Neighborhood Crawl: Emmons Avenue in Sheepshead Bay
Appetizers at Randazzo’s: Essentially around since before 1964 (operating first as a fishmonger, than as a pub, then a six-item clam bar, then a restaurant, then closed and reopened a couple more times, including once after Hurricane Sandy), Randazzo’s owes much of its longevity to the strength of its legendary red sauce. Since you still have a full evening of eating in front of you, order it ladled over a crispy platter of fried calamari (to share), along with a paper plate of freshly shucked cherrystones, or a buttery boat of sandy steamers, in season.
