Board approves permit for new Nepali eatery

The village board approved a special use permit for Momo 2 Go, a Nepali eatery that will occupy the former Remo's Deli site in New Hyde Park. Trustees also reported updates on water station upgrades, public works renovations, and local grant and budget matters.

The village board approved a special use permit for Momo 2 Go, a Nepali eatery that combines momo from Tibet with spices from India and will use the location once occupied by Remo's Deli. Remo's Deli closed in 2023 after 42 years in New Hyde Park. The board meeting also included routine updates from trustees and department superintendents on infrastructure, parks, and budget items. Key details: - Momo 2 Go will occupy the former Remo's Deli building in New Hyde Park, and the applicant described the menu as combining momo from Tibet with Indian spices. - Trustee Rainer Burger reported that upgrades at water Station 44 are delayed after the Water Authority of Western Nassau County issued a default letter to the contractor; Station 40 renovations are continuing as planned. - Renovations to water stations are intended to upgrade filtration systems to meet rules on 1,4-dioxane and other contaminants. - The Department of Public Works facility renovations are nearing completion, and Sakowich Park renovations are reported as almost finished. - Marcus Christ Hall exterior renovations are expected to be completed by early February, and Deputy Mayor Madhvi Nijjar said the village has begun issuing delinquent tax notices while preparing for the next budget and awaiting an auditors' written statement. - Officials noted grant activity, including a remaining $12,800 in a Community Development Block Grant that must be spent within six months. Summary: The permit approval clears the way for Momo 2 Go to use the former deli site, representing a change in downtown storefronts while the board discusses broader infrastructure and budget matters. Village officials reported delays and progress on several renovation and water-filtration projects that affect local services. Undetermined at this time.
