Noah’s Every Monday Night at Corey Creek Starting May 26 and a New Wine Bar
Throughout the summer, Corey Creek hosts live music and food every Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday nights from 5 to 9 p.m. Noah’s will be the featured restaurant on Mondays serving: seasonal local vegetable arancini (crispy risotto balls) with pesto aioli; 4 oz. crab cake with celery apple rémoulade; Noah’s lobster roll with NoFo potato chips and homemade pickles; Crescent Farms duck barbecue with smoked cheddar polenta; pomegranate glazed baby back ribs with curried three cabbage slaw. Wine Bar The restaurant has added a wine bar at their Greenport location, which will feature one red and one white flight; each will include a three-ounce pour of three different wines. Sunita Schwartz says, “The Wine Bar at Noah’s was established not only as a way for visitors to sample the local wines, but also as a place to learn more about the wines of the region.” She chose Peconic Bay reds because the winery closed last year, and she wanted to celebrate their unique flavor and pay homage to them.
