American Standard Bids Farewell to Bay Shore

Share it :

A Bittersweet Goodbye

After about a year and a half of serving the Bay Shore community with exceptional food, drinks, and unforgettable experiences, American Standard will close its doors for the final time on New Year’s Eve 2024. The team at American Standard has announced their heartfelt decision with gratitude and optimism for the future.

“It is with much sadness that we announce that New Year’s Eve will be our last service at American Standard,” they shared. “We want to thank everyone for their ongoing support; most of all our devoted staff who have shown an incredible amount of loyalty and dedication to us and to their work.”

The ownership has expressed well-wishes for the new proprietors, who will soon bring their vision to downtown Bay Shore, continuing to enrich the vibrant local dining and nightlife scene.

Celebrate American Standards Last Hurrah

Before the final chapter concludes, patrons will have one last opportunity to celebrate the American Standard experience. The restaurant will maintain its normal business hours through the weekend, closing Monday before reopening on Tuesday at 3 PM for Happy Hour and dinner.

The farewell festivities will culminate with a special New Year’s Eve party starting at 9 PM. Guests can enjoy an all-you-can-drink open bar from 9 PM to midnight for $50 per person. The offering includes:

• All menu cocktails

• All beer and wine

• Ready-to-drink options like High Noons and Suncruisers

• All top-shelf mixed drinks

A High Noon toast will mark the stroke of midnight as attendees bid farewell to American Standard. (Shots are not included in the open bar package.)

Looking Ahead

Unused American Standard gift cards will not go to waste. Starting January 1, 2025, they will be redeemable at Coastal Kitchen & Daiquiri Bar, providing loyal patrons an opportunity to continue enjoying quality food and drinks from a trusted source. For additional questions, guests can reach out to [email protected].

Gratitude and New Beginnings

The closing of American Standard is undeniably bittersweet for the Bay Shore community. It marks the end of a beloved institution and serves as a reminder to all of us to support our local businesses.

The team at American Standard extends their deepest gratitude to their customers, staff, and supporters, encouraging all to join them for their final toast this New Year’s Eve.

Melissa Farrell

Melissa Farrell has a mission to support local business by "Going Local." As a local business owner herself, she understands the struggles entrepreneurs face when owning a business and is always trying to find ways to shine a spotlight onto them. Melissa started Going Local Tours & Experiences back in 2020 during the pandemic in hopes to bring people back into local restaurants and shops. She created food tours in Huntington, NY that would stop at 3-4 local businesses and gave the guests the chance to meet the owner and hear the story behind the business. She soon realized how powerful storytelling is when connecting people to local businesses and created options with local store owners as well to bring them onto the tour to share their story. Melissa wanted to expand out of Huntington to be able to support even more local businesses and started creating luxury picnics where she would bring local to you! She would find local businesses in the area of the picnic set up and deliver it to you offering ways to support over 3 local businesses at each picnic. This wasn't enough. She wanted to find a better way to help spread awareness of local businesses and share their stories. Enter Evangeline Knell...a woman with over 30 years of broadcasting experience who somehow convinced Melissa to host a 3 day live stream from the Huntington Fall Festival. She had never been on camera before, but working alongside Evie to create the 3 shows, gave Melissa the confidence to take on the challenge. The 3 shows produced focused on the local vendors, the food trucks and the events that occurred at the festival and had a much larger reach than Melissa could ever of done on her own. They soon realized a business partnership was needed and combined their two businesses, Identity Digital which is a production company and Going Local Tours and Experiences to form Going Local Media. Evie and Melissa even formed their own distribution outlet by creating Going Local TV, a streaming platform like Netflix or YouTube, that is all about local businesses, events and organizations on Long Island. There are over 200 videos including their podcast series "Let's Get Local" "Long Island Business Minds" and "Local Business Spotlight" that help spread awareness of our local businesses and Long Island Professionals. They are always thinking up new ways to support local, including this site, Going Local Today that is a directory of articles on how to Go Local on Long Island. We appreciate you taking the time to read this and for supporting local! Thank you!
