From a Greek Legacy to a Fresh Start, Sunnyside Diner Brings Comfort Food and Bright Vibes to Town

There’s a new spot to start your day—or satisfy your cravings any time—right in the heart of Huntington Village. Sunnyside Diner officially opened its doors in April at 340 New York Avenue, taking over the beloved space that was home to Skorpios, a cherished Greek eatery that served the community for over 45 years.

While Sunnyside Diner marks a new beginning, it honors the tradition of hearty, homemade meals with a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

What to Expect at Sunnyside Diner

Sunnyside Diner is already earning buzz for its feel-good menu of timeless diner favorites. From golden Belgian waffles topped with fresh fruit to their popular Farmer’s Breakfast—two eggs, bacon or sausage, home fries, and two pancakes—it’s the kind of place that makes breakfast feel like the best meal of the day, no matter the hour.

And for those still craving a taste of the past, Sunnyside Diner offers a nod to its Greek predecessor with savory lamb gyros that blend seamlessly into the lineup of comfort food classics.

Located just steps from Main Street, Sunnyside Diner is perfectly positioned for locals, commuters, and visitors alike.

A Community Favorite in the Making

Though Sunnyside Diner is still new on the scene, its friendly service, generous portions, and approachable menu are already making it feel like a longtime neighborhood staple. With its combination of familiarity and freshness, it’s clear this spot is ready to write the next chapter at 340 New York Avenue.

Stop In and Start Your Day on the Sunnyside

Whether you’re reminiscing about meals at Skorpios or discovering this location for the first time, Sunnyside Diner invites you to pull up a chair, enjoy a hot plate of something delicious, and become part of their new story. Bright, casual, and full of flavor—this is a local gem you won’t want to miss.

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 Long Island 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!
