntington Village is the coolest post-modern Japanese restaurant on the island. Relax at the bar with a saketini martini and nibble on apps like blue crab fajitas or rock shrimp tempura. Signature sushi rolls are winners, especially the Out of Control roll, full-out fresh tuna, salmon and yellowtail with spicy miso sauce. Perfect light bites to share with girlfriends or guy-friends!
