If you’re looking for a casual pub with elevated food and a New York City manhole-cover theme, your ship has come in. The establishment is owned by Sam Potente, whose family business, John E. Potente & Sons, deals in concrete products & cast-iron manhole frames and covers. Molds for New York City storm drain and manhole-covers are a decorative motif throughout the establishment. It’s believed that Hicksville needed The Foundry. “A lot of places around here have closed. We wanted to open a place for the locals, but with food that would make it a destination too.”
