The shop wins the latest Golden Storefront Award.
Just two months after opening its doors on Lower Main Street, selling trendy looks at recession-friendly prices, fashion emporium Suite 275 is sporting an accessory money can’t buy: a Golden Storefront Award. The beautification award, a joint effort of civic groups Residents for a More Beautiful Washington and the Greater Port Washington Business Improvement District, is given each month to a local business or entity selected by the voting public. Suite 275 may be new on the Port Washington retail scene, but it offers something decidedly old-fashioned: price tags in the double-digits, with virtually every item in the expansive shop retailing for under $100. “It fits a niche that had disappeared in the last 20 years,” said Roy Smitheimer, …

Alper’s True Value Hardware Wins Beautification Award during its Centennial Year
Longevity and looks: Alper’s True Value Hardware has dual reasons to celebrate this May. The hardware store, a Port Washington mainstay since 1911, is the most recent recipient of the Golden Storefront Award, a joint beautification award by Residents for a More Beautiful Port Washington and the B.I.D. This just days before an official street designation by the Town of North Hempstead on Saturday May 14, as the corner of Irma Avenue and Main Street, where the store is located, becomes “Alper’s Corner” to mark its centennial anniversary. “It feels great,” said Doris Novick of the attention the store is garnering. Novick and her sister Sheryl Cohen own and operate Alper’s along with husbands Mark Novick and Lew Cohen. The store was opened by…

Florist S.F. Falconer wins July Golden Storefront Award.
Cascading flower baskets and blooming planters festoon the sidewalk in front of florist S.F. Falconer, transforming part of South Maryland Avenue into a blossom-filled stretch. Look closely: the flowers are red, white and blue, the planters punctuated with American flags. "It's Americana," said Fred Falconer, the shop's owner and an interior plantscape designer, who changes the outdoor themes seasonally. The patriotic plantings echo the shop window's décor, featuring bunting and paper lanterns bedecked with stars and stripes. Flowers from Falconer have adorned Port Washington porches and vases for 86 years. Now the shop boasts its own new decoration: the gilt-framed Golden Storefront Award, awarded monthly by community groups Residents …

The Sweet Comfort Bakery & Café offers an inviting patio along with tarts and scones.
Luscious tarts, cupcakes and mouthwatering baked goods aren't the only eye-candy at the Sweet Comfort Bakery & Café in Port Washington. The shady, attractive sidewalk patio is as welcoming on a hot day as the icy lemonade for sale. Settle in at one of the elegant wrought-iron bistro sets under a capacious market umbrella. It feels as inviting as it looks. While the good eats keep the outdoor tables filled, it's the good looks that won the café the June Golden Storefront Award, a joint effort of community groups Residents for a More Beautiful Washington (RFMBPW) and the Greater Port Washington Business Improvement District (BID). "We hope that Sweet Comfort Bakery & Café will keep up the excellent work, and that the bestowal of this award …
