The Real Estate Section of the NYTimes (Sunday 7/20/08) includes a nice write-up on the Village of Amityville: Nothing Cookie-Cutter About It.Unlike many South Shore communities, Amityville is free of a cookie-cutter quality. As part of the town of Babylon, between the Nassau County border and the [Hamlet] of Copiague, it is a potpourri of Victorians, colonials, Capes, cedar-sided contemporaries and small ranch homes built over generations.PHOTO: The Amityville Beach Complex on the Southern end of Bayview Avenue on the Great South Bay is free and open to residents only.

“It wasn’t like a Levittown where you had a development,” Mr. [Mayor Peter] Imbert said. Lots vary in size but are ample, many 100-by-100 feet or more, with large setbacks and a thick canopy of trees.
“The dish I’d go back for is the chicken scarpariello served on the bone, paired with chunks of homemade sausage and a white wine sauce loaded with sliced garlic. At meal’s end, a plate of crisply fried strips of pastry sprinkled with powdered sugar was presented- a farewell that left diners smiling.” ~Joanne Starkey, NY TimesBellissimo Ristorante Italiano
The Amityville Artists Circle (AAC) is sponsoring a poetry contest open to poets 18 and older. Proceeds benefit the Shirley Ilsley Malone Incentive Award of the AAC which is given each year to an Amityville High School graduating senior based on artistic talent.
