Here's a different venue: Sag Harbor's Sag Pizza, where Hopefully Forgiven will entertain diners starting at 4 p.m. Friday. Weather permitting, the band plays at Salt on Shelter Island on Sundays from 4 to sunset. 
     
Back in East Hampton, Inda Eaton will be the performer at Main Beach in East Hampton Village on Tuesday from 6:30 to 8 p.m., and every Thursday Gene Casey and the Lone Sharks are at the Clubhouse. Winston Irie and Friends are on for Sundays there, with live music on Mondays, too, all from 6 to 9 p.m. 

This article has been modified from its original and print versions because it incorrectly listed Michael Sarian's New Aurora Quartet's Parrish Art Museum concert as taking place Friday. The correct date for that concert is Aug. 6.
 

Say Cheese (or Caviar), Day or Night

Self Provisions, a storefront attached to Cavaniola’s Gourmet Cheese in Sag Harbor, is “always open,” as is proclaimed by an illuminated sign on the wall at the entrance. Two large, brightly lit vending machines dominate the space, with offerings ranging from sea salt crackers and slabs of French butter to jars of caviar and curated gift boxes — and, of course, cheese.
