Billy Dean's Cabaret Application Rejected, Car Seat Safety Inspection

A weekly look-in at news in the Town of Hempstead.

Court Upholds Zoning Board's Denial of Billy Dean's Wantagh Cabaret Application The Supreme Court of the State of New York announced Monday that it has upheld the Town of Hempstead's decision to reject North Bellmore strip club owner Billy Dean's cabaret application for a proposed Wantagh nightclub/restaurant on Sunrise Highway. Dean's suit against the town argued that the Hempstead Board of Zoning Appeals should have never revoked its original June 2010 approval for cabaret usage on 3500 Sunrise Highway in Wantagh.

Business Q&A: The Pretty Suite

Gift shop on N. Village Avenue had a great opening year.

A dream has finally been realized for Anne Bailey and Melanie Eggers. After years of discussion, the two women opened The Pretty Suite on North Village Avenue last July. The gift shop, open six days a week, sells everything from jewelry to stationary. Instead of buying from one or two large suppliers, Bailey and Eggers like to buy from a large array of smaller vendors, improving the variety of the products they sell.

Readers’ Choice: Best Catered Food in RVC

Memorial Day weekend is about tangy backyard barbecue and sweet cole slaw. But what if you can’t make it all? We want your pick for catered food joint.

Sides of mac and cheese, potato salad and cole slaw go great with any family get together. So do trays of penne alongside sausage and peppers. That’s a Long Island feast done Italian-style. Whatever your preference, Memorial Day weekend is all about backyard gatherings of friends and family. But whether you fire up the Weber grill or channel your inner Martha Stewart, preparing the entire banquet may be too much to handle. You’re in luck.
