PRESS BUZZ: MAIN DISH
NEW RESTAURANTS:
BREAKFAST, BURGERS & INDULGENCE
HATCH
Get to this cozy brunch spot bright
and early to enjoy fun takes on diner
staples. Downtown Huntington’s
newest breakfast joint serves the
most important meal of the day all
day, along with lattes, cold brew coffee,
and “communal” mimosa service
for groups.
The inside is cute and cheery,
accented with tons of yellow decor
and fresh flowers. Its bright design
with cozy booth seating makes it
perfect for starting the day or a lazy
afternoon.
Diners recommend the loaded
breakfast burrito ($13.50), which
stuffs their signature scrambled
eggs, bacon, and hash browns into
a tortilla topped with homemade
pico de gallo and salsa verde. For
the sweet tooth, the cinnamon roll
pancakes ($8.75) are fluffy cinnamon
swirl flapjacks with a butter
pecan filling topped with toasted
pecans. First come, first hatch, so
arrive before the 11 a.m. brunch
rush.

BABYLON BURGER BAR
This not-so-ordinary burger place,
located in the heart of downtown
Babylon, has rightfully attracted
a fast following for its unique and
limitless burger creations. Call ahead
for reservations as this place can get
pretty packed on weekends.
The BBB menu may seem overwhelming
with nearly 30 different
cheeses, sauces, and patty varieties,
but servers are happy to help newbies
navigate. Most diners choose
to build their own sandwich with
toppings like onion straws, bacon
jam, or whipped goat cheese. If DIY
is not your thing, opt for the BBB mac
& cheese ($16.95), which loads bacon
and warm cheesy goodness on your
patty of the Fire Island ($15.95), which
adds a kick with pepperr Jack, fresh
jalapeno, and chipotle aioli. Top it off
with a super-duper milkshake ($15).
