East Norwich, NY is a small charming town on the way to Oyster Bay, NY. East Norwich, NY should not be confused with Norwich, Connecticut. There is also an East Norwich in England. Years ago, delegates from East Norwich in England came over here to visit and residents of East Norwich, NY planted daffodils along Route 106 to celebrate spring at that time. There is a beautification committee that takes care of the little garden where the welcome sign is at the northeast corner of Route 106 and Route 25A and also the entrance to Norwich Green and Radcliff Drive.
East Norwich, NY is home to the famous landmark, Rothman's Restaurant located at the corner of Route 106 and Route 25A at the northwest corner. Rothman's Restaurant has been there long before I moved to the area in 1971. Rothman's Restaurant has undergone several ownerships over the years. It was owned and started several years ago by the Rothman family of Oyster Bay. The late Gloria O'rourke, one of the Rothman's children was a past editor of the Oyster Bay Guardian, our local newspaper, and she had fond memories of the Rothman's Restaurant. At some point, Burt Bacharach, the singer, owned the Restaurant and also the East Norwich Inn, the only hotel in town which sits behind Rothman's. Now there are plans to open a high end shopping center behind Rothman's restaurant and close the East Norwich Inn. Luckily because of the economic downturn, that plan is now on hold.
Several small restaurants came into being few years later in East Norwich. For such a small town, there are so many good restaurants in East Norwich, NY. Besides Rothman's, we have Angelina Restaurant, Luce, (the old Girasole), Saggio, La Pizzeta, Mezina's Market, a Chinese take out and Pancake House. There is also a Bagel Boss in town. There is a very good bakery on Route 25A called Boulangieri. A gourmet grocery store called Christina Epicure on Route 106 has a fantastic selection of gourmet food. There are also clothing shops in town. The southeast corner of Route 106 & Route 25A where the old Texaco gas station and later Patio.com garden furniture store was is now a vacant lot. Another gas station, Exxon is next to Pancake House on Route 25A. East Norwich has its own post office and its own fire department.
East Norwich, NY has three shopping areas, two on Route 106 and one on Route 25A. Our office, Laffey Fine Homes is prominently located at the southwest corner of Route 106 and Route 25A where the old Meyerdiecks Meat Store used to be opposite the Rothman's Restaurant.
If you like gardening, Martin Viette Nursery has an excellent selection of plants and garden accessories and Christmas decorations in all price ranges. In the fall, there is an Apple Festival and Hay Ride at Martin Viette Nursery. Years ago, there was a lilac farm in East Norwich, located on Remsens Lane. East Norwich used to have the famous huge Black Walnut tree located near the corner of Route 106 and Route 25A. There is a plaque now where once the Black Walnut Tree stood. It was the oldest Black Walnut Tree on Long Island and for no apparent reason the town decided to cut it down. It was after that and with the residents' outcry, the town realized they made a mistake but it was too late. They planted a seedling which they purported to be an offspring of the mighty old Black Walnut tree at the southeast corner of Route 106 and Route 25A but it will take years to attain the stature of the original tree.
Muttontown Preserve is located just south of East Norwich. Nassau Hall and Chelsea, county owned properties are nearby. There is an Equestrian Center next to Muttontown Preserve for those who love horseback riding. There are two golf courses in town - Pine Hollow Country Club, and Muttontown Golf and Country Club, both on Route 25A.
