The Union

The Union, nestled on Park Boulevard in the heart of East Meadow, New York, invites diners to experience a celebration of American comfort food infused with global influences. The menu showcases a juicy, grass‑fed beef burger topped with caramelized onions, sharp cheddar and a house‑made aioli, alongside a wood‑fire Margherita pizza that boasts a blistered crust and fresh basil from local farms. For those craving something different, the chef’s sushi roll combines crisp cucumber, avocado, and seared tuna, finished with a drizzle of citrus‑soy glaze. Seasonal brunch options include fluffy lemon‑ricotta pancakes, smoked salmon eggs Benedict, and a hearty avocado toast on sourdough, all served on a sun‑lit patio that overlooks the verdant lawns of Eisenhower Park. Inside, the dining room features reclaimed wood tables, soft amber lighting, and a curated art wall that reflects the neighborhood’s creative spirit. The Union also offers private dining rooms with floor‑to‑ceiling windows, perfect for weddings, corporate gatherings, or birthday celebrations, and a spacious outdoor terrace for al fresco cocktails. Service runs Tuesday through Saturday for dinner from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m., and Sunday brunch from 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. with an additional dinner slot from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. Reservations are accepted via OpenTable, and the bar serves a rotating selection of craft beers, natural wines, and signature cocktails such as the “Eisenhower Spritz.” Whether you’re a local looking for a new weekend spot or a visitor exploring Long Island, The Union promises a warm, communal atmosphere where great food and good company meet.
