News for Foodies: 04.12.18

For months, boarded-up windows have prevented passers-by in pizza withdrawal from taking a peek at the emerging restaurant that will replace the beloved Conca D’Oro in Sag Harbor. Michael Cinque and his business partner, Laurent Tourondel, who own LT Burger, purchased the restaurant last July and have been in construction mode for most of this year. When asked about a grand opening date for the space, Mr. Cinque would only narrow things down to “when it’s done,” but promised, “it’s going to be amazing.”
