Our town’s dining scene just keeps getting better — and if you haven’t checked out the newest arrivals, you’re in for a treat. From modern Mexican flavors in a restored historic bank to cozy small-plate dining with a craft cocktail twist, these new spots are already buzzing with energy and rave reviews.

We rounded up 4 New & Noteworthy Restaurants in the Town of Babylon — each with its own unique vibe, menu highlights, and story. This is your chance to be among the first to explore what everyone will be talking about at the next backyard barbecue or office lunch break.

🐾Pet of the Week

This week we’re shining a spotlight on Angie, a graceful young cat who has stolen the hearts of the staff and volunteers at the Babylon Animal Shelter. With her soft, silvery-grey coat and striking green eyes, Angie has an elegance about her that’s matched only by her sweet personality.

If you’ve been considering adding a new member to your family, Angie could be the one. She’s the kind of cat who will curl up beside you on the couch, greet you at the door after a long day, and quietly fill your home with companionship.

Come meet Angie and the other adoptable pets waiting at the Babylon Animal Shelter. Who knows — your next best friend might be waiting just behind those doors.
