Robke's stays open
While most restaurants stayed closed on Monday, Robke’s of Northport opened at 11:30 a.m., as it has done for decades.
Robke’s prides itself on staying open 365 days a year and partner Louis Selvaggio Jr. said that the last time they failed to do so was about 10 years ago.
“I remember a bad power outage on a Sunday night before we had a generator. Next day, generator purchased.” By noon, the dining room was beginning to fill up.
