9/24/22: Visit! Village of Greenport is adorable!…read more Took the Shelter Island ferry over to the '22 Maritime Festival. We boarded a replica of the Amistad ship. A narrator gave us some of the ship's history. We walked around the festival. Everyone was in a good mood. Lots of cool kiosks with a variety of goods and "Cheer" were for sale. Purchased some lovely lavender from one of the kiosks. : D We stopped where ironworks were demonstrated and beautiful rustic ironwork crafts were sold. (Please check out my pics). Lots of cute shops, pubs and restaurants in the Village of Greenport! A carousel is in the port too! Definitely would return!

Sail your boat or take a yacht and explore Shelter Island and Sag Harbor nearby on the Peconic Bay. Best wineries and vineyards are here on the East End of New York. All very good. Enjoy!

He was so knowledgeable about Pollock and Krasner's life and the art scene in which they lived during their time. The tour includes a look inside Pollock's studio, which is breathtaking as well as a tour of their home. The property is so tranquil and peaceful as well might I add. If you are an art lover/fan this tour is a must do!

If you're from Long Island, you've heard of the Big Duck, you've seen it on postcards of Long…read moreIsland (yeah these exist, go to like, the Jones Beach gift shop). But find me a local who has actually been there, actually seen it. I'll wait. I've had my share of decades here on Long Island, and I'd never seen the Big Duck. My wife and I were headed out to Montauk, so of course we had to visit. I didn't realize how close it was to Riverhead, or I would have visited a long time ago. It's a big duck. Seems to be owned by the County or something. The duck itself is a gift shop (I think it used to sell eggs, natch) but the grounds are tastefully maintained, and there's a museum on site (bathrooms, too). Unfortunately, in late June, it was all still covid-shut, but that also meant that we were the only ones there (it was also a weekday). I had low expectations anyway, I just wanted to see the duck. It was more exciting than I thought it would be, but really, all I wanted was to see the Big Duck as a stop on our trip. It was not out of the way, and worth the detour. 5 out of 5 if you keep your expectations low. It's a duck.

As a transplant to New York and Long Island, I had heard about the Big Duck, so when I realized it…read morewas along our route to Montauk, we had to stop. It's exactly what it sounds like--a giant white duck on the side of the road. There are restrooms, a small parking lot, and a gift shop inside the duck with plenty of duck-themed souvenirs. The employee was knowledgeable about the history and shared interesting facts while we looked around. We snapped a few pictures and continued on our way. I wouldn't plan a trip just to see it, but if you're already headed that way, it's a fun stop for some silly photos and a chance to stretch your legs.

For those wanting to know what happens the first day.....JURY DUTY…read more Easy to find. Plenty of free parking on property. Entrance to courthouse on side of building by road. You go through security, make a right and signs on door display "Jury Room". I went from parking lot to filling out the 2 forms in the jury room in a matter of 5 minutes. From this point it's hurry up and wait. You may be there a full day 9:30 til 4:00, or a half day 9:30 til noon. If you are there a full day, chances are you will be picked for duty.....and may be there for days. They selected enough potential jurors before they got to me so I was let go at noon. Lucky. Out of about 60 people, there were only 6 left who were let go, me being one of them. The remaining take lunch, come back at 2:00 and proceed til 4. Not sure what their fate will be, but I really don't care.

I thought after checking in online for Jury Duty after 4 consecutive nights I was done but instead…read moreI was directed to go to the Supreme Court Building in Riverhead in the morning for 9:30 . I have done Jury Duty many,many times at the Criminal Courts but this was my first time here .On arrival it's the usual, go through the metal detector, get your belongings scanned, fill out some forms and go sit and wait. The employees are very friendly and helpful and they explain to everyone what the day will entail and we all watch an orientation film which helps the time go by a little faster . There is a small cafe where you can grab a bite and a coffee , it's clean and the girl at the counter is very friendly . They do have WIFi so that helps , you can use your phone and I-Pad .I also brought along a book , but for me it was a little difficult to concentrate with the TV on and people talking .By 10:00 Two groups of people were called to be interviewed with the lawyers and the rest of us continued to wait . The time seemed to go by quickly and at around 12:30 we were all told they had selected all the jurors they needed and we were all free to go. I was expecting to have to endure a long boring day but it was a nice surprise for everyone . So , all in all I had a much better experience than I've had in the past. Civic duty done!

I recently had to renew my passport and I had gone to a different post office and was told to go to…read morethe Southampton branch. Apparently, they can deal with passports more efficiently at this branch. I had picked up the form previously and had it filled out. I presented it to the clerk, he checked it, then told me I had to have my picture taken which was done quickly and within a few weeks, I received my new passport. It was done very expeditiously and is a real time saver. If you need a passport or a renewal, pick up the form in advance and fill it out to save time. I would recommend this post office to renew, getting an original passport or renewing an expired passport. When you start the process, make sure you have the correct form [provided at the post office] for what you need-a renewal form for renewing a passport, etc.

Agreed! This Post Office is pleasing and wait times are never daunting! Love, Love, Love it!read more
