Understanding the Huntington Market
Huntington is the most active independent restaurant town in Suffolk County and one of the most established dining destinations on Long Island. Huntington Village's walkable downtown has anchored a chef driven independent scene for over two decades, drawing regional food media attention and a customer base from across the North Shore.
Lease rates run higher than most Suffolk County markets but below the most premium Nassau and NYC adjacent corridors. Huntington Village's prime blocks reach $48 to $58 per square foot annually. North Shore affluent corridors run $38 to $54. The mall and commercial corridors run $30 to $48. Asset sales start from $42,000 and business sales from $120,000.
Huntington restaurant economics reward concepts with strong design, consistent press, and the ability to draw the affluent North Shore customer base. The market is less seasonal than barrier island Long Island but does see summer lift from boating and second home traffic. Year round residential demand provides a stable revenue floor.
Where to Lease a Restaurant in Huntington
Huntington's restaurant submarkets each carry distinct customer bases, lease economics, and concept fit. Choosing the right one matters as much as the concept itself.
- Huntington Village and Wall Street: Huntington Village's downtown core anchors Suffolk County's most active independent dining corridor. Lease rates run $42 to $58 per square foot. Strong evening and weekend foot traffic with year round affluent residential customer base.
- Cold Spring Harbor and Lloyd Harbor: The Cold Spring Harbor and Lloyd Harbor corridors serve a deeply affluent year round residential customer base. Lease rates run $38 to $54 per square foot. Strong opportunity for higher end concepts with consistent regional press attention.
- Walt Whitman Mall and Route 110: Walt Whitman Mall and the Route 110 commercial corridor draw a regional shopping and dining customer base. Lease rates run $34 to $48 per square foot. National chain presence is meaningful.
- South Huntington and Melville: South Huntington and Melville support family driven dining demand. Lease rates run $30 to $42 per square foot. Strong opportunity for value driven and neighborhood concepts.
Types of Restaurant Spaces for Lease in Huntington
Pepperlot covers every restaurant lease format across Huntington, from chef driven second generation spaces to ghost kitchen suites and new construction.
- Second Generation Space: Previously operated as a restaurant with hood, grease trap, plumbing, and venting in place. Saves $150,000 to $500,000 in build out costs (more in NYC) and is the fastest path to opening anywhere in New York.
- Turnkey Restaurant: Fully equipped and ready to operate, often with the previous concept's furniture, fixtures, and equipment included in the lease. Ideal for operators wanting to open within 30 to 60 days.
- Ghost Kitchen Suite: Delivery only commercial kitchen suites with shared infrastructure. Lower entry cost than full restaurant leases and ideal for cloud kitchen brands and delivery first concepts.

Identify Second Generation Opportunities
Second generation restaurant spaces save $150,000 to $500,000 in build out costs. Confirm the existing hood type, grease trap capacity, plumbing condition, and electrical capacity match your concept's requirements before committing.
Contact the Landlord or Broker
Each listing displays the contact details for the landlord or listing broker. Reach out directly. Ask for the lease term, base rent, CAM charges, NNN structure, tenant improvement allowance, and any operational restrictions. Huntington landlords vary significantly in flexibility.
Negotiate Lease Terms
Huntington restaurant lease rates range from $30 to $58 per square foot annually. Negotiate beyond just the base rent. Personal guarantee structure, free rent periods, tenant improvement allowance, and renewal options often have more economic impact than base rent reductions.

On Pepperlot, the most active Huntington submarkets for lease listings are Huntington Village and Wall Street, Cold Spring Harbor and Lloyd Harbor, Walt Whitman Mall and Route 110. Each carries different lease rates, customer bases, and concept fit. Choose the submarket where your concept aligns with the existing or growing customer mix.
What is a second generation restaurant space in Huntington?
A second generation space in Huntington is one that previously operated as a restaurant and retains the hood system, grease trap, plumbing, and venting infrastructure. These spaces save tenants $150,000 to $500,000 in build out costs and are the fastest path to opening, particularly in Huntington's established submarkets.
Are CAM and triple net charges common in Huntington restaurant leases?
Yes. Most Huntington restaurant leases are NNN, meaning the tenant pays property taxes, insurance, and CAM on top of base rent. CAM charges in Huntington shopping centers and mixed use developments typically add $8 to $18 per square foot annually. Always request the most recent CAM reconciliation.
Do I need an SLA license to lease a restaurant space in Huntington?
If your concept will serve alcohol, yes. The SLA issues on-premises liquor, beer and wine, and special restaurant licenses for New York restaurants. Some Huntington leases include the existing license in the assignment. Others require the tenant to apply separately, which can take 90 to 180 days. Confirm with the landlord and SLA before signing.

Yes. Listing on Pepperlot is free. Create a Huntington-specific listing with the hood system type, grease trap status, square footage, lease rate, and CAM charges. Confidential options are available for landlords replacing struggling tenants without alerting current staff.
