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…

Monday, May 16, 2011
The month of May brings many things: warmer weather, longer daylight hours, and bouts of spring fever. In school district terms however, it means the many months of discussing and planning the school budget have come to an end and it’s time for the community to unite and vote. Each year as your parent leaders at Weber, we make a plea for you to support the budget. This year will be no different. We have attended the numerous Board of Education meetings and have heard the many reports of state aid decreasing, the unfunded state mandates, and the increase in costs. We have heard countless members of the community voice their opinions as to what should and should not be included in this year’s budget. We have voiced our opinions during …

The Mediterranean brasserie and burger bistro serves up curb appeal.
Diners in search of burgers or baba ganoush would do well to stroll through the welcoming doors of restaurant Tava, which serves up both Mediterranean cuisine and American diner fare with style and panache. Recently named "Best Turkish" restaurant by Long Island Pulse magazine, Tava's crisp red, black and gold façade has also garnered the merchant another prize: the latest Golden Storefront Award, bestowed by community groups Residents for a More Beautiful Port Washington and the Greater Port Washington Business Improvement District. "Tava's elegant exterior has brightened up this stretch of middle Main Street for the past three years," said Mindy Germain, executive director of RFMBPW. "Tava helped anchor this area as a new 'restaurant …

Capital One Bank Wins Latest Golden Storefront Award
Banks are generally judged on rates, not good looks. Yet the attractive façade and well-groomed grounds of Port Washington's Capital One Bank has won the branch both starring roles in the bank's well-known "What's in Your Wallet" ad campaign and now a Golden Storefront Award. In the bank's ubiquitous ads, the branch at the corner of Port Washington Boulevard and Main Street is marked with a giant red push pin. Now the bank is distinguished by another marker: the latest Golden Storefront Award, bestowed by community groups Residents for a More Beautiful Port Washington and the Greater Port Washington Business Improvement District. "This is actually the second beautification award we've given the bank," said Residents executive director …

Ayhan’s Mediterranean Marketplace wins August Golden Storefront Award.
Perched at the intersection of Main Street and Shore Road, Ayhan's Mediterranean Marketplace is a cornerstone of the Lower Main Street historic district. The distinctive white stucco and glass building, with its cobalt blue patio umbrellas and plantation shutters, conjures up a stateside slice of the Greek islands. The market anchors a triumvirate of Ayhan restaurants and acts as a gateway to Port Washington's Lower Main Street harbor area. It's a fitting locale for owner Ayhan Hassan, a native of Cyprus, the Mediterranean island at the crossroads of three continents. "We are the most visible corner in town," Hassan observed . "Lower Main Street is rejuvenating. We are becoming a Mecca for weekenders." Hassan's postcard-worthy views and …

Town Clerk Leslie Gross honors James Dalimonte for animal charity initiative.
When James Dalimonte turned nine, he didn't ask for video games or sports equipment, or typical wish-list items young boys covet. Instead Dalimonte asked friends and family for food and toys for shelter animals in Port Washington. He said his life-long relationship with beloved golden retriever Nala inspired his birthday philanthropy. "I've loved dogs since I first saw Nala," Dalimonte said. "When I think of other animals that don't have a home like her, I feel sad." When Dalimonte decided to forgo birthday gifts in favor of donations for a cause close to his heart, he had no way of knowing he'd be given something most nine-year-olds could never dream of receiving: a Hometown Hero Commendation from the Town of North Hempstead. Fellow dog-…

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 …
