The Wine Cellar on Main
The price is right and so is the mood
at this casual, lively village venue in
the heart of downtown Northport,
especially on weekends, when live
music fills the air. You don’t need to
be an oenophile to enjoy what the
sommelier has uncorked. You can
get a table, sit at the bar, or stand in
the back and chat with your friends.
On the menu are small, tapas-style
plates of tasty food, or you can order
an entree from a nearby restaurant
that delivers. We’ll drink to that! 70

annual pilgrimage to the Bethpage
