There's one less option...

...on the local "East Beat" as the Village of Westhampton Beach awakens to a new month.
Historic Mechanic's Hall is again available for occupancy as its most recent tenant, Westhampton Steakhouse, has quietly folded its tent and faded into the night.


The closure happened just three weeks after the "shot(s)-fired/multiple stabbings" event widely, and erroneously, reported in Newsday and on News12. (See OtBB and 27East.)
No one was available for comment, but it's likely that New Year's incident had a lot to do with Bill Schwegler's decision to pull the plug.
It's unfortunate... Jeanne and I never had anything but good dining experiences there over the past five years, and there just aren't that many places like that left in the Village.
In an irony that appeals to my mid-Winter sense of the absurd, at the time this was first posted, the Steakhouse's Website was still operational... and that of the listing real estate agent wasn't.
