Going to the Al Dimeola show in Patchogue on Sunday. Any suggestions for a quick bite before the show?

Plenty of good options there. I like Del fuego or ita kitchen (I haven’t been to this exact location of ita but I been to the others).

We will be going to a Saturday night show for the first time in Patchogue the week after.

Any suggestion for parking? Should we arrive extra early?

Wow. Out of my league dollar-wise.

FYI - Al cancelled at the last minute, food poisoning. How apropos.

We did go to Bobbique, which was quite good. Thanks for the suggestion.

17k to meet a musician is totally absurd. He is good if you like that style of music but let's be real your not meeting Elvis Presley.

he has reviews from so many people who have done it ..they loved it and found it worth every penny to play with him or get one of his famous guitars.

i don’t see doing it if you aren’t a musician unless you are a collector

[rainroosty]

Never heard of him, happy to say. Lol.
