• Nor'easter shuts down Merrick burger restaurant less than 2 months after it opened (newsbreak.com) — Betty's Burgers and Ice Cream Bar on Bayberry Avenue in Merrick has temporarily closed after this weekend's nor'easter flooded the building and caused significant damage less than two months after opening. Owners say they're assessing next steps, thanked the Merrick community for its early support, and promised to return, but there's no timeline yet for reopening.
• LI restaurant flooded by nor'easter to reopen Wednesday following 3.5 feet of water damage (newsbreak.com) — Fabio's on the Water in Merrick is set to reopen Wednesday after taking on about 3½ feet of water during the weekend nor'easter, which damaged kitchen equipment, electrical systems and furnishings. Crews have been working overnight to dry out and repair the waterfront spot, and the owner is already preparing to host a 125-guest party once doors reopen.
• East Rockaway, Lynbrook rocked by nor'easter (liherald.com) — Weekend nor'easter flooding hit several South Shore communities, with officials flagging East Rockaway, Island Park, Massapequa, Merrick, Oceanside and Long Beach as ongoing trouble spots and warning of saturated ground and falling trees. Power crews, town workers and county leaders are still clearing debris, restoring electricity and monitoring high tides, while residents are urged to avoid flooded roads and stay cautious near the waterfront.
