The Lowdown

Mayor vs. Inspector? 🔥⚖️

Things are heating up in Greenport.

Suffolk County prosecutors have issued grand jury subpoenas to several village officials, digging into records from a 2023 fire at Sterlington Deli and a separate construction project completed in the past two years.

Former village building inspector Alex Bolanos—recently fired and locked in a labor dispute with the village—claims Mayor Kevin Stuessi overrode his order to close the deli after a grease fire revealed serious safety hazards. Bolanos says he taped it off, only to find it open the next morning. The deli owner allegedly told him the mayor gave the green light to stay open, prompting Bolanos to call in a county fire marshal, who shut it down again.

Neither Mayor Stuessi nor acting village attorney Brian Stolar have commented on the investigation. But with grand jury subpoenas now in play, legal experts say this is no small matter. Stay tuned. ($)

Foodie Friday 🍽

A Weekend Bite at Pip’s

Last weekend, we finally made it to Pip’s Cafe & Provisions in Greenport, located in D’Latte’s former space. The hype was real, you walk in, and the smell alone tells you—you’re in for a treat. Fresh, homemade, and straight-up delicious.

Absolutely loved the artwork on the wall showcasing famous Pip’s from Scottie PIPen to Pip from South Park.

Here’s what you need to try:

🥓 Bacon, Egg & Cheese on a Milk Bun – This is the BEC of your dreams. Fluffy, buttery eggs stacked on a soft, pillowy milk bun. Could be one of the best we ever had.

🍊 Cinnamon Roll – Think rich cream cheese glaze with a pop of orange zest. Sweet, tangy, and the perfect excuse to eat dessert for breakfast.

🍓 Raspberry Danish – Flaky. Tart. Buttery. If you like a pastry with a little zing, this one’s calling your name.

🥐 Pistachio Cream Croissant – Dipped in white chocolate. Topped with toasted pistachios. Enough said.

Oh, and the coffee? Just as good as the pastries.

Nothing in this section is sponsored. They’re just fun things you need to know. I’ll always let you know when something is sponsored
