The iconic Long Island Restaurant on Atlantic Avenue is finally reopening this week, according to The Brooklyn Paper. The Cobble Hill joint recently got its neon sign restored and has a fully renovated interior that “looks good as new,” said Brooklyn Paper. Vanishing New York spotted Craigslist ads seeking a general manager and head chef back in April, and rumor has it that Toby Cecchini, former Odeon bartender and supposed inventor of the cosmopolitan cocktail, is involved. The restaurant, which has an Art Deco-style bar, closed its doors in 2007, after 56 years in business.

New York Magazine has a big story with pretty pictures of the interior, restored to its Art Deco heyday. Cecchini is a partner. Seems they won’t be serving food, at least not yet; it’s basically a cocktail bar.
