Last Saturday, the Mediterranean Snack Bar in Huntington closed its doors - for good. It had been an institution for 43 years and, I can safely say that Flo and I have been eating at “Mediterranean” for a majority of those years. It was a safe place, good food, always welcoming and comforting. It’s the end of an era. I think back on other “institutions” that have come and gone. Some replaced, others always missed. A fitting reflection as we approach the end of the year. There have been many changes this past year, many endings, some will be missed, many beginnings, some welcome. I think back to other times when I wondered whether things would ever be the “same”. I wonder where the next “Mediterranean” will be.
