For over 20 years, Wheatley Hills Discount Wine & Spirits has been a presence on Post Avenue in the heart of Westbury Village. Taking the word discount very seriously, Roseann Kalb, owner of this large, well-stocked and well-organized liquor store says her foremost goal is to keep her prices among the lowest on Long Island, while offering an extensive selection of wines and spirits from around the world. “When people actually take the time to shop and compare” she says “they find our everyday prices lower than or equal to most advertised sale prices at other stores.” Great prices are just one reason Wheatley Hills was voted “Best of Long Island 2015” by the community. Another reason is service. The management staff at Wheatley is very knowledgeable and helpful, assisting even the most discerning consumer in choosing the perfect wine to accompany the perfect meal, or the perfect gift for a special someone. If you still can’t find what you’re looking for in their vast inventory, they will gladly special order any item. Customers can also browse the store and read the staff’s “tasting notes” on many of their featured wines. According to the Calendar on their website @ www.wheatleywineandspirits.com, Wheatley offers tastings of a varied selection of wines and spirits every weekend. Stop by the store any Friday or Saturday between 4 & 7 pm for a free sampling. Roseann and her staff create lovely gift baskets in a variety of sizes and price ranges. A longtime member of the BID and Westbury/Carle Place Chamber of Commerce, Wheatley Hills has also been a longtime supporter of local fire departments, churches, synagogues, schools and other organizations, generously donating their beautiful baskets as fund-raising raffle items.

From Humble Beginnings Dominick was tutored by his father, Sime a master chef whose career blossomed on luxury cruise liners and in exclusive private clubs. His father served as a chief chef of the renowned Century Club where he remained for many years. Dominick began working in the Century Club where he remained for five years, working as a waiter, head waiter, and assistant to the manager. His talents were thereafter nourished in various restaurants as a waiter and maitre d’ until 1981 when he opened the first Galleria Restaurant in Westbury. It was immediately embraced by sophisticated diners who remained as loyal patrons until a fire destroyed the restaurant in 1984. Dominick’s lifetime dream came into being at 238 Post Avenue in Westbury. From the first shovel in the ground and its opening of its doors to the public, Dominick designed, created and assembled the all new Galleria. He reached out to waiters, captains and other personnel that he knew for years, modeling into an exciting, caring team. It served its first diners in November 1984 and the response was immediate. The clientele of the first Galleria and the surrounding community adopted the new restaurant. The word spread and appreciative diners came from afar to savor the gracious service and fine cuisine. A vestibule of stars greets patrons as they enter the Galleria with pictures of famous movie and theatre celebrities that were the recipients of Dominick’s special attention. Renowned names in government, the law and theatre often grace the Galleria’s tables. Dominick’s Credo: A fine restaurant is made up of many things; ambiance, selective foods, tender preparation, gracious service, all within a framework of leisure and care. To insure this, Dominick personally selects all of the ingredients and supervises the kitchen, assuring that nothing leaves without his personal approval. Visit them at 238 Post Ave. Hours: Mon. thru Thurs. 11:30 am to 10:00 pm, Fri. 11:30 am to 11:00 pm, Sat. 5:00 pm to 11:00 pm and Sun. 2:00 pm to 9:00 pm.
