VVH-TV's Tribute to Nick Monte of Gurney's Inn
VVH-TV's Tribute to Nick Monte of Gurney's Inn Nick Monte (Montemarano), the adored Innkeeper of Long Island's most famous, historic beach resort, Gurney's Inn and founder of the American seawater spa passed away Saturday October 13th in Nevada. He was just a over a month shy of his 91st birthday. Nick was born on November 26, 1916, the fifth of seven boys, in the apartment over their parents restaurant, Monte's Venetian Room on Carol Street.. Neither depressions nor recessions, mayor wars nor minor wars, prohibition nor epidemics ever disrupted the continuity of this tiny Italian restaurant and the love Nick had for his family. In 1932, Nick, only 16 years old, took over the business after his father had an accident, and he had to drop out of Brooklyn Tech. From that moment on Nick Monte become the forever gracious host of Monte's Venetian Room until he acquired Gurney's Inn in 1956 and moved to Montauk. As the story goes, one afternoon in the summer of 1955, a friend in Brooklyn who had a house in Montauk invited Nick to lunch in Montauk with the promise of the best linguini and clam sauce he'd ever tasted. For a man who owned one of the most successful Italian restaurants in Brooklyn, Monte's Venetian Room on Carroll Street, he had to admit he was intrigued. Upon arriving at his friend's home he was offered a glass of wine on the deck overlooking the ocean. The two men sat and talked for some time. They talked and then they talked some more...there they were sitting on the deck sipping wine jovially and languorously, when low and behold, the bottle was gone and lunch was nowhere to be found. So Nick thought it worth mentioning the promised lunch. Since neither of the men was in any condition to cook at that time, they decided to head over to Gurney's Inn for lunch. At the time, Gurney's was owned by Mrs. Maude Gurney, who happened to be a Christian Scientist. Christian Scientists do not believe in the consumption of alcohol, therefore the restaurant carried no liquor whatsoever. Well, here he was in such a beautiful place, with good food and a divine view and the glass of wine Nick Monte would have loved to savor with his meal was nowhere to be found! It seemed he had no choice but to offer to buy the restaurant and hotel from Mrs. Gurney so that he could properly enjoy his meal. Initially, after accepting his card, she refused his offer. But several months later, after giving the offer careful consideration, she phoned Nick to say that she was interested. If you ask him today, he will tell you that he never expected to hear from her ever again. Well, in fairly short order, the deal was struck, and Gurney's Inn became the property of Nick Monte. Always looking to preserve the best of what Montauk had to offer, Mr. Monte was very active and instrumental in having the Montauk Lighthouse designated as a National Historical Monument. On April 17, 1979 when the International Health and Beauty Sea Water Spa was finished, it was officially opened by Mario Cuomo, then Lt. Governor of New York State. To this day it is still the only spa of its kind in the continental United States using healing Seawater in its Roman Baths, the heated indoor seawater pool, and the famous Thalasso-therapies. Nick Monte's passion for Thalasso 'healing sea water' is passed on with the The Annual Nick Monte Lifetime Community Leadership Award which honors a person of the East End community. This individual demonstrates dedication, passion and creativity in preserving and supporting the Montauk community. The honoree has provided valuable service by contributing time and energy to improve the quality of life and preserving of the history of the community. The recipient receives a lifetime spa membership, a gift of health and well being. He is survived by his loving wife of 17 years, Lola and his younger brother Angelo Monte. A memorial service and a celebration of his life are being planned for Sunday, November 18th at Gurney's Inn. Further details will be published when they are finalized. The family has asked that Memorial donations be made to the Edward S. Harkness Eye Institute at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons.

VVH-TV's Tribute to Angelo Monte of Gurney's Inn
Angelo Peter Montemarano Sr., a member of Montauks Monte family who worked at Gurneys Inn for the past 40 years, died last Thursday of a heart attack at the house on Taft Drive where his family had lived for the past 37 years. He was 88. Mr. Montemarano was born into the hospitality business. A son of Angelo P. Montemarano and the former Filomena Albano, he was born on Dec. 15, 1919, in the apartment above his fathers Brooklyn restaurant, Montes Venetian Room, and grew up there. When he returned from his tour of duty in World War II, his father immediately put him to work. He was the night bartender and manager there between 1945 and 1968. Shortly after Pearl Harbor, he enlisted in the Marines and went through boot camp, but was medically discharged because he had flat feet. I guess it didnt matter to the Army, said his son, who explained that his father was undeterred and enlisted in the Army. He wound up at Omaha Beach on D-Day morning and was among the first wave of troops to storm Normandy. As a decorated veteran, he was very proud to have served his country. He loved his country very much, his son said. Mr. Montemarano was awarded a medal for his service from the French government in the 1990s. It was a wonderful ceremony at La Salle Military Academy in Oakdale, and one that his father remembered fondly. Mr. Montemarano was a man who held his family and his work in high regard, and lived for them both. His motto was, United we stand, divided we fall. In 1968, he came to Montauk to help out his brother, Nick Montemarano, who had been in an accident and needed some help running Gurneys Inn. Shortly after he got here, he called my mother — we were all living in Brooklyn at the time — and said, Pack up the kids, were moving to Montauk, his son recalled. As the restaurant manager at the resort, which includes the Sea Grille dining room, which was dedicated to him, Mr. Montemarano attracted a following of customers who, according to a press release, included politicians, entertainers, gangsters, and just plain neighborhood folks. To him, everybody was the same, his son said. He was very warm and genuine and one of the last true gentlemen. He loved Montauk, but certainly talked about Brooklyn a lot. After all, he was born above the restaurant there, and later lived in Bensonhurst and Howard Beach, said his son. Although Mr. Montemarano played more of a behind-the-scenes role than Nick, his larger-than-life older brother, who died in October 2007, he was a very familiar face in the lobby and the coffee shop and loved telling stories, his son said. Up until the day of his death, he was out of the house and in the office by 7:30 in the morning, and hed work until 3 or 4 in the afternoon. On Nov. 29, 1952, he married the former Gladys Mayo. The couple shared a passion for hospitality, which they imparted to their children. His wife died in 1989. Besides Paul Montemarano of Montauk, he is survived by another son, Angelo Peter Montemarano Jr., who also lives in Montauk, and by three daughters, Phyllis Ann Lomitola of Montauk, Ann Marie Pallan of Garden City, and Theresa Biscardi of Bellmore. He is also survived by 14 grandchildren. The family suggested that memorial donations be made to the Montauk Ambulance Squad, 12 Flamingo Avenue, Montauk 11954, or to the Wounded Warrior Project, P.O. Box 758517, Topeka, Kan. 66675-8517.
