Downtown Farmingdale Open for Business

Lights back on; merchants say come on over and have a hot meal.

Downtown Farmingdale is back in business Thursday.

Power was restored to most of the downtown area on Wednesday and local merchants are back up and running.

"We have power and are open for business," said Krista Guterman, the owner of Wings over Farmingdale. "We are so grateful that we got our power back yesterday and are able to serve people."

Guterman reported that most of Main Street is up and running and wanted to pass the word that local families without power can get hot food and supplies downtown.

Other signs of recovery are everywhere. Farmingdale appears to have been spared the full wrath of Hurricane Sandy. Power is coming back all over the community and limited Long Island Rail Road Service resumes today.

Farmingdale schools are closed Thursday and Friday.

All main roads are passable. LIPA crews are continuing to repair outages.

Hate to sound like an old woman, but when it was Von Leeson's it was always a joy to be there. AllRead More the staff had been there for years and treated the customers like family. Food was consistently good and they never "ran out" of anything. This place shouldn't be open for business. The poor kid waiting on us last time had to come to me and tell me they had no dessert to have with coffee other than ice cream. We left him a nice tip and I told him to find a job somewhere else; he'd never make any money there. It's a great location. We just need some smart business people to run it!

The young man server was doing his best, but still eggs, potatoes, and hash, no potatoes come, begged for coffee refills, ketchup was the very bottom of a heinz bottle. The excuse was sorry we have a new cook,..something tells me that aint the only problem, how does one screw up breakfast. Sorry wont be going back any time soon, unless I see a new mngment or new owner sign.

. This place is just not good. There is nothing appealing about poor service and absolutely horribleRead More food. It should have stayed closed when it went out of business not long ago. I hope the employees can find another means .
