Sag Harbor-based entrepreneurs Michael Gluckman and Shane Dyckman have almost a dozen restaurant proprietorship experiences — most recently Madison and Main in Sag Harbor for Mr. Gluckman and SagTown Coffee in the village and in Montauk for Mr. Dyckman. This May, the duo will open The Service Station in East Hampton, housed in the former Winston’s and Nichol’s space on Montauk Highway.  The family-friendy eatery will serve comfort and casual American fare, and will be open for lunch and dinner seven days a week, year-round. Named for a former use of the property, which was a gas station in the 1920s, the concept will be “a hometown spot by the roadside, where you can fill up on good food,” says Gluckman, with décor reminiscent of a Prohibition-style tavern.  [photo via sagharboronline.com].
