They don't even have shopping baskets anymore, and I see why - there's so little to buy. They are concentrating on deli, pizza, and the like. Which isn't bad, but is pretty slow. Gone is the community market feel that the Whitney's created for so many years. What a loss. I guess everyone is shipping their groceries in to Kismet these days. And I can certainly see why that is necessary.

The local restaurant was closed on a day the web said it was open, so I took the 20 minute walk east to Ocean Beach and easily found the store. Don't bother with the $$$ water taxi, or the super sandy mid-road (with mini-ponds to go through after rain!) It is a lovely walk on the beach. Fruits, snacks, drinks and a really friendly staff made my lunch hunt easy. I was not immediately interested in the deli, but that was more about not wanting to carry a sandwich around on a hot day. *Tip: I would bring a plastic bag. My paper bag tore on the way back and seagulls snagged some of my snacks

Stopped in for lunch before heading to the beach and ordered for the 3 of us: a chicken sandwich, Seaview grilled cheese sandwich, pickle, macaroni salad, and antipasto salad. Sandwiches were ok, not great, Mac salad was pretty bland, antipasto salad was way too salty. Pickle was the best part of the lunch. The açaí bowls looked popular, though. No seating available, but we walked down to the bay, took a right, and ate on a bench overlooking the bay.

Stopped in this morning, and was going to get some fruit, but their selection was pretty meager, so figured I'd wait and go to the Farmers Market today (Thursday) at 9 am. I did pick up a cinnamon roll (pretty good, but very sweet, more like a donut) and a chocolate croissant (not so good; very dense; not flaky). Their website says they are open daily 7 am - 5 pm, but are often open til 8 pm or later. Note: Yelp had listed the place as closed, but it's definitely open.

So let's just stipulate that the prices are eye-watering and you just need to take that as a given. That aside, the Pantry has all.the.things. Pretty much anything you need to enjoy this Fire Island paradise, from baguettes to fresh veggies to candles to dog treats. The butcher is excellent, so's the fish, and they make great sandwiches and prepared food. We get kinda fancy here in the Pines (I mean, we have tea EVERY DAY haha), so you can find things like artisan pasta sauce, cheeses, and fresh herbs. Generally all of this is delivered by a bunch of friendly folks with ready smiles, so, win-win.
