Long Island restaurant closures

A sign posted on the glass door of the Jericho Turnpike eatery reads "Temporaily Closed! Sorry for the Inconvenience!"

A Mexican eatery is expected to succeed it this fall.

After a fast and furious rise, has barbecue plateaued on Long Island?

The 34-seater was the offspring of Bosphorus Cafe Grill in Port Washington.

The waterside spot was one of Long Island's oldest smokehouses.

The space will next be occupied by a location of Chopt, the national salad chain.

There are plans to reopen in a new location with "a little more contemporary" approach.

Both closings are a real loss for the City by the Sea's dining scene.

The shop was only open for four months.

The heart and soul of the place were the square Detroit-style slices and individual Naples-style brick-oven pies.
