HUNTINGTON STATION, N.Y., July 29, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Fogo de Chão, the internationally-renowned steakhouse from Brazil, announced today its plan to open a new location in Huntington Station, New York. Located at the Walt Whitman Shops®, a Simon property and premier shopping and dining destination, the newest Fogo restaurant will mark the fourth New York metro location and second on Long Island, following Carle Place, White Plains and Manhattan.
“Fogo offers a unique dining experience that goes beyond a traditional restaurant setting,” said Barry McGowan, Chief Executive Officer of Fogo de Chão. “We’ve been fortunate to be able to bring our experience to New Yorkers for nearly 10 years, and we look forward to soon serving our trademark Brazilian hospitality to guests in Huntington Station, as well.”
Fogo’s Huntington Station restaurant, designed in partnership with GH+A Design Studios, will feature a bar, lounge and an authentic Churrasco Grill in the heart of the restaurant’s dining space where guests will be able to watch Fogo’s gaucho chefs butcher, prepare and grill different cuts of meat over an open flame. The restaurant will have over 300 seats, as well as an open-air outdoor patio.
The new location will feature unique design aesthetics including a stylish marble exterior, soaring windows, modern chandeliers, natural wood paneling and rich furnishing colors that pay homage to the brand’s Brazilian heritage. Additional highlights to enhance the guest experience include a glass-encased wine room displaying many of South America’s finest varietals, and a dry-aged meat cabinet for in-house aging.
Fogo’s menu consists of a variety of hand-carved, fire-roasted meats – including premium, dry-aged cuts and Wagyu steaks – as well as seafood options, seasonal dishes, and fresh fruits and vegetables on the Market Table. A Weekday Lunch option starting at $15 will also be offered in Huntington Station, along with specialty Brazilian-inspired cocktails, award-winning South American wines, premium whiskey and bourbon, and All-Day Happy Hour in both the bar and dining room. The Huntington Station location will also offer Fogo To-Go and Offsite Catering so guests can enjoy Fogo in any space.
