Huntington Local

People are still talking about Billy Joel's recent Mother's Day weekend appearance in downtown Huntington. On May 10, he drove his Harley into town and stopped at Cassis. He sat outside the French bistro on Wall Street and had a drink with a friend. Later that weekend, he took his mother, Rosalind Nyman Joel, who lives in Huntington in a house purchased for $248,000 in 1984, for a Mother's Day dinner at the more traditional Abel Conklins on New Street. Joel owns a house in Centre Island, which is now on the market for $32.5 million, as well as homes in Sagaponack and Sag Harbor.
