Happy Wednesday, people of Huntington! Here's everything you need to know about what's happening today.

First, today's weather:

Snow and rain, 1-2 inches; colder. High: 38 low: 30.

Here are the top 3 stories today in Huntington:

  1. Réserve restaurant serving 'Haute American' cuisine in Huntington. Have you tried the new restaurant Réserve at 326 W. Jericho Turnpike? The restaurant opened in February, with the building formerly being Pomodorino. Réserve is open for lunch and dinner, and you can head with friends on Sunday for brunch with a live DJ. Entrees include gnocchi with lobster, steaks, Long Island duck, "molasses salmon," and a "steaked toast" with chocolate-rubbed steak. Owner Karen Morel and her husband rose to Long Island fame with their online business "My Cookie Dealer." (Huntington Patch)

  2. In positive news, the St. Patrick's Day parade returns to Huntington on Sunday. The historic parade is the largest and longest on Long Island. Last year's parade was canceled due to COVID-19. “The way we look at it, the world literally shut down after the parade in 2020,” president of Ancient Order of Hibernians Division IV. Broderick said. “Come this Sunday, we’re going to reopen the world with our parade. We are very excited to get out there and celebrate.” The parade kicks off at 2 p.m. from the LIRR parking lot near Church Street. (Huntington Now)

  3. The Easter Bunny will be back at Walt Whitman Mall. After COVID-19 disrupted the annual Easter Bunny pictures at the mall, things are finally back to normal. You can make a reservation for pictures with the Easter Bunny, as the rabbit will be in the mall from March 16 to April 18. The Bunny Photo Experience hours are Monday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. and noon to 6 p.m. on Sunday. On Saturday, April 16, the hours are 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. (Huntington Patch)
