Fork Yeah! It’s Restaurant Week 🍽️

From April 27 to May 4, 28 restaurants across the North Fork, South Fork, Riverhead, and Wading River are rolling out prix-fixe deals that’ll have your stomach (and wallet) doing a happy dance.

We’re talking $29, $39, or $46 dinners, and a few spots are even dishing out $24 two-course lunches. So plan ahead, snag that table, and get your local food fix before the summer crowds roll in.

Floyd Memorial Library, aka the literary lifeline for Greenport, East Marion, and Orient, just locked in its proposed budget for 2025–26. The $1.22M plan includes a 4% tax levy increase (about $615K from Greenport and $546K from Oysterponds), but no capital improvements this time around.

Library director Ellen Nasto gave a heartfelt shoutout to the community and called for continued support to keep the pages turning. Want a say in the story? The budget vote is May 20 from 2–8 PM at Greenport High School and Oysterponds Elementary. ($)
