The Plattduetsche Park Restaurant & Caterers can trace its beginning to the year 1883, when the Plattduetsche Volksfest Vereen of Brooklyn and vicinity was formed. This society of immigrants from the flatlands of northern Germany (which is the meaning of plattduetsche) was created out of necessity for the welfare and support of its members. In those days, if you were injured or sick and couldn't work, then you were not able to feed or take care of your family. By belonging to a society such as this one, you would receive a daily stipend in case of hardship. Membership in the society also provided a place to gather with other people from northern Germany to talk and preserve heritage and traditions handed down from older generations. The society adopted as its motto "Eendracht makt Macht" or "In Unity is Strength" and the symbol of the beehive - although each individual bee is small, together they can accomplish amazing things.To finance the organization, yearly beer festivals were held at various restaurants and beer gardens with raffles and shooting contests. In fact, the Plattduetsche Volksfest Vereen raised enough money to finance the purchase of land to build a hospital. The German Hospital Corporation was spun off independently once it was built and still stands today as Wyckoff Heights Medical Center. Members of the society could receive free healthcare at the clinic as well as any necessary hospitalization or surgery.In the early 1900s, the real estate boom in Brooklyn wiped out many of the restaurants that had large beer gardens and open outdoor areas. This made holding the yearly fund-raising festivals difficult, so members of the Plattduetsche Volksfest Vereen began to look east for property to buy. A German farmer in Franklin Square sold them his land, which they divided into two parcels.

The owner created a restaurant with an atmosphere that's warm, welcoming, casual and lively. Decorated with white subway tiles, red and white checkered tablecloths and a room that simulates an outdoor courtyard on a fisherman's wharf, Uncle Bacala's has lots of charm. Off to one side is a long granite bar, in the back is an open kitchen with a brick oven and there's a spacious party room. French doors open up to the street on balmy days.The menu is extensive but we ordered from the list of specials. Tuscan Onion Soup was rich and savory with a crisp pastry top; Crab Cake was all crabmeat and all flavor. The wine choices are global with many available by the glass. For dessert we delighted in every luscious bite of waffles with roasted bananas and vanilla ice cream. The accommodating host goes the extra mile to take care of his customers. At the end of the meal, after coffee and dessert, you get pink cotton candy. That puts a smile on everyone's face. Bring the family and enjoy familiar Italian favorites or have a romantic dinner. Uncle Bacala's is an upbeat restaurant - it's a feel good place.

The heart and soul of pastaVino was given to us by the many immigrants who brought their culture to America from Italy. In the early nineteen hundreds, families who had settled in the five boroughs of New York City and elsewhere, created a new experience... the Italian-American experience. Early Sunday dinners gave birth to a slightly modified cuisine, shaped by necessity, availability and a hectic lifestyle. This new cuisine, Italian-American cuisine, though not exactly the same as in Italy; was, and is, equally rich in taste and heritage. We'd like to share our experience with families from all over the world. At the same time we'd like to revisit memories close to the heart. At pastaVino, you can enjoy the lasagna your grandmother used to make, or the struffoli your neighbor used to bring to your house. Whatever your memories are, we have the food and wine to go with them.Taste the good life ... at pastaVino Italian Bistro

Once upon a time in place far, far away, a very special duck was born! This was not your average duck. Besides looking very different than all the other ducks, he had a very unique quality about him. This was definitely a lucky duck.Every game he played, he always won. Everywhere he went, wonderful things would happen to him. In short, he was so lucky that everyone started calling him "The Lucky Duck".When "Lucky Duck" was old enough to venture out on his own, he traveled to Italy where he learned the fine art of gourmet cooking. His reputation as a great chef spread quickly throughout all of Europe. And, as luck would have it, he eventually was cooking for families of nobility, and at time even Kings and Queens. As a great chef, there was no one better. But "Lucky Duck" felt there was something missing. Great food was simply not enough, dining; he felt should be a compete social experience that includes fun and fellowship. So, in quest of these missing ingredients, "Lucky Duck" set out for Ireland, where the people and pubs are famous for their friendliness and informality. Well again, as luck would have it, "Lucky Duck" found exactly the ingredients he was looking for. This type of fun and friendliness combined with great Italian cooking was, in his opinion, exactly what the world needed. So "Lucky Duck" took all of his cooking skills, and new found Irish friendliness and brought them to New York.Here in Garden City he decided to open his first restaurant. To all present and future patrons of "The Lucky Duck Restaurant", "Lucky Duck" wishes you...Bon Appetit!...L'Chaim!...Slainte!...Buono Appetito!...
