Sag Harbor's Dockside Bar and Grill will reopen in the spring with a new name, Bay Street Tavern, and new owners, among them chef Eric Miller of Rita Cantina, who promises to continue Dockside's commitment to local purveyors and an egalitarian atmosphere.

Tempting Thanksgiving menus are on offer from 1770 House (to go or at the restaurant), Art of Eating, Lulu Kitchen and Bar, and L&W Market.

Tutto Cafe and Sant'Ambroeus are poised to open in East Hampton, and Townline BBQ has offerings for hungry football fans (and everybody else), including wings, rib tips, homemade potato chips, nachos, and mac and cheese bites, and a Splat dinner to be cooked at home.

Starting Monday, the Southampton Town Police Department and Stony Brook Southampton Hospital will be collecting donations of winter coats, gloves, hats, and scarves to help provide warmth to those in need.
