Sweetgreen Salad Shop Opens In South Huntington

HUNTINGTON, NY — Sweetgreen, an eatery that sells salad bowls, opened in Huntington on Tuesday.

The business opened at 160 Walt Whitman Road, Space 1021C, in the Walt Whitman Shops. It marks the third Sweetgreen on Long Island, joining Woodbury and Garden City.

Sweetgreen offers "fresh, plant-forward, earth friendly" meals, including salad bowls, a hot honey chicken plate, and kids meals.

For every meal sold on opening day, Sweetgreen will donate a meal to Island Harvest to help Long Island families experiencing food insecurity. Island Harvest has been leading hunger relief on Long Island since 1992, distributing fresh produce and assisting thousands of Long Islanders every day.

The first 100 customers received Hu Chocolate as a gift with purchase. There will also be a bouquet bar by Hometown Flower Co., as well as seasonal cupcakes inspired by Sweetgreen’s menu from Shae La Vie Bakery, which is owned by local high school student Shae Curtin, both of which are while supplies last.

Sweetgreen also commissioned New York-based artist Nate Harris for a woodcut print on Okawara Japanese paper, allowing layers of color and texture to be revealed once you get a closer look.

The 2,807-square-foot location will accommodate 27 diners inside with banquette and bar counter seating and 14 diners outside on the patio.

Store hours are 10:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily.
