Well Water Woes 🚨

Suffolk County is testing private wells around Reeve Avenue in Mattituck after harmful chemicals, PFOA and PFOS (aka “forever chemicals”) were found in the water. Out of 27 wells tested so far, 14 came back above the state’s safety limit. Yikes.

The source? Still a mystery. But testing has expanded to 51 wells, and anyone with unsafe results is getting bottled water or carbon filtration systems while the county investigates.

County officials say the public water system is safe. Well testing is free, just call 631-852-5810 if you’re in the area and concerned. ($)

Best of the Best 🔥

From spots to dock your boat to places to sip rosé, get sweaty, or find the perfect hostess gift, the North Fork’s local businesses are the heart and flavor of the community.

And no one gets that more than Northforker. Every year, their team debates and discusses the top five in categories like best waterfront dining, hiking trails, fitness studios, wineries, and more.

They don’t rank them (no drama here), just list them alphabetically. But trust us, you’re gonna want to check out every single one.

Happenings: Upcoming Events

⛵️ Set Sail Back in Time The Kalmar Nyckel, Tall Ship of Delaware,(aka floating time machine) is docking in Greenport from July 22 to August 3. She’s a full-scale replica of a 1638 Swedish merchant ship and yes, she’s cooler than your average boat tour.

Hop aboard for a 2.5-hour sail, you can haul lines, set sails, hear wild sailor tales, or do absolutely none of that and just chill on deck with the sea breeze. Bonus: FREE deck tours on Saturday, July 26 and Saturday, August 2. More Info

🎭 Othello Comes to Greenport Northeast Stage is bringing the drama, literally. From Friday, July 15- Sunday, July 27, they’re performing Shakespeare’s Othello at Mitchell Park, and it’s serving betrayal, jealousy, and some of the Bard’s juiciest lines. Don’t miss your chance to catch the timeless tragedy under the stars. More Info

🍽️ Vineyard Dinner Bedell Cellars is throwing a vineyard dinner and you’re gonna want a seat at this table. Chef Adam Kelinson of Around the Fire Catering is serving up a fresh, farm-to-table feast, paired perfectly with Bedell’s finest wines. Space is super limited, so snag your spot before it’s just you and a bowl of cereal at home. More Info
