2. A newly opened restaurant in Smithtown has impressed customers with its flavor combos! When the Chikn-Fixn first came to the neighborhood, opinions were divided due to the unique ingredients used to bread the chicken, which goes from the traditional breadcrumbs to Doritos and Captain Crunch! However, according to online reviews, the eatery has been collecting a large amount of 'thumbs up!' from the ones who tried. The place is at 60 Terry Road in Smithtown if some of you want to check it out. (Daily Voice)
3. Reboli Center introduced its Meet April Artisan Of The Month, a Commack Potter! The Smithtown Patch congratulates local artist, Kathy Larocca for being elected to highlight her work. I would like to share a link with those who want to appreciate some of Kathy's ceramic pieces. (Smithtown Matters)
