Lowe's to pay $35M for Huntington Townhouse

How sad. I had my Bar Mitzvah reception there in February 1965. It was my first grand entrance down a spiral staircase.

Isn't this news just the way of tradition in general being swallowed up by progress everywhere. Don't we have enough retail! It's just one of the reasons I left New York 22 years ago. Banks, gas stations and shopping plaza's at every turn. I'm proud to say I was married at the Huntington Townhouse in 1973. Over 200 guests and it was an elegant affair. I was still a young man and my teenage wife even younger, we had a ball. The carved ice statues and desserts were sublime. The champaign fountains were wonderful, everything was just right,a majestic evening for all. I can't understand how or why the quality of this once famous catering hall has fallen to it's present condition. Someone should have resurrected this institution and created a palace to be proud of and continue the tradition.So sad..

Whatever Lowe's was doing has stalled. The property is bring used for school buses.

The Towne House is screwing the people that already reserved for their affair. They should at least stop booking and close after the last affair is done. We need another Loews on Long Island like we need Cancer. From the sky , Long Islnand rooftops are Orange, Blue, orange , blue. what the heck man!?

This is also really bad news for the "Stretch Hummer Limo" business...
