She also teaches sculpture and installation at the School of Art at Carnegie Mellon University in that city and is co-director of programming at the Folly Tree Arboretum in Springs.
A three-course family-style meal will be served with one glass of wine or draft beer for $59, including gratuity. Reservations are required and can be made by calling the restaurant at 631-537-5665.
