The story behind Modern Snack Bar in Aquebogue

Otto and John Wittmeier grew up at the Modern Snack Bar. After taking over the Aquebogue eatery from their parents in 1988, the brothers have tried to keep the atmosphere the same for their customers. They talked with Newsday food critic Scott Vogel about how they've dealt with the changes brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic.  Credit: Newsday / Chris Ware; Photo credits: John Wittmeier, Raychel Brightman, Joe Dombrowski, Kirsten Luce, Erica Marcus/Chris Ware; Photo credits: John Wittmeier, Raychel Brightman, Joe Dombrowski, Kirsten Luce, Erica Marcus
